[Harp-L] recording practice/gigs

[Roscoharp@xxxxxxx]

Hey list,
 
Recording gigs & practices is the best learning & motivational tool  I've 
found. It can also help to influence your band to be better listeners &  
accompaniests. Warning: It can be humbling!! 
Inexpensive recording devices were always dissapointing to me, so I spent a  
few bucks to get something that works great, is easy to use, & sounds  
fantastic.
 
I love my Gigatracker bundle with the Archos Gmini 402, which includes a  
killer little mic pre-amp. The pre-amp makes this rig exceptional. This unit in  
it's case is roadworthy, easy to connect to mics, headphones, &  to a  PC (not 
sure about Mac.) It is also a very good music/video player.  I  think I paid 
around $600, not including a mic. I see it's going for $489 now. 
 
I very much agree that for quality recordings  you MUST have good  mics.
