இ Fuzzy Wuzzy's Summary:ѾѾѾѾѾ Highly recommended with warm fuzzies!
I work in high tech and I am also a musician who plays guitars, harmonica, and world-beat/ethnic percussion. So I find portable digital recorders like this to be highly useful on a weekly basis for recording everything from personal dictation of thoughts and ideas, to in-person meetings, to telephone conferences, to jam sessions with my other musician friends, to recording impromptu music ideas and vocals.
Prior to purchasing this Sony ICD-SX750, I frequently used a Sony MZ-NF810CK Net MD MiniDisc Recorder with Car Kit with a Sony ECM-DS70P Electret Condenser Stereo Microphone for recording music ideas, jam sessions, and rehearsals. Sony's MZ-NF810CK Net MD MiniDisc recorder offered CD-quality digital recording with a full 20Hz-20,000Hz +/-3dB frequency range, along with an AM/FM/TV/Weather tuner. But for years, my one big complaint with Sony's Net MD MiniDisc was that the device had no 'Line Out' or easy method to transfer my digital recordings off of its Mini Disc so that I could perform further editing on the computer. The Net MD has an optical 'Line In' so I could seamlessly transfer music from a CD player into the Net MD recorder for recording onto its Mini Discs, and it has a USB port that ONLY allowed the one-way transfer of music from my computer to the Net MD recorder, but I could not transfer recordings from the Net MD back to my computer through this USB connection. Sony essentially purposely handicapped their Net MD recorder to keep me quarantined within the Mini Disc format; I could transfer music onto it, but I could not transfer its flawlessly recorded digital recordings back to my computer in digital form. So I had to connect the Net MD recorder's headphone output to the microphone input of my computer's sound card in order to transfer the Net MD recordings to my computer, thereby diluting the benefits of the digital recording by transferring the signal to my computer in analog form.
With the advent of affordable digital recorders that use onboard flash memory and/or Memory Stick Micro (M2) and microSD memory cards, I find myself using my Net MD recorder less and less now. Note that the Sony line of 'ICD' recorders are NOT really professional digital audio recorder for recording full-spectrum music, but this ICD-SX750 can still produce a very good CD-quality stereo recording for most kinds of music. Using its best LPCM 44.1 kHz 16-bit recording mode, the ICD-SX750 records a frequency range of 50Hz-20kHz. Depending upon the music that you are wanting to record this may or may not be sufficient since a dedicated digital audio recorder will go down to 20 Hz. If you really want a digital audio recorder for music applications, I would highly recommend either the Sony PCM-M10/R Portable Linear PCM Recorder, 96 kHz/24-bit, 4GB Memory & USB High-Speed Port, Glossy Red, the Zoom H4n Handy Portable Digital Recorder, both of which will record a pristine 20Hz to 20,000+ Hz frequency range at 96 kHz 24-bit recording mode, or one of the Tascam portable digital recorders. Sony's 'ICD' recorder line is more optimized for recording voice (dictation, interviews, meetings), but it does a very respectable job of recording music. There is not much musical content that goes below the 50Hz sub-bass low end that this ICD-SX750 can record: the low fundamentals of a bass tuba, and the fundamentals of a contrabassoon, harp, double bass, pipe organ, piano.

More of the ICD-SX750's features are itemized and described below:
ѾѾѾѾѾ Excellent 5-fuzzies feature ratings:
ѾѾѾѾѾ The recorded sound quality is excellent with crystal-clear sound clarity, both in its mono/directional mode and in stereo mode. Stereo recordings have excellent three-dimensional spatial imaging. And when the recording level is set to 'S-HIGH' microphone sensitivity, the recorded speech of a distant speaker in a large auditorium is excellent.
ѾѾѾѾѾ This voice recorder has lots of features with a great deal of usefulness! Do not feel apprehensive about feeling like you need to read all of this recorder's 135-page 'Operating Instructions' guide. You do not need to read all the pages to begin using this recorder effectively. For quick ease of use, you just need to read/skim the first 40 pages, and also read the one later page on how to erase recorded messages. If you will mainly use the recorder for one, two, or three main purposes (e.g. dictation, group meetings, and music recording), you just need to familiarize yourself with a handful of the recorder's options for adjusting its recording parameters to suit each situation. For example, I mainly use my recorder for the following purposes: personal dictation with speech-to-text conversion using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 11, recording work-related phone calls, recording a group meeting, and recording musical performances either by me with friends or by others in a music rehearsal setting.
