In article .com writes:

I am totally new to recording and want to start home recording
classical guitar. I have researched some options and was hoping to get
some feedback. Basically, I have a new iMac G5 but its not located in
a place in my home that I can use for late night recording. So I don't
want to use the computer as the recorder, but would like to use it if
needed for editing and burning to cds.

I am trying to stay under $600 and more importantly is ease of use...I
am looking for simple yet quality.

I was thinking of the Tascam DP-01FX since that would be provide me
with both the recorder and the phantom power for external mics.

What you need is just a way to capture your playing with reasonably
good quality. Since there are really no affordable "studio quality"
(note the quotes) stereo recorders capable of file transfer to your
Mac that are within your budget, I think that something like the
TASCAM DP-01 is a reasonable choice. You don't really need the FX
version so you can save a few bucks there and perhaps put it toward a
better microphone.

But look closely at the literature for the DP-01 and be sure that
there's a way that you can transfer the recordings as files to your
computer. I assume this is possible through the USB port, but it would
be best to make sure.
