Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - simple but high-end location recording rig?

Dot · 22nd December 2003

I've been wanting to get into offering services to make purist recordings of choirs and small ensembles. Maybe the occasional jazz or bluegrass band. Mostly really great audiophile-level stereo recordings.

I already have more than enough high-end pres and mics.

I have my studio at home and could dump the recordings - if they're 2-track - into BIAS Peak 4, or if it's more channels I have Nuendo 2.

What should I use as a recording medium for working on location? 44.1 or 48K would be fine to get started. I somehow like the idea of digital tape better than a hard drive. I dunno'. I thought maybe a Tascam DA something.

I want a simple, small high-end rig I can walk in with and set up quickly.

Any thoughts from anyone who already has experience doing this is appreciated!