Setup is pretty simple. The recorder comes with two AAA alkaline batteries. I can also use my own rechargeable AAA batteries. When used with rechargeable batteries, the batteries will recharge whenever I connect the recorder to my computer using the supplied Mini-USB-to-USB cable. Alternately, I can use the USB cord to connect the recorder to a separately-purchased AC adapter, e.g. Belkin Mini Surge Protector Dual USB Charger or Sony's own Sony AC U50AD - Power adapter. Rechargeable batteries take about 4 hours to fully recharge from an empty state. However, with the recorder connected via USB to a turned-on computer or to an AC adapter, I can charge the batteries while still using the recorder, which is very handy for very long recording sessions.
The ICD-SX750 can record in the following formats, listed with their approximate hours of recording time listed for using both fully-charged alkaline and rechargeable batteries, the maximum recording time that can be stored by the internal 2-GB flash memory, and the frequency range that is recorded:
LPCM 44/16 : 25 hrs alkaline, 19 hrs rechargeable; 3 hours 10 minutes; 50-20,000 Hz
LPCM 22/16 : 23 hrs alkaline, 17 hrs rechargeable; 6 hours 25 minutes; 50-10,000 Hz
MP3 192k : 22 hrs alkaline, 17 hrs rechargeable; 23 hours 35 minutes; 50-16,000 Hz
MP3 128k : 22 hrs alkaline, 17 hrs rechargeable; 35 hours 25 minutes; 50-16,000 Hz
MP3 48k : 25 hrs alkaline, 19 hrs rechargeable; 94 hours 40 minutes; 50-14,000 Hz
LPEC STHQ : 18 hrs alkaline, 14 hrs rechargeable; 34 hours 55 minutes; 50-20,000 Hz
LPEC ST : 20 hrs alkaline, 15 hrs rechargeable; 92 hours 15 minutes; 50-16,500 Hz
LPEC STLP : 22 hrs alkaline, 17 hrs rechargeable; 177 hours 40 minutes; 50-7,000 Hz
LPEC SP : 22 hrs alkaline, 17 hrs rechargeable; 281 hours 20 minutes; 50-6,000 Hz
LPEC LP : 26 hrs alkaline, 19 hrs rechargeable; 750 hours 15 minutes; 50-3,500 Hz
Note that this also means a fresh set of alkaline batteries will often provide significantly longer recording time than rechargeable batteries. This is especially true for rechargeable batteries that have been repeatedly recharged over a long period of time. Overall, this recorder has very good battery life.
After inserting the batteries, I set the date and time, select the English/Spanish/French language option, and then I am ready to go!
There are basically three recording parameters that you need to think about in order to use this recorder effectively: the recording format mode, the recording level microphone sensitivity, and whether to record in mono/directional or stereo mode. All of the recorder's other features can be investigated later.
For dictation with the intent of converting speech to text using Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition software, when directly interviewing one person, and also when recording from a speakerphone, I set 'REC MODE' to 'LPEC STHQ', 'REC LEVEL' to 'LOW', and slide the 'DIRECTNL' switch to 'ON (mono)'. The recorder has a two stereo microphones and a mono/directional microphone located in between the two stereo microphones.
For recording a meeting room full of people, I slide the 'DIRECTNL' switch to 'OFF' for stereo recording (which has a cardioid-like microphone response), and set the 'LCF (Low Cut Filter)' to 'ON' to cut out frequencies below 200 HZ (e.g. room ventilation, machinery humming, wind). There is also a separate 'NOISE CUT' slider switch that can be used during playback of the recording to cut out both high and low frequencies, thereby focusing more on the midrange frequencies of human voices.
To record a live music performance, I like to set 'REC MODE' to 'LPCM 44/16' (which is 44.1 kHz/16-bit CD-quality sound), with a 'REC LEVEL' set to either 'MUSIC' or 'MANUAL' if I want to manually adjust the recording level (along with using its 'LIMITER' option to prevent distortion due to sound bursts being too loud).
