View this Thread in Original format
MSZ
appreciate any information regarding, field-mics, or field recorders. i was told to stay away from m-audio, but not sure about which make or model. do you or anyone you know have one, if so, go on :}.

ive been toying with the idea of getting one for a while, but it always escapes me.
thanks.

zoom H2 here, very very happy with it, but for more specific needs, I'd get the H4N. Worth every penny.

So cliched....

nice how is the High end? the h4 is a bit much for me, h2 seems more of a fit. cool thunder samples, reminds me of my friends track , he made it when he was 15years old or so. have you done a lot of one-shots?

I have an M-Audio Microtrack 24/96. It served me adequately for a while, but now I am looking into the Sony PCM-D50, which seems to be very well-reviewed.

Those Zoom ones look nice, though.

i have a sony pcm which is pretty high end and a zoom h2 i believe ( 200$ ish ) and they sound pretty damn close.

I use my ipad now.

What kind of batteries do the Zoom recorders use? One thing that really annoyed me about the M-Audio is its proprietary battery, which as far as I know can only be replaced for ~$70 by sending the unit back to M-Audio. Ridiculous, really.

[Nevermind, I see the Amazon page says the Zooms take standard AA. Sweet.]

I never had one of those. Wanted one so much, too. :(

I had one but I remember being pissed cause it doesn't actually do the slow-motion thing like in the movie and I'm pretty sure it broke after like a week.

There's one thing you will need though, that's a hi-quality windscreen.


Here's why:

They look terrific.

Torley had one too, that's how I got to discover this brand.
