I want a simple, cheap method of collecting sound to put into my Mac, then use them in the EXS24 in Logic Pro 7.

Someone suggested a digital dictaphone, but could that link to my Mac? what are the other possible answers???

Thanks all

If you have an iPod, then there is an easy way to do this. Belkin makes a voice recorder that records audio directly to your iPod. The link for the product is:

Its small enough to fit in your pocket, has a built in mic to record anything you want then you can transfer the audio to your computer through your iPod's usb/firewire. Not too sure what fidelity you need, but its an easy portable solution. Hopefully that helps!

Have a good day.

Thanks Mateo,

I'd kind of considered the iTalk, and I haven't written one off yet. I just wondered whether for a few pounds more, a minidisc recorder or DAT machine might be better. I'm not particularly after real hi-quality sounds, but i'd like the option!

There are tons of mp3 players out ther that will record and save sounds that can be put into your mac. I heard that soundblaster has a pretty good one... as good as it will get with a built in mic.
I assume that your are looking for high quality samples. I don't think that's going to happen with a built in mic jobbie.. If I was looking for something small, affordable, and capable of doing dome quality field work, I would look at some of the ZOOM products available.
