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.

i like those mini DAT recorders, but the minidisk will work to. As far as i know you can use any mic that you want as long as its operated by a battery. 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...
