recording problem

[dubbeatscb]

I want something to record with, but here is my problem. I was looking for something i could use with my computer like and m box or the firebox things. The problem is, sometimes when i feel inspired, i would like something i could just plug in and record with minus the computer, like a portable studio. The thing is, i want something that can do both i.e. record with a computer and without. Is there any product that can do this, go from a portable studio thing to something like and mbox, where it acts like a feed into the computer? Any ideas would help, thanks

you might want to check out a effects pedal with a removable data card. That way you can record a guitar riff or something and save it for later. Then you can just plug most of your stuff into that. Thats all i got.

Your best bet is to purchase a portastudio device that also has a USB output or something to allow transfers of the files to computer. It will allow a "take anywhere" style of recording minus the computer, but will also provide you with the ability to edit and mix on the computer with only a small amount of work.
