Re: [klezkamp] recording devices

[Daniel Hart Perelstein <daniel.h.perelstein...>]

I have been using a mini-disc recorder for about six months now.  I use
it to record myself when I am practicing clarinet, record recitals and
concerts, make mixes of cd's, and also to record my klezmer group.

The sound is incredible!  They are great and I would highly recommend
buying one.  They are expensive (you should expect to pay at least $180
plus another $20 to buy a microphone for external recording), but
because it is well worth it.

Because they record in digital, they last forever and you can re-record
over a mini-disc thousands of times, with no loss in sound quality.  A
normal mini-disc can hold 74 minutes of music.

Happy Listening,

Dan
