ipod recorder or cheap portable recorder.

joeldadrummer · 25th April 2007, 06:09 AM

hey friends of gear,

I am looking for something small and cheap that I can throw song ideas down on while I am stuck in traffic.
Has anyone used any of those ipod recorders? OR perhaps somone can recommend a good stand-alone unit?

It should be rugged, under $100, yet simple enough to dictate my masterpieces on whilst driving, all while retaining that great Neve sound.

thanks!!

i picked up the griffin italk for my ipod video. It works perfectly and sounds a billion times better then those old tapes. It basically creates a new playlist on your ipod that says voice memos and you can copy them over to itunes. Pretty cool unless you want to sing an idea to something thats on your ipod. Luckily I have 2 ipods.

There is a snap in mic with a single button I picked up recently. It was about $75. Small and matches the case of my ipod. As stated above, recordings go in as voice memos. Works great for quick ideas.

There are also some wired mic versions out there but I did not want to carry a seperate mic and wire.

Now I wish someone would make a snap on camera with mic, that would be the best of all worlds.

Do you know what brand it is?

griffin italk snaps in and has a big button but $75 sounds to much. I paid $40 for mine.

Griffin Technology: iTalk Pro - Stereo Mic for iPod

That's the one. It was another one I looked at that same day that was $75. Sorry for the confusion. The Griffin model is the one I have and it works great.
