Re: Recording yourself when practicing

I formerly used a USB interface with phantom power to get 2 cond. mics directly into computer.
The monitor headset gives a good idea of the sound while recording, and cancels outside sounds but of course can not cancel bone conduction.
The system is cumbersome and produced files that had to be converted to mp3 or wave to store on a cd

I switched to a compact flash media portable recorder. The bit rate is not as high, but it allows 2 cond mics, provides phantom power and a monitor jack, is not tethered to a computer, and the media is portable and easily loaded into the computer for editing. The unit is portable and runs on AC or batteries (AAx8 or NiCAD or NiMH).
I can now take the unit anywhere (my wife's piano is in living room, whereas computer is in separate room and needed long mic cables to reach to the interface, as the USB cable to the computer can not be longer than 8 ft.)
