    I’m looking for a small, inexpensive digital audio recorder that I can use to transfer audio files to my Mac – and then into FCP. This is purely for scratch audio so the sound quality doesn’t need to be perfect. Are there models out there that work with Mac?

    Small, digital, good quality, good rating. I’ve used one. It works well.

    I’ve shot a few live shows using the M-Audio Micro Track 24/96 <https://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MicroTrack2496-main.html>. Uses flash media and records great stuff at a street price of $350. Sony owns MiniDisc technology and you will be stuck using their proprietary software in order to get audio off it onto the mac. Otherwise you are digitizing audio in real time. Total Sony pararnioa BS if you ask me. The M-Audio Micro Track is drag and drop. Use a good mic and set the levels properly and you can synch up easily in FCP. I love it.
