Back again with a couple more sample recordings from this cheapo Teac VR-10 using internal mics.
The first I think is quite extraordinary -
considering the circumstancesvenue was a museum atrium - not exactly known for good acoustics -
in fact it was pretty awful -
Recorder placement was on the table in front of the band - I moved the tip jar forward - so the VR-10 was pointing toward the band unhindered.

Listening more carefully I can hear when the vocalist backs off the mic -
then her voice is not as reverb-y -
I think this was more a function of recording her voice more directly - rather than from the pa speakers.
I feel the recording was successful because of the close placement of the recorder/mics which recorded both the pa and a lot directly
so perhaps avoiding the very echo-y room acoustics.....
I am obviously not claiming this to be anywhere near great SQ - but it is extraordinary for the circumstances -
please let me know what you think?
Last night - different venue crowded club -
I think this is relatively successful because I perched the VR-10 on top of the lighting control box which was just above head height -
notice the main pa speakers up just above that level in the picture.
I liked the performance especially the guitar playing -
but also notice the bass great tone and playing......
