Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Efficient Recording and Storage: RCA VR5220 512 MB Digital Voice Recorder (Black) by Shawn Price

Revainrating 5 out of 5

HIGH QUALITY SOUND AT A LOW COST

I was looking for an old fashioned tape recorder and found that they no longer make it. I've seen that digital technology now does what the old 1970's style did, but better, smaller and with a lot more options. I compared a few brands and the RCA somehow stood out as did the price not to lose sight of the compact size. I had to learn that first to understand how the functions work. I'm not a technician, but nobody has to be. It took me a few times to play around with the features and understand how they work. Granted, this or any digital voice recorder is as simple and six-button as it was in the 1970s. But by spending a little time experimenting with the features and actually reading through the brochure while using the features, you'll become a recording master. If you get it and get frustrated with many features, don't give up. All the features have a purpose, just like your new HD flat screen TV or cell phone and Blue Ray lol. You'll be glad you took the time; with sometimes track and error; Find out it's a good buy, doing exactly what you wanted and then some. Cons: The size is compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand or in a closed hand and won't be noticed or seen in larger hands, the price is great, the sound quality is excellent, especially if you download the recording to your computer and listen via a headset. . I find for better music recordings; if you put the recorder on several napkins or folded paper towels; You will get much better sound quality with this funny Shiss Shiss background sound lit. Don't turn the music up too loud as the recorder is close by and the sounds will reflect off the microphone and surroundings causing the funny "shhh" sound in the background. Try it out to get the best quality by making a demo with the original sound levels rotated by different degrees. Like me; You'll find the right level and say: ok, that's it, I've got it!
