God damn! I misread, sorry guys. I didn't understand "Gin up", though it meant buy. So very confusing.

The sound is much better than its competitors. The gain control is easy to use. XLR in. Line 1/8 inch out. It has pretty good battery life, the AA nbatteries die it automatically switches to lith ion so it doesn't just die and gives you time to change the AA. I don't know why it matters for...

Since your low budget, there's no chance you can afford to do this properly. The time and effort to do this far exceeds that of recording it properly on set in the first place. Offer him 400 for the production this is common for lo/no productions.

Well If you prefer going portable yes, good idea to grab the DR-100. If you prefer to be stationary with your computer, at that price range you can get better sounding pre's than the Dr-100. Or even a good pre with a line in firewire/usb interface.

Pick one thing you're good at and do it. Then hire others that know what they are doing. You're 15... start a little production company with all your friends. Get one of them interested in audio, lighting, camera... Then seriously try and make films. You will be running circles around people...

The VM doesn't run on phantom power but 9v. No worries, I assumed that a mic used for this application would need phantom as well. Your dynamic mics won't be affected, nor your ribbon if they are wired correctly. To the OP, your mic is unbalanced and should be ran if using a boom pole with an...

Ok so stereo ambience it is. I'm actually just upgrading the recorder from the DR-100. I use a SD302 mixer. Just wanted a better sounding recorder and more options then the DR-100. No need at all for the 8 tracks I just suggested since I like tascam as a company.

Hello, I was looking into some different equipment and came across the surround sound mic. Is this necessary for recording ambients? Usually I would throw up a stereo pair but this sound pretty awesome. Are there any decent mics for the budget audio recorders? Also I thought I would throw in I...

Thank you for your reply. If the SD smaller mixers sound anything like the 302, then I will definately be going that route.

I own both the H4n and the Tascam. The only thing better about the H4N is the fact that you can record the inputs at the same time as the onboard mics. Everything else is way better on the Tascam. It has much quieter nicer sounding pre's and is built to last. (I have had to re saulder the Zoom a...

Hello, this is my first post here. :D I have been my own thing with sound for a while now. In the past I would bring a road case with different studio pre's and headphone amp, running to my recorder. Since the only have hands on experience with equipment that is out of my budget, I need some...
