<p>D needs to buy one for uploading prescreening recordings from her Mac. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.</p>

<p>We used the Zoom HD. Great sound, OK picture. </p>

<p>We used the Zoom H2, audio only. But that brand is very popular here on the CC music forum :)</p>

<p>Ditto the zoom recommendation. The bonus is that its a handy tool for a music student to have anyway.</p>

5

<p>Another Zoom vote. All students in my son’s studio are required to have them. They must record and watch their weekly lesson. </p>

<p>My daughter has a Zoom HD, which is what she uses for most of her audition recordings (but she is not a vocalist, she’s an instrumentalist.)</p>

<p>Zoom, here, too.</p>

<p>I agree. However we do not have a mac and I have found it a challenge converting files and we’ll be using our video camera with the sound man’s sound. But the zoom was super easy to record. </p>

<p>My daughter also uses the zoom. In terms of converting files, I subscribe/license a suite of applications (avs4you, I think) for a tiny amount of money and it includes video editing and conversion software. There are also free conversion programs available that probably work just fine. </p>

<p>Thanks! She got a Zoom H2. </p>

<p>Zoom is great. I used the one that has video recording capabilities as well. </p>

<p>Which Zoom do you use, Mezzo?</p>

<p>aww man…wish I had known about the zoom. I just used a video camera. :frowning: </p>
