Hi,
Please excuse me indulging in some thinking out loud. Anyone ever struggled
over the choice below? Would be glad to hear from you.
Time to move on from my Roland R05, out of the world of hand held recorders
into the world of XLR and better pre-amps I think. Everything beginning to
sound like a fry up.
Two recommends, he says :SD Mix Pre3 and Zoom F4. What kind of recordist
are you he asks. I like to travel light and discreet. Not one to lug about
boom poles and complex arrays. Not yet maybe. I like to carry my gear in a
black ex camera bag, holds recorder, mics, batteries, the lot.
Mix Pre 3 would suit, he says,' toss it into a bag'says theSD web page. At
=80700 I would hesitate before tossing it anywhere. But I like recording th=
e
really quiet stuff,and water I say.
Excellent pre amps, he says. Ok so far, I think. Batteries, I ask. Well...
he deliberates, then talks about battery packs, sleds, chargers. The cost
is mounting. Not forgetting if I 'throw' it into an Orca bag, more money.
So Zoom comes in at around =80500.Pre amps still excellent he says. I am mo=
re
taken by the cool promotion on You Tube, guy going through the corn field,
with his Zoom. Where I come from, there are no fields like that. But still
cheaper, I think,though the Orca bag is over =80200.Hmm...What do you want,
he asks. Quality? Next best thing? Meanwhile I am bleary from overdosing on
You Tube :reviews'. I have been reading the manuals online when I should
have been sleeping.
Now I should be sleeping and I am writing this.
Make up your mind Martin, he says.