Even though Sony advertises that this recorder has a metal chassis with a 'Noise Reduction Finish', and its microphones are supposedly decoupled from the main recorder body, you really should have all of your recording parameters already thought out and set up before you begin recording as various movements of the recorder's switches, pressing of buttons to access and change various recording menu functions (via the backlit LCD screen), or sliding of your fingers across the unit will get included in the recording, even if the microphone sensitivity is set to 'LOW'. Ideally, have the recorder fully set up before the recording, and use the included stand to prop up the microphone. Unless the situation warrants it (e.g. interviewing someone while standing up), try to avoid holding or adjusting the recorder once the recording has started.
Instead of a slider switch that is labeled 'On/Off', the on/off switch on this recorder is labeled 'HOLD' because it does more than just turn the unit on or off. I can slide the switch to 'HOLD' to hold it in whatever operation mode I am using (play, stop, pause, record). When the record is on 'HOLD' during a certain operation, I cannot accidentally interrupt that function when I carry the recorder around or hold it in my hand. So this 'HOLD' slider turns the unit off when it is not recording, paused, or playing back, and it protects me from inadvertently pressing the 'pause' or 'stop' button during an extended recording session.
The recorder also has a voice-operated recording function, which starts recording when sound is detected, and pauses when no sound is heard, so recording halts during silent periods.
I can press a 'DIVIDE' button to dynamically divide a recording into separate messages. I can also combine/add or overwrite sections of messages and recordings.
I can connect an external stereo microphone or external equipment such as a CD player to record from those sources.
The recordings can be played back either through the headphone jack or through the recorder's built-in speaker.
One playback function that I use a lot is the 'Digital Pitch Control'. This allows me to change the playback speed between 200% and -75% of a recording's normal speed. When I am learning a really complex guitar riff that I recorded from a live rehearsal, I can slow down the recording to learn from it and practice along with it at a slower pace, and even at the maximum '-75%' slowdown in tempo, the pitch is not changed, which is awesome for music applications. And for a lecture where the speaker is talkiinnngggg reaaallllyy slow, I can speed it up without having the speaker sound like a Chipmunk.
Another cool playback feature, useful for lecture, seminar, and crowd environments is the 'Digital Voice Up' (V-UP). This function boosts and amplifies the low-level sounds in the recording, great for hearing low voices that were recorded from a distance out of range or away from the direction of the microphone. If you are recording in a spacious auditorium where you are seated towards the rear, you can set the 'REC LEVEL' to 'S-HIGH' to record a sound located far away from the recorder or a low sound. And then if you still need additional volume from the low-level sound, during playback of this recording, you can use the 'Digital Voice Up' function.
The recorder has an alarm clock function to play back a recording at a specific date and time.
For the five LPEC recording formats (STHQ, ST, STLP, SP, LP), I can add a bookmark during playback of a recording. I can also assign a 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star 'priority' ranking to LPEC recordings. LPEC is a compressed-sound format that is proprietary to Sony. To convert the LPEC format to a standard MP3 or WAV format, I use the 'Digital Voice Editor' software that is included with this recorder.
When I plug the recorder into my computer using the supplied USB cord, the device looks like a 2-GB flash drive, with various folders containing the .MSV (Sony's Memory Stick Voice file format for their LPEC recording format), .WAV (for LPCM recordings), or .MP3 files. In fact, I can use the recorder's flash memory simply as a USB flash drive to store text files onto it if I wanted to. If my recordings are MP3 or LPCM (WAV) formats, I can just drag-and-drop the files from the recorder's folders onto my computer's hard drive.
If I recorded in any of the five LPEC formats, which outputs Sony's proprietary .MSV file format, I use the supplied 'Digital Voice Editor' software which will transfer the files from the recorder onto my computer, and save them into another more-portable format such as .WAV or .MP3.
Using the 'Digital Voice Editor' software, I can also access the same editing and playback functions that are on the recorder itself, such as dividing a recording into pieces or using the 'Digital Pitch Control'. With Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition software installed, I can also start the transcribing of a recorded speech file from within 'Digital Voice Editor'. I select the recorded speech file that I want to transcribe, select the 'Voice Recognition' menu option, Dragon converts the recording into text, and I make corrections in the pop-up 'DragonPad' Notepad-like text editor to both correct the transcription mistakes that Dragon made and to further (hopefully) train Dragon to learn and adapt from the corrected mistakes. 'Digital Voice Editor' also has a rudimentary CD-burning function that lets me create an audio or data CD from the recorder's files.
