Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony ICD-UX71 Digital Voice Recorder with 1GB Flash MemoryCustomer Review: sony quality in a sleek package, ...the musician friend Summary: 5 Stars
I mainly bought this item to capture inspiration when it pass . I am a woodwind player ( flute, sax ) and compose many tunes as I practice each days. This unit record live music pretty well. I used to put it flat on a coffee table in the living room but faced upside down because it haves two (more) mics holes in the back . I also place it on a towel (my flute's polishing towel for example). This simple technique gives a warmer sound for the reflected room reverberations and give the direct sound a brighter feel in contrast.
The direct input for electronic recording of any sources is good also. when you listen to the recording process you hear all kinds of litle ''tickling glitchs'' but don't be effraid because they aren't present at all in the finished file. I think that these glitchs are actually limiter or compressor calculation that scale the amplitude as the signal pass through . The compression and limiting is way far smoother in this unit then with icd_bx700
Finally when it is time to write down the musical score of these files, the AB repeat button is a welcome addition. it is easy to activate, deactivate, change the gap time or location. It is even possible to use the ''time strech'' playback function to catch fast notes. This function is clear and pretty usable even at -20% wich is not always the case for computer base software that do the same function. This unit do this on the fly!!! I think that for this effect only (dpc speed control) or time stretch in audio eng. , the ICD-ux71 worth his price and that every musician should have one for hard passage practice and improvement. ...yes you could us this fuction with any mp3 downloaded via the computer link. You reduce the speed, you target the passage, and loop it on the go.
I have bought the Sony ECM-DS70P Electret Condenser Stereo Microphone to get a better overall frequency response. It deliver ! It is even too much sensitive at the lowest sensitivity setting ! . For a flute recording , I must be at 12 feets for a good recording without clipping. I could not record band or brass instruments with the Sony ECM-DS70P Electret Condenser Stereo Microphone ! or maybe yes but at 20 feets,... I guess!
for my usage , and in consideration of the price ,i'll throw five stars on it.
