I highly recommend the Sony PCM D50. Here it is for 399 (an awesome price): http://www.audiolines.com/product.php?productid=19972 It will run at 96k/24bit. Built in mics are really pretty good. Only downside is that it is sensitive to wind noise. I have one, and not only does it sound great, but it's pretty tough. It got dropped from ceiling level on to cement and survived with nothing more than a scrape and a bent mic protector. ----- Original Message ---- From: Byron Howell <howell.byron@gmail.com> To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 4:29:19 PM Subject: Portable recording device Hi Loopers A request for advice from all the gear junkies on this list. I am packing up for a while; the drums, P.A system, loopers, midi controlllers etc.... going into storage to enable a bit of foot loose and fancy free traveling. I will be taking with my macbook, (cant function without that), however i dont want to lug any extra gear such as microphones, interfaces etc.....The performer is going on hold for a while and i am restricting myself to whatever sound creations i can do in the software environment. One backpack must contain everything for survival. I am looking for a portable recorder to record samples of environments, conversations, backgroud noises etc..of the various places i visit. I would have to be as small as possible, able to record quality audio and be able to tranfer the data to my mac. Price is always a matter of concern, but since i am funneling my entire music creation down to one recording device, it does deserve some hard saving so i am willing to spend. Any suggestions would be of great help. Byron
