M-Audio Microtrack II

I'm thinking about grabbing one of these, cause my first gig is in a week, and I wanna record it

They're the cheapest portable recorder right now, probably cause M-Audio may have a new model in the wings...So I wanted to know if anyone here has had any experience with this thing.

One question I know I have for sure, is how the included mic sounds...Is it decent, or utter shit?

$500?

They're going for $200 all over the place, like on Amazon. $500 is the MSRP

The internal mic isn't bad, but if you just want to record form your mixer, you can use an RCA to 3.5mm (1/8") stereo and plug into that the line in.

The digital in isn't worth anything... it's crippled by a low recording volume (mentioned in the manual).

I was gonna use the mic to get the 'live' feel. Thanks for your info

Too bad it can only record two tracks... otherwise you could record the live crowd and the mixer stream simultaneously and mix those as you please =).

Just make sure your levels are set properly.
