Necrox Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I like recording people and sounds, and after getting up to the gigabytes in samples on my phone, I think I might want to get a field recorder. My phone is obviously not the best choice quality-wise and I don't have much space to work with either. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabeel Ansari Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Zoom H4N yep EDIT: The Zoom is a model of choice for many production audio people. Not to knock the Tascam at all, since I know nothing about it; just that the industry professionals I've been taught by at school always recommend Zoom. The H6N is cooler, because it comes with interchangeable mic capsules; you can switch between shotgun, XY stereo image, etc. If you're doing field recording for sound design/effect purposes, you'll want to get additional mics too; that comes later, but since the Zoom models have mic in jacks for additional mics, you won't need to carry around a big audio interface backpack.

Skrypnyk Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I picked up a Tascam DR-07 MKII a while back that I rather like, forgot how much I paid for it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I use a Tascam DR-40 for all my field recording needs. Zero complaints thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
