Which Portable Recorders are you using and is the Zoom h5 the right choice for me?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi guys</p> <p>I am currently looking for a sound recorder. The budget is around 200 €. It will probably be used as follows:</p> <p>5% of the time I will record sounds in the world such as hitting a table, strumming a guitar, humming, capturing ambience or something else. Basically experiment around, capturing sounds that may or may not be used in a production at some point.</p> <p>95% of the time I will record my synthesizer's line out (Deepmind 12) either without having to turn my PC or just connected directly to Ableton live via USB.</p> <p>Zoom h5 seems like a good choice for me as it should be decent for capturing sounds but crucially also able to record synths with a small noise floor (most crucial). It also seems great that it can be powered by USB and send the audio signal directly to my pc.</p> <p>I have no hands-on experience, however with Portable Recorders and I would be more than happy to hear your feedback. Would I, for instance, be 99% as happy with the Zoom H1n that costs less than half? Supposedly, Tascam dr40 should also have a nice sound, but it seems that it cannot be used as an external interface for a PC.</p> <p>Is there anything else that I am missing in my considerations? Looking forward to hearing your feedback.</p> <p>(Slightly reposted from <a href="/r/WeAreTheMusicMakers">r/WeAreTheMusicMakers</a> as I haven't received much feedback there)</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/DJ-VU"> /u/DJ-VU </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/a30g4k/which_portable_recorders_are_you_using_and_is_the/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/a30g4k/which_portable_recorders_are_you_using_and_is_the/">[comments]</a></span>
