Dragged the old Zoom recorder that my band once used out of a cupboard where it has been for around 15 years. Would something like this still be regarded as any use for making music on? I think it records in .WAV format. High enough quality?
I've been thinking about dabbling with music making again now kids have left home and there is space to set up some gear and leave it between sessions. Wondered if it would still be up to scratch or would be regarded as a joke nowadays.
The sliders are very scratchy and make random jumps in volume when moved. Might need cleaned? The hard drive seems a bit loud. Maybe it was always like that though, a slight whirr. Seems odd that a bit of recording equipment would produce any noise. I'm still trying out all the functions and trying to remember how it all works. It has an optical drive too, in a big slot...could this be replaced with a solid state drive?
