So this is settled now.
I talked to an old friend who bought dozens of Zoom recorders for a
project and regretted it: it seems the production tolerance is very wide.
He said that many of the recorders did not record at the same level and
quality though all settings were the same.
I now
Thank you!
The new H4n Pro seems to have the preamps of the H6 - so the noise might
be lower.
Damn, this is really a hard decision...
If semi-pro home recording is easy with this thing, it's definitely a pro.
Anyone have the Tascam DR-07x? Since it is Mac OS compatible, Linux is
probably
I own an old H4n and did a lot of recordings on that thing.
Regarding your last question, Tristan: yes, one can use it as a USB
sound processing device. When you connect it via USB, it let you choose
a mode: storage (copy files only, not recharge a battery, I'm afraid)
or as
I get very good results with Olympus LS10, LS-20M (for audio and video) and
LS-100 recorders.
Cheers!

Yes I read about that - but it can be used as an USB sound processing
device then, or does it only recharge or read files?

Well then - my decision will now be between the Tascam DR-07x and the
Zoom H4n Pro.
It seems the Zoom can be powered by USB when recording at the computer?
If not, I would tend to buy the Tascam with longer battery life.
Both seem to be decent USB sound devices.

built mic in iPhones is mono, as is the recording software included ,
but the audio card it is great,
and there are inexpensive gadgets you can plug into it. Tascam stereo
mic works very well, and its gain is so strong that you need to
have the limiter switch on at all times.
How do they fare when it comes to the lute?
My cheap (but pretty awesome for the price) Xiaomi phone has an abysmal
microphone.

I use a Zoom H2 for recording concerts including those with singers,

The best field recording device is your own iPhone, with a $50 Tascam stereo

On the Amazon US website, on the "reviews" page for the Roland R-07 recorder,
there is an extensive comparative discussion by Micheal Mathews of that
recorder vs. the Zoom H-1 and the Tascam DR-07. His conclusion is that the
Roland wins for musical recording.
Thank you all for the input.
I guess I can manage 200 bucks even if it hurts.
My room is actually not suboptimal for recording, I have sofa, carpet,
wall carpet, etc. and it sounds really dry.
I guess I'll go for the H4n just because some of the features are very
interesting.

I very much like the Sony PCM-M10. I've no idea of how it
compares pricewise, but it is an excellent portable recorder
both using its internal mics and using plugins.
HTH .. m.

I found Tascam recorders to sound better than "the others" - the zoom devices
have powerful marketing.
Forget about USB mics, they are crap and I'm polite. If you want to record
straight into your com running Linux you exponentially add problem sources, I
strongly encourage you not to.
Good
You'd be surprised, some devices only have auto gain ...

Yeah, you would never want to use auto-gain ;-)

Yes, Tascam does make some pretty nice hardware. But keep in mind: the
"cheaper" (<200 Euro) models lack the possibility
to plug in external mics. That's fine for concert recordings but if you want to
do a semi-professional solo lute recording
(esp. in a sub-optimal recording space) you probably

The best thing in both
I have a Tascam DR-1 and it has given me years of loyal service. It gives a
very clean, natural sound, has good build quality and the original battery
still provides outstanding autonomy. This model has obviously been superseded
but there are several others on offer. Try to see one in the flesh
I'll second the recommendation for the Zoom H4. I got the H4n Pro as an
upgrade from the Zoom H1. The H1 was great for a few years, but the H4n
Pro has significantly better preamps. The original H4 has the same
pre's as the H1, but the H4n Pro has the same pre's as the H6, so you
I own a Zoom H4 (the old version) and am pretty happy with it. Did many concert

The actual microphone capsules are pretty good (way better than one would
expect). If you need you can
