Topic: Im ney, and need help! :P

[andrewgitm]

hey im new to these boards but from what i see its a good communitity...im just curious as to what i could use to record a couple concerts im going to..(i know there must be 100s of these threads, sorry haha)

as many people, im a budget and im looking for a  cheap (but good) recorder that wll give me fairly good results....anybody please feel free to add me on aim (sn: andrewgitm) i would love any help!

i was thinking if perhaps someone "lent" me their equipment, i could send them a copy of the show i record..but i doubt that'll happen because of the price of some of the recorders..heh, worth a shot right?

thanks!

First off you won't make any friends referring to anyone here as bootleggers. We don't sell shows.

Secondly what exactly is your budget?

sorry, i didnt know the term "bootleggers" refered only to people selling shows, i thought it just meant you recorded them, so sorry if i offended anyone fixed now

Hmm...was thinking around 50-70$ USD (which is about 100 CDN funds)

as for a recorder, if thats your nudget, you better gte a minidisc

if you can afford it, just get a nomad jukebox 3, they run about 180 dollars new(refurbished) but can store about 30 hrs of uncompressed wav recording, and you can use as an ipod-like device when not recording :)also easy transfers and whatnot, search the archivel section here on the main page, there are PLENTY of threads regarding all of the recording devices in use, just look around

Bean got to before I, but I second what he said.

Also do you have mics? battery box?

You might try ebay to find a used minidisc or JB3, preferrably a JB3 as it recordes uncompressed.

I have nothing, heh..but i can borrow my friends MiniDisc, so im just looking for mics i guess...and battery boxes..are those the same as battery modules? (dont have one either)

[Zaphod]

Yeah battery module/battery box essentially the same.

You can try the Yard Sale section of this site I think there are some decent starting mics up for sale, I don't know if $50-$70 would get you started though.

www.soundprofessionals.com they have decent microphones and battery boxes that would do well ran line-in on a minidisc, given it's a loud rock show, but I hear shipping out of US can be hard through them, check it out though.

[andrewgitm]

^^ im not sure where the mics are lol im not familiar with the names of them....i did look in the yard sale section though
