Hi all
Thanks for accepting me onto your site. I've been trying to make electronic music as a hobby for some time now, but there has always been something missing. I want to take the sounds I hear in everyday life, like trains screeching or birds singing, and put them into the music I am making. Ambient sound will be the main subject matter. However, I also take short recordings at techno and house gigs if I like the track and want to find it later. My phone is currently sufficient for this so I am not that picky. Open recording, and indeed sometimes phone use at all, is frowned upon at such gigs. Stealth matters for me.
So, here are my requirements:
small and handy, stealthy, omnidirectional mics, 24/96, preferably under 100 euros (flexible budget)
preferable:
ability to handle sounds over 125dB (for better recordings at gigs)
These are some of the models I have looked at so far:
Zoom H1, H2, H2n
Tascam DR-05, DR-07
Sony PCM-M10,
I know a little about audio gear from production and DJing, but I'm completely new to taping. I hope this is in the right place in the forums, my apologies if it isn't!
