The wireless remote control makes recording practice sessions much more convenient. You can position the Yamaha Pocketrak W24 Portable Digital Recorderat the optimum recording location and operate it from your playing position, so you can record and listen over and over without having to move.  The microphone on a pocket recorder is extremely important in determining sound quality, and the sensitivity and coverage of this X-Y dual mic assembly are truly superior. It takes full advantage of the recorder's 24bit/96kHz resolution.

The W24 far outdistances the competition with up to 38 hours of PCM recording and 56 hours of MP3 recording from a single alkaline AA battery. Now you can concentrate on the music, not the battery. The W24 has a built-in 2GB flash memory, providing 3 hours of PCM recording time (MP3: 13.5 hours). Using the optional 2GB microSD memory card doubles this amount. You can also use higher capacity cards.

When bands or orchestras hit high volume peaks, recording quality can suffer. The W24's peak limiter instantly detects these high levels to prevent overload and distortion. Yamaha worked with musicians in studios to ensure that the limiter function is optimized for music recording.  You can use the Scene function to memorize the settings for a variety of recording situations, such as choir practice or interviews, and assign names to them. Then each time you want to use a certain setting, you can recall it instantly.

The built-in speaker provides a quick and convenient way to check your recordings.  When the group is ready to start, no one wants to wait for the recorder. With the Yamaha Pocketrak W24 Portable Digital Recorder, recording can begin just 4.5 seconds after pressing the power button.  Tuner and metronome are built-in for added convenience.
