recording live music using an mp3 player

[zook]

Here's the deal. I have a creative muvo n200 mp3 player. It has a built in mic which is great for voice recordings. It also has a line in which can be used (this I haven't tried) to rip audio casette tapes or vinyl records into mp3. I tried using the mp3 player to record a live band and it totally sucked. The built in mic is too damn sensitive such that everything -- the drums, guitars and vocals -- sounded distorted. Any work around to this? Thanks in advance.

Yun din ang naisip ko kaso wala akong mixer.  Gusto ko din subukan yung mic ng PC. Baka sakali mas matino ang sound. Hmm...

it might work though I've never tried it. i record direct line-in through my laptop or through my recording PC since I worry about the signal going into the red when I am recording straight from my DJ mixer.

i use adobe audition on my laptop and steinberg's wavelab on my recording PC. i usually record 44.1 at 32 bit float for max resolution.
