This is a quality recorder, sound play back is clear. I was using it for recording voice speaking, not singing. It is a bit more than I really needed, meaning more bells and whistles. I would recommend it for quality.

This is not a camera? This is a multi track MP3 recorder. Primarily used for music. I think an iPhone with a lot of memory would better suit your purposes. For video, pics, or just voice recordings

This is a good unit; i've used it for many, many hours, and it performs. That said, I always use it with external mic-in, and not with the onboard mics. I've tried those, they work, but my overall advice with what every you buy is this; try it before you go, and I mean thoroughly. Record, know how to adjust the record volume and then listen to it, under the conditions you bought it for. If you're going to edit it (say, with Audacity) and then distribute it by MP3, then actually go through those steps and know what you will get. Been there, done that, this is good advice.

If it were me, I would surely take one of these along. The microphones are very sensitive and it delivers high fidelity recordings and they aren't lying when they say it has a 7 hour battery life. The only thing it would need is a good carrying case. Bon Voyage.

It is a quality recorder, my only complaint is against the warranty department. They do not return phone calls or answer emails if you have a problem.

I use it to record music classes. It is outstanding. Parameters need to be turned on so sound isn't too faint nor too saturated. Outside lectures can be difficult for any device but this will do it about as well as anything. Upon getting this I would suggest recording a TV show in your home, radio blasting from your stereo and talking. Learn how to optimize the recorder for various environments and it will pay off on your trip with flawless recordings. If that sounds too complex then get TASCAM DR-40 which can be set to record everything twice. One is called a "safety track" at a lower level so you're sure to have something. Buy a bunch of SD cards and an external hard drive to back up your work. I use it to record music classes. It is outstanding.

There are numerous apps you can download for free that do voice recording. The sound quality will be about a 5 out of 10.

Mark; I think it would be excellent for recording. However, I found the manual to be difficult to understand for some functions. Perhaps the SR16 from Alesis would be a better choice if it has all the functions you need. It's been around for decades and has been very popular.

This was a gift that I totally researched on U-Tube. I bought 2010 x-mas. Son takes it on all vacations, beautiful for everything, never mentioned lighting problems. Check it out on u-tube, there are lots of videos about the recorder, they shoot it where you can actually see the results first hand. Maybe you will see a low light or night time video and they also take it out of the package and go over everything with you first. I found it the best deal and the best recorder without complaints, my son has it 4 years now.

Hello Rosa,If you need a compact Digital recorder I feel you cannot go wrong with the Sony icd-sx1000. It is functional not only for school,business,music and anything you would have to record on the move. Once you get the feel of using it,and the many applications it can be used for I am pretty sure you will be satisfied.This model is a jump ahead, in many way's,then the sx-712,i.e,features.A little more of a learning curve,but WELL worth it .This has been my experience, I am sure you will be satisfied.Good luck!

I received a Phillips digital recorder boxed with my version of Dragon speak 12.0. I have yet to use it, however and do not know if other digital recorders would be compatible but I assume so.

Try audacity its a recording software for Windows and Apple and if that doesn't help try Sound Record or Cakewalk

It really depends on a few things. A. What kind of quality do you want or need?B. What type of dialog? Ex: Audio book, film, vocal, podcast.If its just for verbal notes lecture recordings, there are cheaper priced recordings. Overall, I'm an independent film maker so I use it for field audio and also voice overs. Hope this helped.

Thank you to everyone who answered. All I am looking to do is digitize a voice recording from an old tape I have lying around and hopefully the headphone jack it has will be enough...all the best!

I'm not familiar with a "digital voice mini-recorder". Wish I could help, but can't.

I really can't answer that question because I have only had my DP-24 for about 6 months. But I can say for sure that it is a great recorder! Ron Jordan 3-20-2014

Hi, this Sony Compact Disc Player/Recorder, doesn't support recordings from a digital recorder. -Ely

It depends on the quality you want. The Samson Go Mic would be excellent for recording conversations (if you want to record to computer). There are portable voice recorders that are cheaper than the Zoom that should work just fine. It really depends on the quality you want.

I am not sure, but the sound quality is far, far better with the digital recorder. I would suggest that you spring for the digital.

No, it's not even worth recording, very limited. Hope you find a good one for monitoring at a reasonable price.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not looking for studio quality, but just good enough to re-enjoy concerts. I've been using a Sony MD recorder, which is remarkable as long as I keep the volume under control. I'd also use it for acoustic group demo/critical listening, so it'll probably do OK for that. If all else fails in the concert area, I can keep using the minidiscs.Thanks again,Jim
