Dear collective experience,
while we're at it: I finally have some small budget to buy a recording device. What I want: * use it at home to record lute music and other instruments (* use it as a usb mic) * take it with me and record in the park or pub or wherever a session might come along * I have linux, so at least it should be possible to extract the files without removing the SD card So far, the Zoom H2n seems like the best option. Some people say the noise is quite high, others don't. (Samples from youtube with guitar seem ok, but not really sparkling - I know, this is not a replacement big membrane studio mic, but still...) In Germany, the Zoom is available for around 150 Eurobucks. What are the alternatives? (and keep in mind that it should be available in Germany...) Thanks!
