hm, that's not that bad. is it worth it though? because I know I'll have this problem at the venue again btw, can you perhaps show me a link of what you're talking about?

I'm using an MD MZ-NH700 and Sound Pro SP-BMC-2 mics. and yes, I'll be keeping the windscreens on

I'm already a bit confused. are you saying that I also have to buy my own mini mixer? if that's the case, I'll just stick to one or the other. I've already spent to much money on all of this stuff. :/

I will be recording 2 acoustic shows this weekend. one will be in a small 400 person indoor room and the other will be at an outdoor venue. so my question is what's the best way to record amplified acoustic guitars? (I'll be going through my mics) also, I've heard that you get better sound outdoors. is that true? thanks

I recorded off of a soundboard for the first time last night and beforehand read how many people mix both the soundboard and mics. but when I plugged them both in, my MD would either just say "mic recording" or "line recording" which led me to believe I'd only be able to record from one source. how do you make this work?

the 1GB sounds like a good idea to me. would one be good enough for now? or should I just get 2? I won't be recording shows every week or anything. also, when I record one show onto the disc, can I continue recording another show at another time on the same disc? or would I have to transfer it to my computer and rewrite over what I've previously recorded? I'm sorry for all of the questions. I'm just trying to make sure that I make the right decision because I'm not very knowledgeable with these things yet. I really appreciate all of the help, though.

I think that I'm just going to buy them seperately because the battery from Mic Madness is cheaper. btw, does anyone know if these (http://www.minidiscaccess.com/item.html?PRID=1389947) are rewritable? or are all mini discs? I have no idea

thanks, that was helpful. I think I might just go with the sound pro BMC-2 mics for $40. I wish that I could save on shipping and get these all at one place, but I guess I can't. I wasn't even aware that I need to get the battery module until I came on this forum. so I'm glad I did. btw, are there any other known places to still get the NH700 other than MiniDiscAccess and eBay?

thanks. so you're saying that those CS mics would work with the nh700? someone also had suggested these. but with a $50 battery box, that's going to be a lot. is the battery box always necessary for loud sounds? from reading about the CS mics it doesn't seem as if you need a battery box. I'm just trying to keep this all under $300 and it's getting incredibly hard. I guess I just need some suggestions for certain mics that I should check out because I'm not doing a good job searching for specs.

is the included mic a mono mic? I'll be recording from a distance and will need to be stealthy i.e. clip the mic(s) onto my glasses. when I was going to get the r700 (before I realized you can't transfer it to a pc), I was looking at these. they sound like just what I need, but those aren't for the nh700 this is my first time even looking into any sort of mic, so I'm still a bit confused.

I've been researching mds and I think that I'm going to wind up purchasing the NH700. I'm going to be using it for recording live shows (both loud and acoustic) and it seems to be right for the job since I will be able to transfer it easily to my computer as well. now that I've decided on what recorder I want, I need to find a mic. I can only find the NH700 on minidiscaccess.com and the recorder itself is going for $190 and then there's the bundle for $240. does anyone know how the included microphone is? (here) the link for the bundle if you guys think that I should get it for $190 and find my own mic, which would you suggest? I don't want to spend more than $300 total. thanks!
