収束ゾーンでのライフ: Life in the Convergence Zone

Minidiscs are so cute! I can't bring myself to get rid of my recorder, although I haven't even dusted it in 5 years because it's such a pain in the ass to use.

Yeah, Zoom H2 or H4 (if you want to multitrack in the wild for some reason?) are pretty reliable, easy to use, and make nice recordings for their price & size. I have an H2, which is what I use for the dinky recordings on my website, and my father-in-law has an H4, which he's used to make very nice recordings of filk circles, the church choir, etc. The onboard mics are pretty good, or you can use an external mic if you have a nicer one, which I assume you do if you were recording to minidisc. (You should probably choose the H4 if you want to use an external mic, it has... a something something? which the H2 doesn't. As you can see, I are srs microphone expert, har.)
