Binaural Microphons, record what you hear, and they are tiny, you could potentially make some yourself for really cheap as well...

I want to be able to travel to different areas around China (and later other parts of Asia) and be able to set up my computer to record/produce bands there, as well as recording traditional instruments and vocalists to use in my own EDM productions.

I know we got off topic... but what are you meaning by bands? like full set bands with guitars and drums and stuff? or do you mean like recording some bits of some instruments here and there for edm productions?

Cause your gonna want quite a bit of mics, inputs, and some sort of mixing desk if you want to record a band. or you'll have a disjointed workflow.

If you are recording bands shouldnt they have their own microphones and equiptment such as mic stands?

I imagine their singer would have a mic, and maybe a stand, but that's about it. The scene there is pretty ghetto and very raw, which is all part of the allure. Here's a decent, short documentary about an American band touring China: Rock Under the Red Flag. The last couple chapters show a lot about the local scene.

Yeah these are awesome. I've been interested in this technology for a while. I'll look into it more, thanks.

There's a half-mile street here full of new/used electronic equipment -- some of it being sold on the street, some in authorized stores, some in dark alleyways... I went there last week and didn't even know where to begin. I saw a huge pile of keyboards and synths in one store that I had to just ignore til I get more extra cash!

Actually, I mean both. I think the Zoom H4 looks pretty much perfect for what I want to do with my EDM sample/recordings thing. Recording bands is a little more cumbersome, considering that I'll need mics/inputs for vocals, guitar (x2(?)), bass, drums (multiple). I suppose 8-tracks would work fine, as I'm going to be recording mostly noise/punk rock -- not Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
