About half price... HIGHLY recommended.

I've got one; love it!

WOW that's a great price for one of these. This was a big seller for Zoom.

I've had one since they came out and it's an outstanding value! I have a 16-gig card in it and record myself in WAV format most nights. I plug it into the aux in in my car on the way home to critique new songs and tweeks. You can plug it into the PC for transfer, or just pop the card out and plug it in instead.
Very versatile and of top quality.
Of course you can load MP3s for playback during break or just to listen.
You can record via stereo line-in, as I do, or with external mics, or the built-in mics.

Don,

How do you hook it up at the job?

Thanks,

It depends. Right now, I'm using a mixer most of the time so I run the outputs of the keyboard and the vocal harmonizer into channels on the mixer.
Then I plug the tape outputs from the mixer into the stereo line input on the Zoom.
When I had a PSR S900, I recorded from the headphone output directly into the line in on the Zoom. Both work great.

Really nice little unit. Recorded an impromptu fundraising concert with a 5 piece (me, included) last week. Almost goo enough to issue as a C/D for additional fundraising.

Like it better than the more expensive unit.

One advantage of these things is a folder system for files... You don't use it just for recording. Put break music in one folder, and use it for, well, you know!

Then change to another folder to record into. It also time-stamps audio, so if you've got a whole heap of files, and you want to look up something from ten days ago, there is the date stamp to help sort them out.

Auto recording is cool, too. Put it into permanent record, hook up to your keyboard mixer. It will turn itself on when you start playing, and turn itself off when you stop... (and timestamp). Never miss a good idea again from not having the red light on (great for songwriters).

This is my favorite purchase for this year...

Thanx for the info Russ...I'll be getting one for a personal Xmas present........will be a great tool for recording parts of the Louisiana Jam in January 18.19.20.21 when we go down to see Don M.

Ummm, just found mine in a mike drawer in my 'studio'. I'd forgotten what a nice little unit this is. Nothing like rediscovering 'toys'.
