Title: Field/ Vocal Recording
Post by: Servetus on July 08, 2007, 03:28:16 AM
Ooooooooooooooook!

A new dillema from Servetus. . .

I know that quite a few of you are avid field recorders- I enjoy sampling and want to get a bit moer serious about it.

So what sort of recorder should I get? I lean towards the flash drive concept because in my mind I think it would be more abusable.. (I'm rough on, well, everything) ..I don't know much at all though. Please educate me.

;D

Well it depends what you're looking for. If you want something small and portable without fantom power, just go for a boss Micro or the Boss 600. I have the Micro, Kara has the 600 and we are both very happy with this unit. They use SD cards, but you can record uncompressed.  The recordings are very clean. I know Kara is recording a lot with it.

I also know that the recorders of Korg are good, but have no experience with them. I know Kara is in love with the D3200, but the pricetag is preventing him from getting it (or was it miss P?  :D ) 

Zoom has some nice devices, but beware: you usaully get what you're paying for (and since these are cheaper...)

Also check out the tascam devices. I never used a tascam, but know that many people are happy with it.

Ahhhhh, as much versatility as I can have. :P

I would like to record some concerts, but that's a low priority- more percussion samples, ambient sounds, and vocals.

*shrugs* Just saving pennies right now. >.<
