Guest Young Adolesent Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 hi people, i volunteer every weekend with people with dementia for a charity called the VSA. now one of the people there is a musician but to be honest his dementia is getting worse. so before he gets worse i would like to record him singing, playing guitar and accordion as a memory for him, as i don't own my studio anymore. plus hes not allowed to leave the building i was wondering if anyone would be able to lend me a recorder for the weekend and a mic, doesn't have to be something special but as long as it does the job. this would be really appreciated as id be forever in your debt. its only needed for two days and i promise it will comeback in the same condition it left in. if needed. will collect on the Saturday, return it the same night. collect on the Sunday and return it on the same night 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Have a test and see if your laptop in-build mic is any good? I've used mine for dodgy demos before and it's held up OK. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathew09 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 you could borrow the ux1 I bought off you? Would mean lugging your desktop into work though? Maybe you're after a portable recorded, in which case I can't help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Young Adolesent Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks for the offer but my desktop isnt capeable of handling the ux1 too many latency issues and takes too long to install etc but yes something portable would be a massive help. But the way its looking anyway. Im lugging my vox amp which aint light plus two guitars anyway. Anyway id probs have to borrows instrument mics and normal mics. As were thinking about doing a staff track aswell for the fun of it to put on the cd for the guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I have a Belkin four-track recorder that records directly to an iPod if this is any use to you? http://www.belkin.com/TuneStudio/ Does it have to be this weekend particularly? Getting it to you will be a struggle if so as I'm busy this week and away for the weekend from Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
