| | | well it's a bit late now... 4 years later, but technology has advanced! I happen to make music using a lot of sampling from abandoned buildings and train yards, and various places. I use a Zoom H4 which works pretty good. It takes 2 AA batteries which last a long time. It has 2 small condenser mics that are pretty sensitive, but some people may find it annoying if they prefer directional mics... but fear not because it has left and right xlr inputs (fantom power if you want too) and high impedance 1/4 which also work for instruments. it takes an SD card, which you can put a 2 gig in there and you are set for hours. downside to it... it costed me brand new like 330 including tax and that is only because the guy at moog audio never charges me tax and often knocks a few bucks off the price for me. I think they will come up to 400 dollars or so. other downside, it's plastic, not metal so dont drop it down a flight of stairs or something, which is possible since it is a field recorder. upside, the stereo from the 2 mics works quite well! it simulates the position of your ears. other upside... you can mount it on a camera tripod

| | | Posted by RailGuy88 Just joined... May I suggest Sony. They still make Hard-disk recording modules for the professional line (vs consumer or semi-pro) that have XLR/line combo plugs, multiple channels, multiple outputs, and many different formats. The modules come in a carrying case, and contains an internal battery pack with optional external power source. Not sure on the cost. But you may want to look at their website, and also at sweetwater.com and bhphoto.com. -R
| well mine has two built in condensers, two combo plugs (xlr and 1/4"), it has a 4 track, and it stores on either the 16mb internal which is not much but it also uses SD cards up to 2gb. it runs on 2 AA batteries which last like 5 or 6 hours with the backlights running. I prefer AA batteries over internal batteries in this case only... because when they run out you can bring spares. it has usb, and you can also put the sd card in the computer. you can choose for the recording to be done in wav or mp3, depending on how much you care about quality vs the space you will take up on the card. it has built in effects such as chorus, flange, distprtion and other effects typical for guitars, which work well if you are going a guitar track on the thing (basically it is a 4 track porta studio also) however, it costed over 300 bucks which is the downside.
