all i want for christmas part 2
yes! Got a microtrack... $399 from Guitar Center, only 6 miles away.
I ended up getting it last Saturday.. one of my friends was visiting from Chicago and we ended up having some free time before Dinner and Capote (excellent film, check it out.).
We ran by Guitar Center and after 30 minutes we walked out with a little box that promised so many moments of happiness. From there to dinner - a Persian restaurant called Garson's, and then on to the movies.
The next morning I decided to immediately test out the Microtracks various recording options. As noted below the Microtrack has digital ins, 1/8th mic ins and 1/4 inch ins that can alternate between a line in and mic in. The unit even comes with a little stereo mic designed to plug right into the 1/8th!
Here's an MP3 of me singing and playing right into the provided stereo mic. I have to admit I'm fairly impressed with the quality - truly handy for those sudden bursts of inspiration. Oh and at about the 2nd verse I totally start making it up cause I blanked on the lyrics ;)
Something True
The 2nd day I had it I went to check out the Lovemakers with She Wants Revenge opening. SWR asked that I not post any of their set online - but here's Lovemakers track off the soundboard. Great sound guy too - it was his Birthday!
The Lovemakers - Prepare for the Fight
Though both of these tracks are MP3s the originals were recorded in 24bit, 48000k - and let me say, the dynamic range on them is truly awesome.
Good times ahead.

recommended by yours truly. though check your settings again, i was pretty sure the microtrack supported 24-bit 96kHz badness. merry christmas from the beach, zatch! :)
What cables did you use for the soundboard recording? I just got a microtrack and I'm gonna record my dad's band tonight via soundboard.
