Subject: Re: inexpensive recording technology From: Mark Ballora <ballora(at)PSU.EDU> Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 08:14:05 -0800A portable DAT and stereo microphone don't have to be expensive (although that is a relative term). Check out a dealer like 8th Street Music http://www.8thstreet.com We just purchased a Sony PCMM1 recorder and ATA22 microphone, for a combined total of just under $1000. For the quality of the recording these provide, the price is pretty reasonable indeed.
