You can't plan for inspiration. It just happens. And in the time it takes to set up recording gear, the most inspired musical ideas can be lost forever.
Next time inspiration strikes, you can be prepared with the handy Line 6 BackTrack Recorder with microphone.

BackTrack Instant Replay Recorder ensures that your vocals as well as guitar licks, riffs, and songs will always be captured. Sitting with you and plugged into your instrument, this simple and sleek device is always listening and automatically recording every one of your revelations, epiphanies, and great musical ideas.

You never even need to press record, since BackTrack + Mic captures audio whenever it hears you play or sing. As a standalone recorder, the sensitive mic with automatic gain control will capture crystal-clear vocals or acoustic guitar. With a guitar plugged in, the quiet 1/4-inch input will capture a stunning signal.

BackTrack is super simple to use. After you play something brilliant, press the "Mark" button to mark that idea as special. Featuring a 1/4-inch output and 1/8-inch headphone output, BackTrack + Mic allows for easy instant reviewing of both marked and non-marked ideas.

Backtrack + Mic can capture up to 24 hours of audio. Saved as WAV files to a rugged and reliable 2-GB flash memory, the captured audio is easily transferred to a computer via USB 2.0 for storage or further recording, editing, or mixing. The internal battery, providing over 8 hours of life, can be recharged via the USB connection.

Featuring a classic and low-profile look, BackTrack + Mic is so small and lightweight that you might just forget you're carrying it (until you're incredibly thankful that you are).
