I needed a really nice quality portable audio recorder; one that I wouldn’t be ashamed to print right to CD. I did my homework on line like you’re doing now, and finally chose this Zoom H2. But when I got it out of the box and realized that not only could I get amazing quality stereo recordings from the built in mics (blew my friends minds when I handed them my headphones) but I could also record 4 track surround sound, because there are actually four mics in this thing, all angled for optimum imaging.
So I sat down and started reading the manual, only to be amazed that not only does this thing record, but it has multiple compressor and limited options, built in metronome and guitar tuner, ability to do all kinds of editing with your files like normalizing, dividing tracks, changing encoding formats, easy dump to computer and back to H2 via USB. The line in stereo recorder works amazingly… I recorded our band from my monitor mix and it actually sounded better than our album!
The only drawback, for me, is that I find the display a little hard to see. But I have some vision trouble to begin with, so you may not encounter this problem. One last thing… get a big memory card, like an 8 gig. I did a lot of recording out in nature this summer and when you play it back at home you would swear your standing in a grove of cedars with the birds chirping or by the shore of the lake with the waves lapping.
