Belkin TuneStudio

The TuneStudio is an affordable and reasonably-portable solution for those interested in limited live recording of a couple instruments or for sketching out ideas. Its ability to record to an iPod rather than requiring a tethered computer will be appreciated by those who lack a laptop (or don't want to have to tote it to every session). If its limitations are, in your opinion, no limitation at all--you don't require scads of channels, multi-channel output, or MIDI--it could be a useful audio companion.--Christopher Breen
