Desktop digital audio recorders marry the best parts of more professional recording devices with convenience, small size, and additional features. The Roland CD-2e is an updated version of the CD-2, a multiple input, audio CD burner with the added flexibility of being able to utilize flash memory in the form of SD cards.
Big brother to the popular PockeTrak 2G digital audio recorder the Yamaha PockeTrak CX packs the advantages of larger microphones, better quality recordings, and expandable memory.
A lot of portable digital audio recorders these days carry built in chromatic tuners and metronomes but in almost every case they are thrown in as an afterthought. They tend to be hard to read and difficult to customize, but not so with the Tascam PT-7. In the PT-7 the emphasis seems to have been placed squarely on the practice tools but unfortunately that also means that the audio recording quality seems almost to have been an afterthought.
The Tascam BB1000CD Portable CD/SD Recorder is a feature rich portable desktop audio recording device with built in microphones and excellent sound playback options.
For home, studio, or classroom use the Samson StudioDock 4i speakers provide excellent sound reproduction in a small package with plenty of power to fill a small room, but are they worth the price you have to pay?
