Thank you guys for your help & interest !
I have been using the built in mic so far to record singing/accoustic guitar
or harmonicas or duets ... with a line in I will be able to add 2nd 3rd & so on lines to the first without altering the original line(s) - sound quality has been very good just by pressing record & set it on the table about 2 or three feet from the person - concerts I've been to tend to completely overpower the thing - I havent found a way to turn down the recording level so I just move it closer or further away from the source to control the input level. There is a control however in the settings/system/microphone page to use auto gain control or manually turn it up/down - but I cannot see the results & have to go record something & then play it back to see if its ok - then maybe try again.
A concert like Jethro Tull - who normally will have an excellent sound in an auditorium will record quite well if you are near the back of the auditorium.
Most concerts will forget about mix quality & instead go for more volume on everything - which will give you a crappy recording no matter how you do it.
I use Meteor to record people I am trying to work with to get a useable copy of their stuff so I can go home & transfer the file to the desktop & continue with something like Cooledit pro (now owned by Adobe & called Audition).
Cooledit can remove noise & hiss & clean up everything & allow me to add another hundred & twentyfive tracks to something & convert it all to MP3 or whater. Meteor can also convert the project to an mp3 if I want it to, but it is a bit slow at that in the Axim - but I have done it many times.
Any way - sound quality is good enough but you will want to know how to edit soundfiles & clean up things to make it more professional. Meteor can do tons of editing right on the PDA -& add some effects too - like reverb & delay & distortion & whatnot.
Bottom Line:
Axim X51v + Meteor + Autotuner + RTA-Pro = Indespensible toy!
If I can now use the mic input, I will likely also be able to get another music app called Stompbox, which is an electric guitar effects program that can probably be used with Meteor (I hope) to make my axim become totally Rad.
I wish I knew about the mic input last year!
