all options are open right now.  the only limiter is cost.

well. i can come up with 2K$ options or 200$ options. i just need a number that you are comfortable with, and we can work from there with all the options

definately the $200 side of the options. we're looking to get a recording of the soundboard mix onto a laptop and be able to edit it as cost effectively as possible.

at the moment, i would suggest looking into getting a UA5. that will like to your laptop via usb and provide a good A/D converter for the price.

you could score one from ebay or someone used cheap. if you are going to run it with a laptop all the time it doesnt have to be modded like everyone here runs (digi-mod to allow standalone use w/out a pc) but it would still work if you bought one with that mod allready

for another 100-200$ you could jump up to a m-audio firewire 410 or the newer edirol box (forgot the model#) that would aloow some multitracking with your laptop

The one with a HD in it?  I think that's the R-4.  The ua-5 is a smaller looking UA-5.  The R-4 is pretty expensive though....  most guestimates put it around $1600.

There's a discussion about that one in the recorder section though...

Is that the one you were talking about?
