The Zoom is a different sort of thing really as it will only record things all together. So it's useful for practice etc (eg we had a practice on saturday for an upcoming gig and I recorded 17 songs which I will then burn to CD so as each of us can practice our bits in our own time) but you'd be hard pressed to record two vocals, two fiddles, guitar and bass and get it perfectly in balance with no background noise etc

As I write this I'm listening to a track from it and while it is recorded at CD quality it's not the quality you would expect to find on a CD if that makes any sense at all! Especially when the dog came in...
