thanks for the response! if you could elaborate a little, i'd appreciate it. do you have a link to anything that would work?
I looked around and found these.
This one looks like it should work and the price is pretty dang nice.

Then this one is a bit more expensive but maybe works better? I'm really not experienced with this.