While the Windows-only 'Digital Voice Editor' provides support for the voice recorder's functions, along with LPEC file conversion, the included Windows-only 'Sound Forge Audio Studio 9 LE' is entirely geared towards music editing and production. This 'LE' version is the 'lite edition' of Sony's industry-standard two-channel audio-editing program for Windows, with some useful extras thrown in, and a nice $60+ package if you were to buy this software separately. With Sound Forge Audio Studio, I can perform a variety of digital audio editing functions: I can save and convert in a large variety of formats, change the sample rate and bit depth; I can edit, cut, paste, fade-in/out; I can set markers and regions within a recording. I can apply frequency equalization adjustments, swap channels, and even play the audio in reverse. The 'LE' version comes with 11 sound processing effects that I can apply to the audio such as chorus, delay, reverb, wah-wah, and distortion. There is also a 'Vocal Eraser' plug-in from iZotope, which tries to remove the lead vocal from the mix to make a karaoke version of a song; this works with varying degrees of effectiveness, depending upon the accompanying music. I can archive vinyl recordings and use its 'Vinyl Restoration' noise reduction and 'Audio Restoration' features to adjust the amount of clean-up of clicks and pops and unwanted hiss. Although this software does not offer true multi-track mixing, it does allow me to mix external audio tracks into a recording. The CD also comes with 1001 sound effects .WAV files that can be mixed into recordings. And although this is not a video editing tool, I can edit audio files and then attach them to video files. I import the video file, and then edit the soundtrack by scrubbing, as if I had a jog/shuttle control, using the [J], [K], [L] keys on your keyboard to reverse, pause, or forward the playback. When I am finished with my audio editing, I can then burn a CD from the application, or I can also extract audio tracks from a CD for use within the application.
Note that neither the included 'Digital Voice Editor' nor the 'Sound Forge Audio Studio' are Mac-compatible.
ѾѾѾѾ Good 4-fuzzies feature ratings:
ѾѾѾѾ The voice recorder comes with a stand. You push the recorder into the stand's plastic clip holder that securely holds the recorder in place, and when you swing its metal wire leg out, it props the recorder up so that its microphone points upward at a 45-degree angle. The stand also has a standard 1/4' tripod threaded mount. While the stand, by itself, is perfect for propping the recorder on a desk or table, I sometimes use the recorder with its stand threaded onto a Joby GP1-E1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey). With the GorillaPod flexible tripod, there are no limits to where I can mount the recorder from (e.g. the top of a chair, a tree branch, etc).
ѾѾѾѾ The voice recorder comes with a foam wind screen that you wrap entirely over the microphone end of the recorder when using it outdoors to reduce wind noise. Over time, with repeated usage, the foam starts to fit more loosely and not wrap around the microphone as tightly. To remedy this, I just carry some small rubber bands with my wind screen (like the 1-inch diameter rubber bands used to bundle green onions in a grocery store), and lightly wrap a rubber band around the open edge of the wind screen to hold it onto the microphone more securely.
ѾѾѾ Average not-good not-bad 3-fuzzies feature ratings:
ѾѾѾ The voice recorder comes with a soft carrying pouch sleeve. Even though this pouch is soft and its half-open sleeve edge makes it easy to insert and remove the voice recorder, I want a carrying case that offers more protection. And if you keep the tilt-stand attached to the recorder and insert it into the carrying pouch, it ends up being an even tighter fit. I sometimes pack this recorder, stored inside its carrying pouch, in a variety of other bags and cases such as laptop bags, guitar cases, backpacks, and carry-on luggage, and it would be nice to enclose the device inside something more fully enclosed and padded. The included soft carrying pouch is great for carrying the recorder in a shirt pocket or an interior coat pocket. But whenever I have my voice recorder packed amongst other heavy items, I store it now in a PSP Go Soft Carrying Case. The extra room inside this PSP carrying case, originally designed for Sony's PlayStation Portable, also allows me to carry the other accessories like the voice recorder stand, foam wind screen, ear buds, USB cord, and extra AAA batteries. And that carrying case has a Velcro-attached belt loop on the back so you can carry your recorder on your belt, or strap it onto the outside of your backpack or laptop bag.
௫ Fuzzy Wuzzy's Conclusion:
Overall, this is one of the best digital voice recorders on the market right now, and I happily give this a warm and fuzzy 5-star rating for this recorder!
