My Tascam Dr-44 stopped working. So, I just started using GarageBand with my ipad and iphone. I have good mics.
I like the way it sounds, the reverb and compressor is just perfect for what I record -- acoustic guitar and vocal, and later possibly overdub mandolin, bass, etc.
But, I like to record an hour or so straight and Garageband for ios stops at 640 measures (you can't even use a timer) which is less than 30 minutes or so.
So, I have to try something else. This is a good thread.
I will admit Garageband sounds really good for my application, it just doesn't record long enough. I've used Sonar and Reaper on PCs, but I'm simplifying life now, and that is way more power than I need. I'm old school having started with 4 track cassettes.
I've used a lot of digital recorders and DAWs. Despite what the experts say, they do sound different and I'm not sure it's just the preamps and converters.
