quick question about using more than one audio device

Hi. I was wondering if it's at all easy to integrate the sound from multiple (types?) of audio recorders.

Like, if I record room noise on something like the zoom (is there a word for those sorts of devices?), then do dialogue on a boom, will I easily be able to seamlessly put both of those together?

Thanks!

After recording the dialog you should record room tones using the same mic with the same settings in the same position as when you recorded the dialog. The use of the same mic/settings/placement provides tonal consistency, which makes dialog editing/mixing easier.

Room tone is much different than ambient backgrounds/atmospheres. Room-tones are to smooth out the dialog track; ambient backgrounds/atmospheres are carefully constructed "sound effects" to give a sense of time/place.
