Hi, could you please enlighten me...
I'd like to buy an hd recorder that's
- max $400 or 300 euros, the cheaper the better,
- very good for recording in wav and mp3 formats (i don't need fm radio, digital camera...),
- easy to use when transfering files to computer, preferably linux-compatible.
I've read a lot of posts on your very informative forums and it seems that jb3 is the best option. But problem is I can't find it in Europe. I keep getting 'creative jukebox zen'... is this jukebox zen good as well? I've read on your jb3 faq that only jb3 is good for recording. But would there be newer creative/nomad products that might be good for recording as well?
Another thing is that jb3 works only on windows. Are there other brands that you would recommend?
And then I also need a mic that's
- max $150 or 120 euros, and
- good for recording classical (operatic) voice. A guitarist has told me that her mic was good only for lower frequencies... which one is good for singers then?
I've read on a classical singers forum that many of them use sony ecm ms907. What do you think about it? Are there better and cheaper alternatives to this?
Thank you for your time. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
