hi,

i'm just wanting to get into sound recording for film, and i'm
wondering if anyone can give me a bit of advice for the best way to
get started: i'd like to buy some sort of recorder that i can download
the sounds from onto a mac, so i can practice editing them. i was
thinking maybe a minidisc, but there doesn't seem to be any way to
download the sound from them onto a mac, and they also record slightly
compressed apparently. anyway, if anyone can give me any advice on the
kind of equipment i should be looking at, then please let me know.

thanks heaps
