Attending to a music performance of our favorite band/musician is memorable to us. And it is common for us, as a fan, to record the memory and situation with a recording device. But not all devices can offer the best result when it comes to a live music performance. Learn the appropriate gadgets below.
Zoom H4N
Zoom ranks first in the list portable devices. It is handy and light enough to hold and can record up to 32 GB files in both WAV and MP3 formats. And unlike its predecessors, Zoom HN4 has been equipped with a screen to make the navigation between menus easier.
H4N will give you the best result of recorded live audio. Its mics can be arranged by forming either a 90-degree or 120-degree angle to control the dimension of the sound. The wider the angle of the mics is, the roomier the sound will get. This feature is very useful when you want to record an indoor live performance of a musician or bands that play detail arrangement, such as roger waters the wall 2012.

iPhone
The two devices above are great on their own, but the iPhone still outranks them. With an iPhone, you do not need to have a separate device to record the live performance of your favorite band. The default setting allows you take an audio file from the voice recording app. But if you want to go professional, paid apps like iTalk Recorder Premium and Studio Mini is more than enough.
