If you don't have the budget to splash out on a Sound Devices or the like, you 
may want to try the Tascam dr-70d. It has all the features you mentioned, 
decent build and audio quality for the price and can even be improved with a 
swap on op-amps..

Re: [Frameworks] audio recorder recomendations?

2016-06-06 Thread Jason Halprin
I'm partial to the Roland R-26 as a basic field recorder with built-in
mics, XLR inputs, and phantom power. It's nothing fancy, but can handle
some abuse, and I appreciate having independent gain adjustment for the
inputs. The specs allow you to record up to 6-channels, but it's really
going to be some combination of 2 XLR OR 2 1/4" channels + stereo from the
built-in mics + stereo from a mini-plug. If you want something that will
handle more than 2 external pro mics, this isn't it.

It's similar to the Zoom H4n, which is also an OK basic field recorder w/
XLR inputs and phantom power, but which requires you to use the menu
interface to control gain during recording.

You can buy a couple cheap models from Zoom that are unimpressive but
inexpensive.,

You can buy a couple models from Tascam that are a good bit more money but
definitely have better analogue electronics.

Then you go up a huge step and you can buy stuff from guys like Zaxcom,
or Sound Devices.  This is the point where you start getting decent grade
preamps where you can afford to be sloppy with gains.

Then there's a step up from that with the Nagra and the Aaton Cantar

So... it all depends on whether you want to put down $100 or $100,000.
