grawk Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 What does your recording chain look like? I have several variations of rigs I use to record live music: Recorders: Sound Devices Mixpre 10-ii, Zoom F3, DPA d:vice (not really a recorder) Mics: DPA 4061s, DPA 4015gs, and soon Neumann KK14s with custom (thanks JF) active cable mounts Editing: logic pro with RX 9 and Ozone 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiWire Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) I've got nothing... started investigating a Zoom iQ6 stereo microphone for the phone and the Rode VideoMicro II for a nonexistent camera. Purely for hobby recording. Compact, low-cost, maybe reasonable quality? Doing research on vintage cassette Walkmans and MiniDisc recorders revived my curiosity in field recording.

grawk Posted February 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 I got started with portable cassette (Marantz PMD-430 and sony D3). What are you looking into recording, and what's your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiWire Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Probably live music and other random stuff. The budget is super low, which is why I've started at around $200 or so. I already have GarageBand and Adobe Audition, so I should learn to use them. Edited February 16, 2023 by HiWire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolink24 Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) So pretty and I'm sure well-made given it's TE. But I'm not convinced of its utility. They have a matching microphone (CM-15) and mixer (TX-6) as well, which I feel similarly about. Then again, everything they have ever made has been really neat but very expensive niche products... Kind of the Leica of the field recording (and electronic music production with the OP-1) world. Or maybe more like vintage Braun, given the obvious Dieter Rams influences. Paying 80% for a design and experience and 20% for a product. Edited December 7, 2023 by revolink24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Kind of mini Nagra-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
