Yamaha Pocket Track 2G

This was a present for my birthday from my wife and I was expecting something quite limited like the Pansonic digital dictaphone I had been used to using previously. This unit has more useful functions and a great frequency response- also you can switch off the ALC ( AGC) - the internal mics were pleasantly good and I will try it the next time with a pair of DPA\'s through a small Mackie - just to see how far the mic quality affects the performance.
I recorded our rehearsal and then without need to refer to a manual - was able to transfer the files into the Steinberg AI-4 which come bundled with it - called up the Mastering Template and off I went - The guys were pleasantly surprised that all their chatter was edited out and with judicious use of EQ and Compression the rehearsal came out sounding not half bad- unfortunately the unit does not cover up playing mistakes :o)
I can thoroughly recommend this little marvel as its simplicity in use combined with its flexibility - will certainly make it easier to identify areas which need improving in your sessions.

Excellent solution

Very pleased with my purchase.
The sound quality is great and it\'s neat & compact. The way you plug straight into your laptop to transfer the audio is really handy.
Recommended.
Thanks to Dolphin for the great service - Oredered at 4pm Thursday and received it 9am Friday morning!!
