Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos


Looking to record sound demos from a smartphone but looking for a better microphone. Something like sound sommelier. Unfortunately he doesn’t disclose what mic he uses. Budget would be $500. Thx

The Sony PCM-D10 is an awesome portable recorder with excellent built-in microphones.  Also great for digitizing vinyl up to 24/192.  Built like a tank. And right within your budget.  I use mine to record live concerts and recitals, sometimes using external microphones for large ensembles.

Check out the Zoom H4n Pro.  I used one when my son was playing guitar and drums to catch some memories.  It will get you started and then you can add external mics if needed.
