Hello!
Has anyone tried using a digital voice recorder for practicing? I wonder how the quality is and if anyone has had a good or bad experience using them for practice feedback.

Elanis-
I use a $40 mini-cassette recorder that I bought at Radio Shack when I practice. I don't use it to work on tone quality, obviously. It has, however, been a great tool in working on rhythm/tempo etc. It has the option of playing back at half speed so you can really figure out where your problems are (or you can record at half speed and play at full speed if you want to have a laugh), and this has made a HUGE impact on the evenness in my playing.
Of course, most of these have a button that you can push to make it shut off automatically after a few seconds of silence. I was unaware of this and I accidentally pressed the button a few years ago, and had a very frustrating week of practicing the slow mvt. of Beethoven 6- the stupid thing kept shutting off in the middle of the rests. I couldn't figure out how I could be about 4 beats off every time! Got a good laugh when I figured it out (after a good cry when I thought I couldn't count).
Try it, you'll like it.
