A good recording system

[raindropshome]

Hi does anyone know of an inexpensive and effective recording system that I can use to record myself? Hopefully easy to use, just like press a button and the sound is close to real.

Thanks

I want one of those!  I want to make a silent short with my co-star.

Search around for handheld flash based recorders.  There are many on the market now.  

Here are a few examples:


Audio only:

Zoom H series recorders - H1, H2, H4n, H5, H6

Tascam DR-44WL
This one can be remote controlled from an iOS or Android phone app.  Good if you want to mount it somewhere and control from your instrument.

Of course having a sound "close to real" is subjective and depends on many things.  You won't be taking advantage of the sound any of these make if you are just listening through laptop speakers.  You need to have a decent playback system as well.
