A simple digital recorder for children?
Posted: December 4th, 2018, 3:23 pm
Can anybody recommend a handheld digital recorder that will be OK for a couple of nine year olds? They enjoy making up plots for their puppet theatre and recording silly/spooky noises, which they intersperse with bits of their own music (from piano, guitar, violin.) And so far they've done brilliantly with my old Sony cassette recorder. But it's dying now, sadly. Sic transit gloria mundi.
I have two digital recorders of my own, a Sharp and a Sony, and although they're both okay for recording memos, they're not very user-friendly because there just aren't enough control options. It can actually be quite hard to figure out exactly which recording you're listening to, and you don't get the option of fast-forwarding or patching in and overdubbing, Visual information on screen is pretty rubbish as well. Can anyone think of a better way?
FWIW, if there's a recording/editing suite that would fit onto a cheap tablet, that might also fit the bill. Thoughts?
TIA
