Very Pleased with the Tascam DR 05 portable recorder. The Sound is really excellent. I would advise reading through the manual first before trying the recorder as it makes things a lot easier to understand . Example being that you need to change the default setting of speaker from Off , to on to hear any sound , unless of course you are using headphones . Once you familiarise Yourself with all the controls it is very easy to use. You can records a track, play it back and overdub at the same time. Build quality is excellent and the screen is big enough to view without straining your eyes. The unit can be powered from commuter using USB cable supplied, although you might want to invest in some rechargeable batteries if your going to use outside for more than a couple of hours . Well worth the money and I would defiantly buy another in future.

Over the years I have bought many portable recorders to take room recordings of loud rock'n'roll bands. The usual problem I have is distortion making the recording unlistenable, and this seems to be caused by drums and cymbals.
I used this in a 20ft square (ish) room with hard (laminate) floor and minimal soudproofing to record a band consisting of acoustic drums, vocals (through P.A.), electric bass and electric guitar. We measured the sound pressure level at approx 90dB and the recorder was placed at floor level in the middle of the room, using the onboard mics. I used the limiter as the 'clip' light was frequently firing (the manual does however state it can handle loads of up to 125 dB). What we got was a nice clear recording with no distortion or clipping notable through the session. The recorder also maintained good clarity through the quieter moments.
At the time of writing, it's £150 cheaper than the Zoom H4N (borrowed in the past), and in my opinion much easier to use and with comparable sound quality (for my purposes).

I use this or recording band rehearsals, very easy to set up and use. one greta feature is the peak control which prevents excessive clipping, this allows you to set a good high level without having to be too concerned about distortion.
its entirely possible to make reasonable sounding demos just using this device and balancing intruments in the room.
battery life is also very good.

Reliable and solid audio recorder
Bought this for audio recording indoors instead of Zoom H1. While nice recorder Zoom was a bit cheap looking and did not feel as solid. I did not like the menu system either. Read more

Quality product
Crisp recording and pocket sized. Provides almost 15hrs of 320kbps 48Khz from the 2Gb micro SD provided, which is good enough for broadcast.
