Question by amishphysicist: We need something for recording band practice. What’s the best digital field recorder 0 or less?
I’m looking for a digital field recorder for my band and would like something that records directly to mp3. Things like the PMD620 and the PCM-D1 are way out of my range. We’re looking for something that can give us a pretty good stereo mix without blowing up like a voice memo recorder probably would.

Price is just as important as quality here, so we’re willing to settle for something with a little less fidelity if it would mean a better price. Ideally we’d be getting a stereo recording that doesn’t distort or clip in a live-band-volume situation.

Thus far, the H2 Handy Stereo Field Recorder seems like the closest answer for us, but the price is still a bit high for what we’re looking for.
Just to clarify: I’m looking for the actual recording device, not software to record with. An actual battery-powered unit with mics, flash memory and usb output.

For rounds two and three of the Field Recorder Shootout, Owen O’Malley tests out our three recorders in a large indoor shopping mall and at the train tracks! We will still be taking bets, however. On anything. Owen also explains why we didn’t put a windscreen on any of these recorders, and it’s not because we’re totally ignorant, we promise. See more on gearwire.com.
