You can record up to eight tracks simultaneously via the BR-1600’s eight XLR mic preamps or eight TRS inputs, and you can take advantage of built-in COSM effects, such as compression, amp modeling, EQ, bass-cut, vocal pitch correction, and more. Plus, there are 256 virtual tracks you can use for recording or backing tracks. An internal 80GB hard drive holds onto your content, and you can burn completed projects using the onboard CD burner. What’s more, you can connect your BR-1600CD to your computer via USB, for when you want to take your mobile recordings into your computer for further DAW-based editing. The BR-1600CD’s intuitive layout makes it easy to mix your tracks and control transport functions. Twelve faders plus a master fader give you tactile control, and a bright LCD display helps you navigate menus and keep an eye on your levels. It even supports video editing via V-LINK, with an Edirol video editor.

Since then, Portastudios have been used by songwriters and musicians, as well as even on a few classic albums along the way. Today’s Portastudios retain the simple, fun interface of the originals while updating the sound to CD-quality digital recording. The portable DP-004 is a 4-track recorder that’s smaller than a VHS tape. It records through a pair of 1/4" mic inputs or with a pair of built-in mics. Build up your arrangement, mix it to a dedicated stereo track, then transfer it to a computer over USB 2.0. The DP-02 is an 8-track Portastudio that records to a 40GB hard drive. It keeps the mixing interface easy, with knobs instead of menus. A pair of effects processors and a CD burner facilitate polished mixes. Also available, the DP-02CF records to CompactFlash cards, for a lower price. TASCAM’s 2488neo is the latest generation of the 24-track, 24-bit Portastudio. Eight mic inputs make it perfect for recording a small band, and new mastering effects get your mixes radio ready.

Tascam SWS Ad.indd 2 6/9/09 9:20:04 AM WHY YOU MUST BUY A PORTABLE RECORDER By Danielle Teagarden T hat’s right; we said it. Today’s portable recorders are just too slick, too handy, too awesome sounding, and too affordable. No matter your interest in music and audio, you’ve just got to have one. However, ProGear reader, consider yourself warned: as we set out to back up that claim with serious evidential value, odds are that reading further will result in a feeling of creative possibility, directly followed by a phone call to your Sales Engineer or a visit to Sweetwater’s Exclusive Guide to Portable Recorders (http://www.sweetwater.com/feature/recorders/) — all with the aim of pinpointing which handheld wonder is right for you and your music. And, trust us, one is. So, with that said, let’s get to the rubber-meeting-theroad part, as we dig in and take a look at the ways you’ll use your new portable friend. Songwriters and Solo Musicians: Get Creative Anytime, Anywhere All music depends on time — that’s fact. But, for the singer/songwriter and all-out creative individual, this concept takes on a slightly different meaning. That’s because song ideas, those pesky creatures, come at unpredictable moments — and almost never when we’re in the studio, with the microphones up and the tracks record-armed. The trick, then, is to find a way to harness those ideas as they arrive — in the car, on your lunch break, even in the shower — then develop them at more convenient times. But, while you can safely preserve lyrics by jotting them down on paper, should you forget a melody or a rhythm, it’s gone. Musicians have long-tried to conquer this apparent dilemma. We’ve heard of artists calling their home answering machines, filling them up with message after message of whistling melodies, lo-fi renditions of potential hit choruses, and desperate attempts of beatboxing in rhythms. Today, though, a lightweight microphone-equipped recorder will capture it all. Best yet, you can keep those ideas with you all day, to play back, to harmonize with, then to play along to whenever you get home to your instrument of choice. Of course, portable recorders are also just as useful when you’re in the zone, playing your instrument — or out at the gig performing those songs you thankfully captured with it. Since most of these devices have speakers built into them, you can track a potential rhythm part on guitar, for example, then instantly work on developing vocal melodies or building guitar parts over the top of it. Beyond that, since most recorders mount easily to mic stands or included tripod stands, you can set one up at your next coffeehouse gig to hear how you sounded. Then, you can share the live set with friends, build a pitchable demo, or post the tunes online for the world to hear. It’s fast, easy, and the sound quality is surprisingly impeccable. Music Teachers: Seize New Ways to Reach Your Students You’re passionate about music. And whether you’re a school band or choir teacher or a music shop lesson giver, you want to pass that passion on to your students — using the most fun and effective methods possible. Fortunately, with a portable recorder, there are a bunch of innovative ways to do just that. Teaching lessons? Simply set up the recorder in the room — either on a stand, or, if you have a desktop-type recorder, on a table — then record the lesson from start to finish. Since nearly all recorders capture audio to reusable SD or CompactFlash cards (some can capture straight to CDs), students can pop in their own cards to take home. Or, you can connect the recorder to your computer via USB, drag-and-drop the file to your desktop, and e-mail the file to your students. It’s no problem. Even cooler, though, is the fact that many recorders have other lesson-oriented tools built into them. You can load popular songs and create a quick loop, so students can practice 188-189_101_Mobile Recording.indd 188 6/16/09 10:14:56 AM SWEETWATER’S ESSENTIAL GUIDES a part over and over again. You can also use onboard pitch and speed controls to slow a loop down to comfortable practice speeds or to switch the key of the song — maybe to fit a student’s range or to develop transposition skills. You may also want to capture a particular chord progression, then have a student practice soloing over the top of it. Classroom-based teachers will find additional applications for their recorders. One real use is to capture band or choir practice, then target attention-needing areas later. You can also set up the recorder during