if you wanna play further with sounds i suggest looking into dummy clips. mainly because dummy clips can be unlinked (meaning phased looped automation) and they are relative to the controller parameter, so if you make a rack with a grain delay and map up two parameters and automate them they sound like so, but if you then start to twiddle the knob(s) while playing back the automation some very interesting things can happen. oh, and they are ofcourse clips, meaning that whatever you can do to a clip in live, you can do to a dummy clip aswell :D

cool. looks like i will add one of the two to my wishlist! my APC is on its way (taking the loong way) but the Edirol and Zoom are looking like a reasonable priced recorders. some neat accessories to buy too, although i wonder if my Goby tripod would work. sweet, i can totally go ghost hunting for EVP’s now too…(dude…… what wuz dat, you hear dat?)

Some superb tricks and information in these tutorials, cheers Nick.

I would like to say that personally I haven’t used either the Zoom or Edirol recorders, but I’m getting smashing recordings out of my Tascam DR-07. In fact I’ve never had to be so careful about noise floors before – it’s tremendously sensitive!

Nice one guys, thanks for that :)

@RCUS: I am using the Edirol R09-HR which has a stereo mic built right onto it. I’m far too lazy to go looking for fancy external preamps and mics, so I wanted something that would do the job by default. The R09 has performed well above-par in this respect, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. The Zoom H4 gets rave reviews as well.
