Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi, I need a pcmcia card for recoding choir-music live on my portable.
Any recommendations ?

Have looked at soundblaster 2 ZS - any good / bad experiences ?
Recommendations on which mic to connect ? (Price: Around 100-200 US$)

Thx

I've had a Digigram VX Pocket for several years and it's worked fine
for me. I don't know the current price, but I suspect that it's still
over $200.

Since you seem to be looking for a recommendation for a complete
recording system, and a pretty low budget one at that, I'd suggest
that you look at a USB or Firewire recording interface rather than a
PCMCIA one. It will be less expensive, and you can get one with
built-in mic preamps (the Digigram will only sort of let you use mics)
it will have up-to-date hardware.

Which Earthworks have built in pre-amps?
