Recording!! Please Help

by xgamerx101 Dec 20, 2005 1:36AM PST

Hello

I am looking for something to record myself in my home. Being a music major I need to hear myself from the outside (speakers) in order to pinpoint all the things wrong with my performances. I bought a small Flash drive that doubled as a recorder and its recording is ok, but i need something that wont distort in high range. I heard Minidisc's players were decent recordings, but i have trouble finding one. All I am looking is for something with a microphone input and decent recording quality. Can anyone help???

Hi,

First, Sorry for my english. I'm writing from my native belgium

Well, I'm looking too for a solution.

For the moment, I've only found the I-river IFP 799 or 899. It's a mp3 player with a line-in plug. It can record with external microphone in mp3 up to 320k. It seems the sound is quiet ok compared with these machines.

But I'm still looking for other solution, like recording in wav format (16 or 24 bit, 44.1 k or higher).

Well there is quiet few solutions for the moment.

You have the Edirol R-1 which seems quiet good (only the recording process, I don't speak about quality of microphones, adding a preamplifier etc...). It records in wav format. But the budget is quiet differnent.

For the I-river, it's around 250
