Cost Effective Way To Record Clips For Teacher

[akagilligan]

I'm looking for a cost effective to record acoustic guitar clips to send to my teacher. Nothing fancy, just decent quality to get feedback on what to work on between lessons. Ideally something using a cell phone for simplicity. Something better than the phone mic but not top of the line. Hoping to email 30 second mp3 a couple times a week. What would be a buget option, middle option and higher end option?

Thank You

Rode makes a stereo mic that plugs into an iPhone for under 100 dollars.

Purchase a dedicated handi-recorder. I have a bunch of portables, and I can recommend the Zoom H1 (under $100), but there are many that are cheaper.
No fuddling around with a separate mic for yor phone and when you're done you have a mp3 that can be USBed to your computer and e-mailed.

A little off topic, just occured to me, if you are recording to an iPhone, what happens if you receive a call while recording?

Just record it on a phone, or your computer.

I use my iPhone all the time to record both audio or video clips. Video on a smart phone? You can post directly to YouTube and just send the link.

Yep. iPhone with the apogee mic is great. Post to YouTube and send the link. Both audio and video for analysis.
