| Please don't buy any dat machines. Even in 24 bit guise, the machines are past their sell by date. Mechanically, they require too much maintenance and, at 24 bit, your running time is limited to 1 hour.
You have good mics and you need to capture them on a 24 bit machine.
We like the Tascam 1000 dvd recorder for a budget oriented set-up.
It will take your SPDIF input and running time is up to over 4 hours.
Source (the mics) and the playas are the most important
Then. . .capture the source in high fidelity.
Only later does one need a better mic amp and at that point, the DAV Electronics Broadhurst Gardens range of equipment is worth looking in to.
Of course the best sound is obtained when the noise that is being captured is a worthwhile noise, well performed. |
