I'm currently using a Ditto looper to record backing tracks to solo over.
The Ditto is almost the perfect tool for me - basic, easy to use, sounds great - but it doesn't have the ability to save loops, & I'm finding that I'm coming up with lots of great ideas but then forgetting them the next time I pick up my guitar.
I'm not looking for stellar sound quality, just essentially a notebook to record riffs & backing tracks, so I can play them again the next time I take out a guitar. I'd thought about a Zoom H-1 but I'm just going to be transferring the recordings straight to my laptop so I may as well bypass that, get a microphone & use Audacity or something similar.
My question is, though, what microphone should I get? Something cheap & cheerful but with reasonable clarity - recordings from my laptop's inbuilt mic & the one on my phone are a distorted mess. & that's with the amp clean & on low volume. I've heard good things about the H-1 - something like the mic on this that I could connect directly to my laptop would be perfect. Any suggestions?

Is an iPad an option for you?
Lots of very good (cheap) apps out there for guitaring.
