Hi!
I'm thinking about hanging around recording sounds (animals, cars, noises, whatever) to try and play with them. And so i need a portable recorder... 2 tracks ought to be enough (mono or stereo miking), and needs to be plain simple to use.
I was thinking about a minidisc... any suggestions?
By the way, can I use other mics than those designed for the minidisc?
edit:
Just remembered, DAT is ok too... i don't have a budget for this. Just trying to find out the best option.

The heck with Minidisc - who wants to record compressed? Go out

i like those mini DAT recorders, but the minidisk will work to.

To get realistic sounds the ones that are made specifically for the units are condensor, and they have batteries and little mini jack plugs. I think as long as the mic can power itself then you can adapt it down to the mini jack.....don't quote me on that though...
