If you are thinking of buying a digital recorder of are interested in knowing more about the Voice Tracer then you should watch this video. The Voice Tracer was provided to me to do the unboxing and review however I have remained honest and impartial in my review. Unfortunately I wanted to try recording live music and other interesting things but because of the Corona virus everyone is grounded and I had to make do with what was available around my house.

I have a Philips DVT5000 that served me extremely well, but its had it’s fair share of use and abuse so I am looking at a replacement. Looked at the Zoom H1N, but it is underwhelming. Then I looked at the DVT6110 and it looked impressive. After seeing your video my mind was made up, I placed an order for my new DVT6110. Can’t wait!!! Thank you for your effort with this video, really appreciated.

Comprehensive review thanks for doing that. I've been unable to find this particular model in Australian retailers however there is a DVT4110 which in principle is missing the PCM96kHz 24bit recording sample and the "video" audio scene. for my purpose I can live with that and about 30% less on the ticket price. In any case great review. Thanks.

@@guitar-academy Discovered the model is available here in Aus as DVT6110, the only difference I can make out is the higher quality sound recording and the additional audio scene in library which no doubt makes use of the higher quality recording codec. Again thanks for great review I'm off to buy one tomorrow.

The Voice Tracer looks incredible durable compared to the other product, and as you mentioned the voice teacher has a high degree of treble! But the speaker configuration appears to be spot on just in need of some fine tuning! In the zoom mode it’s rather impressive to say the least.

@guitar-academy 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and commenting . . . 😊 Yes agreed, if it had a bit more bass and the zoom picked up less surrounding sound it be pretty much perfect, but because of mobile phones, I think year on year small microphone technology is improving rapidly. . .

Hi I don't see a lot of comparison of Zoom H1n and Voice Tracer DVT6110. Could you give me some recommendations? Would love to hear your opinion :)

@guitar-academy 11 ай бұрын

Good question I can only give you my thoughts, and since I made this video they have made a lot of improvements to the Zoom . . The fist thing is the fact the Sony is rechargeable and the zoom takes batteries. But you could always put rechargeable batteries in the zoom if you want. The zoom is a really good price and the quality for the price is outstanding, I think I personally prefer the zoom, but the Philips is still good. 😊

After this great review, i decided to buy this recorder. I'm not an expert about audio but i feel like my voice tone is too high, not enough bass, and i don't feel the same when you record your voice. Also i feel this Phillips is too sensitive, even when I pronounce carefully , my plosives still make the recorder saturate. As you mentioned you own several digital recorders, do you think the same as me, is it this recorder in particular or it's more or less the same with other brands? Thanks in advance.

@guitar-academy Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing! 😊😃 This recorder sits in the middle ground quality wise. It has more bass than the Zoom H1n and about the same as the Zoom H2n but less than the Zoom H4n. On all these units the inbuilt speakers aren't that good so you can only really hear the quality of the recordings using better speakers. You can improve the sound quality using editing software, but none of the mobile solutions I have tried beats a studio mic (even a cheap one). Let me know if you find a really good mobile recorder without braking the bank 😊

@alexmonastier1872 Жыл бұрын

@@guitar-academy Thank you very much for your answer. I hesitated to buy a sony ux570 or a tx660 but if you tell me that all have more or less the same audio quality, maybe i should just keep this one and try to improve the audio quality using editing software, just as you suggested. People that upload videos with these recorders probably edited their audio files and that's why i think they are better than this one 🙂

@guitar-academy Жыл бұрын

@@alexmonastier1872 Yes, if you use the highest quality and tidy the recording up with software you can get really good results. I use mine with a parabolic mic now for recording nature sounds when I use a telephoto lens on my camera, it works really well and it's small and takes some knocking about. 😊

with the philips voicetracer - there is software to transcribe speech to text. does zoomh1 come with something similar?

Sadly the Philips software doesn't actually come with it as it is cloud based, so you use it through a browser. The Zoom has no option like this, but there are lots of cloud or app solutions for this job. You'd probably be wise looking for reviews of voice to text software to get the best solution at the right price. Sorry, I have no idea which solution is best. 🤔
