The TASCAM DR-1 is a late entrant in the portable digital recorder field, but Tascam has taken the opportunity to pack it full of features! The built-in stereo microphones include a unique variable angle mechanism, so you can set it to record from any angle. The DR-1 is the first portable recorder to include a 1GB card, so you'll have plenty of CD or MP3-quality recording time for long rehearsals and concerts. Unique features such as overdubbing, a built in tuner and vocal cancelling technology set the DR-1 apart from other digital recorders.
It is a bit bigger than the R-09 or MicroTrack, but it also includes a user removable rechargeable li-on battery, so you can easily replace it should the need arise. (Anyone with an iPod that won't hold it's charge knows what I mean!
