On the road, I'd go for something iPad-based. You'd then potentially be able to export/save projects to be opened later on your main rig at home. I use Cubase Pro in my home studio and track/edit/sketch remotely using Cubase Elements. Cubasis for iPad works the same way.

I've had a bunch of digital recorders from 24 tracks on down. I've had some nice handhelds -- like the Sony PCM D-50, some zooms, etc.
Right now, I use a Tascam 44wl that records at 24 or 16 bits and has phantom power. The onboard preamps are very usable, although I usually record with an external pre-amp and mics. What I really like about it is that you can overdub. It has a reverb that is actually quite nice and usable that adds a nice sheen to recordings. I like to record guitar and vocal, add another guitar part or mandolin, and bass. It sounds very good, even considering my "performance." Don't really like messing with computers if i can avoid it. |

I can't recommend the ZoomH5 enough. I have a Zoom H5 and it is the most portable, easy to use and versatile little gadget I've ever owned and imo the best Zoom recorder yet. Built in stereo xy mics, plus 2 xlr inputs, records in mp3 and wave, multitrack.
It's exactly what I want and need. I also have a small interface, condensors, stands, cables, computer/DAW but I've used it once in the 18 months I've owned it. The Zoom takes 2 AA batteries and you're away. I've had it 1 week and I've recorded 5 completed tracks, and 4 original works in progress. It just allows me to record when i want to. Might not be for you op but give them a look perhaps. |

I wish someone would come out with a portable recorder that had a moderately decent speaker built in, so I don't need to listen through headphones, especially while capturing ideas.

This unit was developed mainly for musicians and music teachers. Because it has speakers, it is too large to be handheld. It is about the size of a book, so I don't think it would fit the criteria being discussed here. It is also expensive, but does a really nice job at what it was built for. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CD2Urec Tony

Since it connects via a small 1/8" stereo cable OR Bluetooth I often start a podcast on my laptop and just carry the D100 into the kitchen to listen. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-D100.../dp/B003N9SR00 |
