- HI-MD
- or a Hard Drive recorder,
to do live remote digital recording with a premium on ease of setup and perhaps battery operation. I'd definitely go for a
- flash recorder,
however, with the exception of two very expensive units (Edirol and 24/96), they all seem to be a lower recording quality "voice recorder". Any Flash recorder suggestions that might be able to do the job [u]for way less than $400USA[/u] would be appreciated.
I've heard that you can unlock a cripple in Apple iPods by uploading a (mini) Linux program (podzilla?) that allows you to boot into Linux or iPod's native bootup. While booted to Linux, you can record at different sample rates (8,32,44.1,88.2,96 khz) thru the headphone jack! But to play it back correctly, you need to inport the music thru the iPods native transport for quality playback. I don't mind the hassle of record/upload to PC/download to iPod, in order to hear it correctly on the iPod, so maybe this would work out.
I'd also like recommendations for a quality mic, one that has either a 1/8" or 1/4" jack.
This is for doing live shows/jams/practice sessions, i.e. fairly loud music stuff. And should I think about a mic preamp, for this micro recording station?
