Field recorder solutions
I have a Tram clip-on mic and a Sennheiser 100 Series wireless mic, both with XLR inputs.
Any compatible suggestions in the $300-$400/$400-$600 range for a portable minidisc recorder, dat, etc? Tape vs disc? thanks, elmer |

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I've been looking at that Zoom H4 with its 2 combination XLR-1/4 in. input jacks with phantom power. My question is, would using adaptors to hook up my regular size XLRs to its 1/4 in. inputs cause the audio to deteriorate or be plagued by noise? thanks, elmer |
The Marantz PMD-660 is a pretty good choice in the $400-$600 range. It records in either PCM/WAV uncompressed or MP3 format on CF cards. You can also elect to record in stereo or mono to save on storage space.

Zoom H4
Unless I misread your post (possible) - The Zoom H4 HAS a pair of XLR inputs. No need for adapters. Love mine (well, love might be a too strong a word). Lot's of flexibility.

I think I misread the product description! A couple questions: Does it record compressed? If so, is that good enough for filmwork? It has a USB interface. Would it be easy to capture for work with FCP 5.0.4? Any other tips, drawbacks, etc? thanks, elmer |
Is there a way to sync the camera and the recorders up, or does this have to all be done in post?

I'm not much of a mac user, but do be aware that it is recording wav for uncompressed. Can FCP deal with that? Find specs and manual at samsontech.com. Quote:

http://www.core-sound.com/pdaudio_system/10.php I have a cannon HV10, so Ive also been trying to find a solution for getting better audio. I have a full recording studio and use nuendo 3.0 and do band demos etc, but currently have nothing easily portable. I guess I could get a motu portable firewire setup and use my laptop, but it would be easier to have a a smaller portable solution. |
Great minds (maybe) think alike!
I'm wanting an HV10, and that's why I'm now looking for a portable audio solution. How do you like your HV10? What's your experience with low light? Ergonomics? Controls? thanks, elmer |

This is only relevant to the title of the thread, and not the topic per se, but has anyone been using the Tascam HD-P2? I'm thinking about buying one to replace my DA-P1 since everyone seems to want digital files and I'm tired of bouncing everything to my computer in real time. Also, timecode!

Abe, if you search this forum you'll find some user evaluations of the tascam. I think people generally like it - I've not used it.
