Me too. I bought a used $100 PC laptop with
windows 98E and 128 ram. I just think of it as a
"audio transfer machine" so I can keep my other
computing world(s) in order.
You could go with regular MD but the
quality/functionality is considerably lower.

Sorry if I was too cryptic. I'm taking about
getting quality ideas in the interviews. Chances
are quiet low, in a 30 minute, hand held-mic
interview with the artists, that they'll have
much to say that is not obvious about the
relations their art work has to this sound scape.
If you put a HiMD recorder in his/her pocket, a
lavaliere on their collar and let it record for 7
hours as they work in the space- it will
encourage them to listen and think about it. If
the ambient recorder is running at the same
time, you've got a great recording of what they
are referring to. No audio tour in my thoughts.
You've really got two very, very different types
of recording in this project. There are better
options than spending $1000USD or even $800USD on
one deck. Rob D
