by David Franklin from Kansas City, MO USA
After using computer based recording for quite a few years at our church, we ran into some software/hardware issues and decided to look for a simpler solution. Dan VanAmerongen recommended the Sony P... read more [+]CM-D50. We've been using this little jewel for several months now. It is great! No stringing of mic cables, no issues if the computer goes weird on us, etc. The built in mics give all the quality we need for this type of use, it is simple to use, and we've not had problem number one so far. We could not be happier with our choice. close [-]
November 23, 2009 Music Background: Like a camera for sound
by Tommy from Emporia, Kansas USA
This recorder completely satisfies my hopes and expectations. It very easily provides a very accurate record of musical performances, conversations, and ambient sounds. It's kind of like a high qual... read more [+]ity camera that takes pictures and sound rather than light. It's a dream come true. I bought the tripod, the remote control, and the windscreen too. These accessories are somewhat expensive, but they work very well, and they are a joy to use. What the heck. I will use them for many years. The unit exudes quality construction, and the controls are simple and obvious to use properly. Note that the recorder comes with 4 GB of memory. I think it's a bargain, and that helped me to feel okay about buying the accessories from Sony as well. The program comes with Sound Forge software that makes it easy to extract the parts of your recordings that you want to keep and save the files as MP3 files in whatever sample rate and bit rate you desire. I strongly recommend this unit, and I have no reservations about it whatsoever. close [-]
