[LUTE] Re: USB Microphone
Yes, I noticed that also. My cheap 25€ webcam with built in stereo mic ist great. Stereo mics can cancel noise, that's probably why the quality is surprising. Compared to my TASCAM it isn't even that bad for lute recordings either. I was extremely surprised.

Why don't you just get a webcam with a mic? They are cheap and useful for lessons. Giving or taking? There is system I just learned about today called String Masters. This is set up so you can see and annotate scores as well as see and hear the teacher and students.

Thanks Ralf and Miles. The Zoom recorder is more than I need and more expensive. I was thinking in the ~$25 - $50 range. Perhaps the Yeti that Milres recommended.

As a nice side effect you can use them without a computer, recording to a SD disk.
