Hey list,
A while back I wrote that I would post a review of of the Gigatracker
recorder I bought from from The Sound Professionals .

I've used this unit to record 6 or 7 rehearsals & three gigs. I am
VERY
happy with it. The tiny stereo pre-amp is amazing. The optional
stereo mic I
bought with the unit was unsatifactory, so I got a couple AKG
c1000s mics that
really improved the sound. I am still learning how to best place
the mics, but
for ease of operation & recording fidelity, this little thing is
fantastic!
If I could just eliminate the loud drunks in the audience, I'd
have CD
quality recordings. Of course, if I eliminated loud drunks from
our audience, we'd
lose half our fan base.
Recording all our gigs has been eye ( or, I guess, ear) opening.
It is
making me a better player. Stuff I thought was challenging & cool
doesn't come
across as well live, stuff I think of as easy & boring often
sounds great.
Live & learn.
We have live recordings of some of our tunes up on our website. The
latest
stuff was recorded with the Gigatracker. Check it out.
Later,
Rosco
