I'm trying to find a recorder that:
1. Let's you monitor the input sound/output of the internal/external microphone via the headphones WITHOUT recording. (So you know exactly what the recorder is hearing before hitting record.)
2. if possible, have an onboard mixer that will allow mixing of 2 input sounds (internal external) with, again, output being monitored via the headphones.
Is there such a recorder? (lol maybe all recorders mentioned can do this but I didn't see them specifically mentioned after a cursory examination.)
Fidelity to the original sound would be great (via internal mic.) but feature #1 is crucial (#2 not quite so much.)
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
