Anyone know how to record freestyle rap while walking around?
Hey, I posted this in the hardware section, but it's been a few days and that board is really inactive.
I have a digital recorder with a mic input, and I have a mic, and I have an ipod. I want to record both simultaniously but there is only 1 input (1/8th inch jack) is there a way to converge the two sounds? is there any other way to record on the move? I don't care about quality at all. Thanks, Jason |

Yes! I have a digital recorder so I would like to be able to record my voice and the instrumentals from the ipod.
I tried using a headphone splitter, hoping it would work backwards, but it did not make the two incoming sounds converge. Thanks, Jason |

That would be awesome... But I want to be able to do it while moving (walking, driving, on hikes, riding my bike, etc.)
I have a zoom PS-04 which can do it, but it's a relic and only has 15 minutes of recording time. I would buy something portable but don't know what I could get cheap that will record for a few hours. My Sony digital voice recorder can record around 48 hours, but is 1 track. It was 50 dollars. Is there really no way to simply converge the sounds? Thanks, Jason |

I'm sure you can wait that extra day to go back home and mix it surely, it will still be recorded, and you can listen to it back by just playing both tracks at the same time again. You just won't have a single track until you put it on digital and hook up some audacity on the mofo.

I'd recommend what Comus is recommending. Record the voice track with your mic as you listen to the beat, if it helps. When you get home, mix the recorded audio with the beat you have already prepared. Your other option is to record both voice and beat in a live format. You'll get incredible bias in what stands out from your audio though - your voice will drown out the beat, so you'll have to mix that later anyway. The easiest option is the second paragraph : P
