I bought a Sony Minidisc recorder which I found out doesn’t actually coem with a microphone. Anyone have any suggestions for a good mic? I’m going to use it mostly for recording live Irish music and interviews.
Thanks, Cliff
I use a Sony ECM-MS907 - you can get one for $80 with free shipping at buy.com.
If you listened to the Salt Lake City mp3s that were up a few weeks ago, this is the mic that was used. You can set it to record at two different directional angles, 90 degrees and 120 degrees. This makes clear left and right tracks.

Sorry, much cheaper mine, cost £6.99 UK from Maplins. It’s excellent, small and round, powerful and has sticky velcro to stick it onto the top of the minidisc. I use it at all our lessons and the recording is great.
