does anyone know about portable harddrive recorders? Like a
portable DAT recorder... but harddrives... instead of DAT

any info would be cool, if you know of a good model and
experiances etc...

thanks!

does anyone know how you can play a backing track on your
computer through headphones while you sing into the
microphone?

yeah, It should be real easy...

in logic, or cubase etc...

when you hit record, it should play back the tracks that are
there... and write what you are recording ontop of that

is that what you mean?

HD recorders that small are rare. That probably is the first
one ever, I've never seen one before. I have an Akai DPS12
with two fx cards and the 9GB HD. Works like a charm. I sync
it through MIDI to my PC. Using the fx is a pain in the ass
though.

Jesus H Christ! That 4-track thing is $4000! You could get a
very nice PC and HD recording setup with that.

I would get a cheaper portable DAT and a nice condenser mic.


My cousin bought a Sony MD player for his wife and it came
with a nice microphone. Very sensitive. She used it to
record her vocal demos on it when she was studying to be a
music teacher.

MD isn't as good as DAT when it comes to sound quality
though. DAT is same as CD, 44.1kHz non-compressed - you get
out what you put in. MD is compressed and lands somewhere
between CD and cassette, but I have a feeling you already
know this.

Go with a portable DAT. The really good ones were like $800,
but that was many years ago. I have no idea about todays
prices.

Sony have something very tasty lined up, but I can't go into
more detail.

Sony have a new thing coming out, disk based which will
supercede the DAT apparently.

You said you can't go into further detail and you have
failed miserably. Now, spill it all out. Too late for
golden, it's the time of silver. So what's this sony
thingymajingy you're talking about? :)

it...
