Budget Voice Recorder for YouTube| Yemenren R5 Digital Voice Recorder Rev...
This recorder packs quite a punch! I buy budget recording equipment all the time, but until now I have always needed to use my phone to record interviews and ambient noise for my YouTube channel. Well, all it takes is one dead battery right before an interview to teach me my lesson. I needed a voice recorder and I needed one now. The biggest hurdle for me was cost and convenience. I needed something that I had a price point that was consumer friendly (Translation: Cheap) and convenient...meaning it has to easily be transferred to my computer.
The Yemenren did all I needed in spades. The quality of the recording is awesome! The VOR mode actually worked except when the voices are too similar, and playback sounded really good. And at the end of the day, these are the biggest promises a recorder needs to deliver on and it definitely does.
There are a couple of drawbacks. The first is that it lacks any audio inputs so you can't partner it up with a lapel mic. Second, the menu isn't as intuitive as I'd like and lastly and the worst offender is that, often times I had to change the file extension from .WAVA to .WAV in order to import it into my software which was a big nuisance.
For what I paid for my recorder I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I will certainly be buying other products from Yemenren in
