Hello Patty and Chuck,<br />
Thank you for expressing interest in a live music recording system for your students.<br />
The best source of products (& informative reviews) and recording tips resides on my web site listed below.<br />
Many with similar interests in student music recording and making CDs of live acoustic performances are using the <strong>DSM</strong>-6S/EH and<br />
<strong>DSM</strong>-6S/H model microphones with a portable Sony PCM-M1 DAT recorder ($800). This combo costs $1250-$1350<br />
Alternately, the Sharp portable MD-MS722 MiniDisc ($295) is useful as a lower cost good quality recorder, but the MD recordings<br />
must be played back over a non-portable MD deck ($250-$350) with having the necessary digital outputs; none of the MD portables<br />
have these needed digital outputs, only line-headphone.<br />
The LiteGUY baffle accessory ($475) that mounts the <strong>DSM</strong> mics (instead of person head mounting) offers flexible and closer on-stage<br />
positioning for use during a live audience attended performance. Person worn <strong>DSM</strong> microphones can be used during live<br />
performance in the first seating positions, but this is a compromise to getting a more professional sounding recording that usually<br />
needs closer positioning with small groups of less than 10 performers in a too live or echoey room/hall.<br />
The Sony RM-D100K digital interface accessory ($200) allows the PCM-M1 DAT tape recordings to be digitally outputted to<br />
computer .wave file or directly to any stand-alone type CD burner. I'd suggest eventually using a computer with audio processing<br />
software (like Cool Edit Pro by Syntrillium for Win95/98) to add a little dynamic compression when editing the transferred sound files<br />
(as .wav files) for better sounding playback (more like commercial music) over common low powered portable, ado, and home stereo<br />
systems.
