OK re the DR-05X. Getting stuff off the recorder has been a little more challenging on Linux than I thought it might be. So far, I haven't managed to get the computer to recognise the card. Mr Z had a go as well as he thinks at some stage he must have solved this problem. However, we finally plugged it into the input socket and fed it through to Audacity. I'm going to have to play around to find the optimum recording volume so that this works well. I was hoping that Linux would read the card and that would be that but so far that hasn't happened.
I'll play about some more in due course and report back for anyone who is interested. I'm assuming on the Mac or Windows, it would all be seamless.

keff - Thanks! That looks really useful. I'd agree about the advice BTW! The manual is very basic. I have to say I'm pleased with what I've done with the recording so far. It's been interesting to listen to my playing. It isn't worse than I was expecting which is reassuring. I haven't really played at all seriously or constructively for many, many months. So, it's been useful from that perspective.

Actually, that's very useful and very reassuring! Thanks again!
If anyone is on Linux and struggling with getting the files off the recorder then you can of course just remove the card and stick it into a card reader! That works perfectly. I wanted to avoid that if I could because those cards are so weensy!

All I have is a Zoom H2N. I do not get on at all well with recording technology, and that thing basically does all the work for me.

I haven't used the Tascam for so long I'd forgotten how it worked so a lot of messing about. I 'recorded' a one-off piece which was all leapy and I thought it might be nice for 29th... It went really well. I was smug. Then I tried playing back and realized I hadn't actually recorded it... sigh... I did another take and it was all ghastly and useless... I began to wonder if the non-recoded one was basking under the halo effect...

Commiserations Zi. What is the significance of the 29th?

Commiserations Zi. What is the significance of the 29th? Leap year! 29th Feb... hence the 'leapy' music... I don't mind fiddling with things. I don't even mind that I appear to have forgotten how it worked! The quality of the recording is really good but I do wonder if I should have chosen something more Linux friendly...

Leap year! 29th Feb... hence the 'leapy' music... I was fixated on January! I had been fixated on the 29th Feb earlier this morning when the thought came to me that we have to work an extra day for the same pay in February...then I remembered I was retired.
