Chipping in rather late here, but one thought is that some of these home re=
corders have midi inputs that can take "transport control" messages to star=
t and stop recordings.
Maybe a simple pic device could be whipped up to provide the two button int=
erface and send appropriate midi messages?=20

Cheers,
        Robin.

Subject: Re: [PIC] Need bullet-proof 8 channel audio recorder

I was having an unrelated conversation with an amateur musician coworker ye=
sterday and he mentioned some portable recorders he uses for practice sessi=
ons. A bit a googling...
http://www.samsontech.com/zoom/products/handheld-audio-recorders/
and
http://tascam.com/products/handheld_recorder/

I don't think any of them are "exactly" what you describe, but with a littl=
e creativity you may be able to repackage one of them.
