Hey, can anyone tell me if they know of any cheap (<$1000) portable DAT recorders? I can't find a cheap one anywhere..well, besides used..

..DAT?

 

[Agent4054]

You don't know what DAT recorders are?! Digital Audio Tape recorders.
It's a D/A > A/D converter.

AHH, if you said the full name I would have known what you meant

I'm not sure if I know where to get one cheap.. I'll keep a lookout for you next time I go shopping, if I see a good one, I'll buy it for ya (as long as I get reinbursed, otherwise I'll keep it for myself, muahahaha)

 

[Agent4054]

lol. right.

 

[CitrusC]

I'll do my best. (and yes, I AM serious)

 

[Agent4054]

Awesome

*growls*

I had a look for you today, couldn't find any decent ones.. well - one decent one, but it was £1,200. Bit out of the price range, lol.

EDIT: Incidently, I got my nice shiney new MiniDisk player today! Yay!

 

[Agent4054]

lol. what kind is it? I saw an awesome HHB minidisc recorder (portable) for $1400 but it was niiiiiiiiice. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MDP500/

wow... for sure this is useful to capture outdoor sounds, but it's expensive !!
How much data can you record with those DAT ? 2 hours of hi-quality sounds ?

 

[Agent4054]

something like that, yeah

 

[Agent4054]

Way off topic, but i found an old pic of my mixer and mic. heh.

 

[piGfreeZer]

I wish I had a mic like this (and a mixer too)..

All I have ATM is (don't laugh at me please) a DigitalHandyCam connected to my PC as a mic :]
hehe

Hey, whatever works. My first mic was an El Cheapo (tm) uni mic from the 80's. It broke when i ran(literally) into a truck when attempting to record the sounds of the local street fair. The mic pictured there is my secondary mic.
