You know like there are cameras you can get for cars, that record continuously and in the event oif a crash, save the last 5 minutes footage to show what happened, a sort of visual black box? Well, is there any audio equivalent- something that is portable (may be pretty bulky as I imagine battery power would be a real pain), but records constantly and when you hit a button, saves the last 5 minutes or so of sound? I don't think there is, but I'm interested in the idea and I thought this'd be as good a place as any to ask. |

Like a black box, but for blind people? Why, dare I ask? |

Hmm, I was hoping for CD quality sound like a DAT, but that's certainly an idea. Jedi Chris: Field recordings... too often you hear a sound that even if you had a DAT recorder on you, you wouldn't be able to get it in turned on and recording in time to capture it. Unlike photo opportunities, sudden great sounds often have no hint that they're about to happen (eg line of sight is not neccessary- you can hear stuff streets away on a still night). |

very easily solved, get yourself an md recorder with a mic, then leave the record on, and if something happens you always have the last hour or so audibly documented for your voyeuristic pleasures and fetishes, and what not....grr |

The fact that 'great sounds happen without a hint', what is the purpose? |

To capture sounds for use in tracks. Celloncllone: Can you set MD/DAT recorders to automatically record over themselves from the start if they reach the end? EG, record for an hour, when they're full, go back to start and record over again, etc. all automatically? |

Looking at JAroen's thread, a 20gb Ipod capable of recording at 44khz .wav could be the answer... maybe with a pair of headphone microphones? |

oh an ipod recorder, that would definetely be noice but i dont think dats are that sophisticated with auto-rewind etc, who knows, i am too poor to have one. |

You can get recordable MP3 players (which can record to wav as well as MP3), but I'm not sure if Ipod is one which can. I'd want one you could attach decent (stereo) mics to- not use a 1/2" built in piece of junk like some of the MD recorders have. |

Good point about it having to auto rewind (DATS aren't double sided like normal tapes, are they?). Unless I could mobius strip the tape that'd be a problem :) |

the archos jukebox fm recorder can record audi via external mic or built in mic and has 20Gig storage. I think many other hard-drive players can record now too. Check out iRiver for instance. Lots of the little flash-memory ones also record. |

i am pretty sure they are single sided, i could be wrong |
