Interesting post,
In my experience, the more components, the more headaches. Simple all-in-one units are widely available, inexpensive, and the microphones quality is light years beyond any leading smartphone manufacturer.
My friend used to bring his little Tascam DP-40 to practice, that thing is amazing and you can generally find it under a hundred dollars.
Also, if you are using the 3.5mm audio jack, DI boxes are primarily for Audio Out. You need to find a DI that uses a triple band TRS. The third band is your Mic in on the 3.5, and is actually not as common as you'd imagine.
C-sharp when you cross the street… or you’re going to B-flat.

Just saw this new Zoom product. I've already purchased a 2nd hand Tascam DP-008EX 8-Track Digital Multitrack Recorder - Bundle with 2X Tascam VL-S5 5" 2-Way Professional Studio Monitor (which I didn't notice until after I'd bought the Tascam!) but this Zoom h1n would have done the job as well. About $130 US and is capable of overdubbing. Certainly portable. https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/field-video-recording/field-recording/h1n-handy-recorder

Joyoshare Screen Recorder for Windows can be a good choice to record any onscreen videos and audios, which allows you to skip useless sections, cut recordings, highlight cursors, etc. in the way you like. Importantly, it supports any media files for video and audio. This was an old 2012 post rebooted by spam.

Like Herb (Guitarhacker) I recommend the small jump to the multitrack recorder like the full featured Tascam DP-24. Yes, all of the portable, battery units will provide you superior sound quality and they are intended to capture practices just like you need. But...
But reading your post it's clear you intend to advance to more complex tasks. You are better served to buy equipment that will grow with you as your tasks grow. You will not enjoy the limitations these portable units bring to your wants and needs until you've already spent the money. For you to get the same outstanding results you see in the product demo's recordings (which by the way are set up by sound engineer experts) you will have to use great care in where your musicians are placed in the room, you will have to eventually figure out what to do with the drums. Volume leveling will not be enough. Most groups end up recording the drums separately. The input configurations on some of the portable units can be very limited. They are essentially compromises to attempt to work efficiently in common situations only.
The 8 inputs of the DP-24 alone will be worth the cost difference. It will reverse the situation where your band has to set up and sometimes play to accommodate the recording device whereas with a multitrack, the recording device always accommodates the band. The DP-24 can also be used for your mixer. You can capture a live performance with each instrument panned, and leveled into a decent mix. The DP-24 can also accommodate importing multiple and individual BIAB RealTracks and midi renders to be used with your practices and recordings. You can capture each individual instrument with it's own input as the band plays together live rather than capture a live mix. That is much more suitable outcome because each instrument can be isolated for review.
A multitrack can capture those future recordings you will be using in your more advanced manner providing you the ability to have better than 'rough cut' demos from the start.
For capturing clean recorded tracks, a multitrack recorder will suit your needs and works just as effectively as any DAW. For the dollar investment, it is more than worth the difference you will gain in actual use over a portable, handheld, battery operated, fixed mic pattern recording device. At least I think so.

I have two of the Olympus Digital Voice Recorders and I am totally amazed at the recording quality even though the mic elements are a mere 3/4" apart. The elements are acoustically opposed and baffled to prevent cross-talk and bleed over. I've forgotten the exact model number but they were about US$ 80 each.
I live record an entertainer who plays here in my nursing home every month and he is very impressed with the record quality.
It yields about 24 hours recording time on 1 AAA Alkaline battery.
The default record format is .wma but .mp3 is an easy setting to change.
Mine do not have WIFI transfer capabilities, the new models do. Mine have a slide-out bayonet-style USB connector.

The post SabrinaYoung Sep 3rd 2018 is a spammer that was replying to mkamoski's original old 2012 post " seeking a good simple way to record practice sessions".

Tascam DR-05 for me also. I need something I can carry around in the car so if I get an idea I can sing it into the recorder, or speak the lyrics, whatever the case. Simple to use, easy file transfer to the computer. Best $100 ever.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
