Re: Portable recorder or usb mic?  (reply)
Yes, the Zoom handheld recorders (all of them) are "plasticy" and "noisy" when compared to other setups. But they are cheap (very cheap) and are quite functional. Overall, they are a good compromise at their price points.

I also have a very reliable, very portable Zoom H2.  I use it for home recording (personal archive)and it has traveled with me to several old-time music festivals.

Re: Portable recorder or usb mic?  (reply)
I've gotten so much use out of my "old" Zoom H2 I can't imagine not having one of those. It would be my first choice, unless you really want to start recording directly into an app like GarageBand or Reaper (aka "DAW").

Re: Gibson Brands  (reply)
You mean like "pre-CBS Fender" sort of thing, Mike? I wouldn't be surprised, but doubt whether "pre-Gibson Onkyo" will gain much credibility! Maybe CFM will follow Gibson's lead and re-brand itself as "Martin Products"... Kev

Hi Frosty, Sorry that you are having problems like this. The pure mini's still have the same beautiful sound they have always had... so the most likely problem is a result of the install, however we(here at K&K Sound) would love to...