sectionals or auditions so that you can listen back as you make decisions — maybe play one student’s audition alongside another student’s audition, to compare tone or to determine how two voices will blend together. Last, when students need backing tracks to rehearse to for solo competitions or auditions, you can easily set the recorder in front of your piano, play, then e-mail the file within a few minutes. Churches: Prepare Effectively and Connect with the Congregation No matter the size of your worship services, having a portable recorder — or three — will give your church a mine of possibilities to explore. To start, portable recorders are an enormously valuable tool for service preparation. With a recorder in hand, the worship leader can practice sermons, then listen back to gauge how effectively the message comes through. The choir and band, too, will find the recorder useful, as they rehearse together at the church, then practice at home with their newly recorded tracks. Recorders are equally — if not more — valuable, though, for capturing services from week to week. You can discreetly place it by the mixing board, or you can capture speech up at the podium. Either way, it gives you the ability to review services — but more than that, it helps you to make the recordings available to the congregation. Since you can almost instantly transfer tracks to your computer, it’s easy to post them online or to make a copy for those who couldn’t attend the service. You can also put together a CD of inspiring messages — or maybe the children’s choir performances — as a part of your church’s next fundraising project. Whatever you end up doing, having these shared experiences readily available is a neat way to unify your congregational community — and to preserve amazing moments as your church services continue to progress. Sound Guys and Gals: Capture Better-than-board-feed Recordings and Expand Your Client Roster Okay, so you’ve got your own killer system, or you’re riding faders on the club’s board, but you’ve been asked to record the show — now what? A mobile recording system may be awesome, but sometimes investing in (and hauling in) a laptop and a big-enough interface system can be overkill for what you’re looking to do. True, you can snag a stereo feed off of the board and pipe it into a CD burner. But, those mixes don’t always sound “right,” and they definitely don’t give you the same out-in-the-crowd “experience.” What’s the solution? As you might’ve guessed, a portable recorder will do just the trick — with finesse, to boot. A recorder’s onboard microphones often have variable pickup patterns, so you can nail the right sound when you capture the gig. Plus, options such as limiting controls, built-in processing, and basic editing features can help you to develop an incredible-sounding “product” — without ever calling a computer into service. Of course, once you do connect the recorder to your computer, you can bring tracks into an audio editing program and craft a fully mastered CD. of course). That way, you can give inquiring clients a basic mix demo, to secure the potential job. Second, you can make live recordings a bonus part of your services, for can’t-beat value — is anyone else doing that in your town? In addition, when you’re looking to get a mixing gig at another club, it won’t hurt to have an on-hand example or two of your work. At the end of the night, all things considered, you’ll be amazed at how easy the recording process was and how great the recordings (i.e., your mixes) turned out. Bands: Never Lose Another Brilliant Moment — Get Ideas Down Without the Recording Fuss Those in bands surely know what it’s like to jam on a new idea and suddenly have everyone just “gel.” For a minute there, you’ve got something new, something great. But, when you try to re-create it, the parts aren’t all there. What was that one bit in the middle? What was that lead? No one remembers. It’s time to pocket these moments of genius. Try setting up a portable recorder in the middle of your practice space; configure it for 360-degree recording; and go on about your rehearsal. In fact, if your recorder has a remote control, then you can create file markers between jams, start and stop recordings, and play back riffs — without ever leaving your pedalboard. After the practice, you can archive ideas for later on, or you can e-mail the shining moments to everyone in the group. Of course, if you nail a track, then you’ve got an instant (and cost-effective!) recording to post to your MySpace page. That’ll come in handy for recruiting potential band members, for giving fans a new-song teaser, or for securing a great gig. After all, this is how you sound live — no studio overdubs, no processing — and there’s merit in that. Though, should you want to snag a studio-style recording, some recorders even offer onboard overdubs or the capability to record four tracks at once — just mic the drum kit with built-in stereo mics, mic the guitar amp, plug the bass in direct, and rock out. Done. The Wrap Up All in all, there’s good reason why portable recorders are the hottest gadgets out there right now: they’re just handy. And with the musical applications we’ve covered — extending to potential creative sampling adventures, podcast-interview endeavors, and beyond — you’ll keep finding new ways to use your own pocket-sized pal. But, remember, you were warned. We’ll hold no liability if curiosity takes over and you find yourself recording GB after GB of random noises, just because you can; or if you turn all mad scientist and craft a holster-type system to record everything that happens to you, all the time; or, if you peeve your (once-)significant other by furnishing proof of his/her thunderous snoring… you get the idea. Pick one up; you won’t regret it. Happy recording! We’ll note that many marketing-savvy audio dudes and dudettes may wish to pull a few more tricks with these newly recorded tracks. First, it’ll be easy to create a webpage for your live services and post a few of the tracks online (with permission from the bands, 188-189_101_Mobile Recording.indd 189 6/16/09 10:15:21 AM 190 Recording & Duplication Call us today at (800) 222-4700 Handheld & Portable Recorders H2 Handy Recorder Handheld Field Recorder H4n 24-bit/96kHz Field Recorder with True 4-channel Recording The Zoom H4n digital handheld multitrack recorder adds another level of flexibility and functionality to a great unit!
