The Sayno Xacti

I have always been leery of those tiny little recorders that you see all over- most are used to record meetings and have no business recording live music. But, I've been wanting a portable option to record my performances so I could go back and listen, so sound quality wasn't paramount. I did some research and found one that was reasonably priced and met all of my needs; the Sayno Xacti.  With it, I could easily set sound levels and record both compressed MP3 files, as well as .WAV files all to a removable micro-SD card.  Using a coupon I had for Guitar Center, I took a trip to the local store and actually was able to get the unit for under $100! 

I first used it with Ill Funk on our 3rd annual tour of Cape Cod and was utterly shocked with the sound quality.  Setting it up at the back of the room of all three of our performances, the quality was so good, I'm actually putting together a live CD of our show at The Lost Dog Pub.  You can check out our version of Flashing Lights HERE and listen for yourself!
