[Harp-L] recording your own practices

["Nick Kirkes" <nick.kirkes@xxxxxxxxx>]

H-L,
 
I've been wanting to start recording my own practices (and lessons that I
take) but I haven't been able to decide on the type of device to use.  I
tried using a standard tape recorder, but the recording quality was so bad
that I took it back.  I've been thinking about Mini-disc recorders, but have
seen mixed reviews.  If I'm going to spend the money, I'd rather it be
something that is well received by people using it for the same purposes as
me.  I have an iPod for all my music, so a minidisk would only be useful for
recording practices, lessons and live shows.  
 
Anyone doing this and if so, what are you using?  Pros/Cons?
 
I know it's not directly harp related, but I've heard nothing but good about
the habit of recording yourself when you practice and I'd like to start
doing that.
 
Thanks,
 
Nick
