whats good for field recording??

hi y'all

im looking to get me something that i can use to record stuff when im out, you know dogs barking, sirens blaring girls screaming whatever...

cound quality needs to be good but not priostine... mp3 would be fine. but some of these machines have really crappy internal mics.

anyone know of a good lil gadget for this??

thanks

the sp404 has a good mic, and you can even make a beat while ur out...hehe

minidisk recorder and a mic is a good combo..

if you have an ipod, there's a recorder that hooks up to it directly, and you record random sounds and stuff...check out www.audiolines.com for that

i know there ar emore, but that's all i can think of rite now...

peace

M-audio microtrack or Edirol R-1

I use a sony mini disk and a sony stereo mini Mic sounds great good for bootleggin concerts tooo

all of the above work, 404 is dope cause u got all the dope effects plus pattern sequencer, but the minidisc/mp3/digital recorder is dope cause their small and can be easily conceeled when ure tryin to record some audio(conversation, street music) and dont wanna make it too obvious, i try to keep my 404 in my bag most of the time , never end up gettin much cause its so big and obvious but i just love that thing . minidisc or mp3 recorder is probably best

There is another unit that seems to work o.k. called the "I-RIVER". Records mp3's high quality.
My favorite is my Sharp MiniDisk with a Sony Mic. The M-Audio is the best because you can power most condenser mics with it.

I actually just peeped this review of an old piece in SCRATCH Magazine
I forget what it's called but its this tiny blue box with like 1 0r 2 CD drives in it
and to my belief i htink you just press record on it
maybe you gotta go through a huge hassle and plug a mic in and all that shit
but then that kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
Hold on I'm gonna go check the magazine
If I'm not back in 10 minutes-
Call the cops
hahaaa


OK I got it
Its called the EzDupe "The Coach"
and now it says you can pop a CD in one drive and a blank into the other
and copy it
my bad, this stupid thing doesn't record jack shit

wow this reply feels so pointless now
