Someone should invent a recorder that is basically a SD card slot and input/output connectors and attaches to an iPhone, using the iPhone as the control surface. They have microphones that attach to iPhones already, but I'm talking about a full-function recorder with external memory (not using the iPhone's audio processor or memory). You'd need to have on-board ADC and DAC because the iPhone only goes to 48/16, I think. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Sohn" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, December 13, 2013 11:09 PM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Very low price today on Zoom H4n flash recorder > >My H4n should be in my hands on this coming Tuesday.
