Has Anyone Used the Zoom Recorder?

cant be bad for 300 , if trew desided start to sell it , i may think they found it give enouth for the price . only as usb preamp it worth to take it .
i may think with anice preamp in front as you have you will get quit alot
be carful it doesnt take + 4 line level so you will need to pad down your mixer out
 
why back up ?;-)
it nice if you really nead separate recording
dontb see any benefit for regullar use esspesially for dialog .
if you keep proper working chain and hear the camera there is less chance that you will have problems then forget to hit the record buton on the zoom :-)
not to mention the drag of trying sync something that not have tc
 
Ya, I just see things that look like fun and get them sometimes (like the SD302, Oktava and Schoeps)

What figure 8 mic do you recommend to use in a M/S stereo recording with the cmc6 4 mk-41? Is there a low, medium, high end choice?
 
i used the blue line and it worked quit nice with schoeps ,
thats about the one and only in the low price range that can work inside one windshield
over that you have few choices more costly choices as mbho - around 800euro and the neuman , mkh -30 is an exellent one about 200 more , or of course schoeps which is about 2grand for that setup
to match the sound its better to go with schoeps , if you need only get some sort of normal stereo image th eakg works fine
for indors , you can also check large diafragma mics ( there are allot not bad chiniz ) and us its pattern of 8 .

in aweek or 2 i will check one like that that coming from the same factory i bought the pensil ones and the large cardioid , if it would sound nice as the cardioid i have i will let you know .
but francly we dont use to much on locations , mostly to take sfx or music on the spot. so if you dont intend use allot of this setup i ll sudgest you invest in other good mic and rent when you realy need it
 
Thanks Oleg and Scoob. That ambient looks really cool. I thought of the AKG and large diaphram (Rode NT2A, I have an NT1A and I like it). I will look at renting, more of a curiosity than a need for me right now. I got the 302 and it can do the M/S decoding, so I want to play around with it. I need a good shotgun more that a figure 8. When I get the $$ I need to decide between the 416 and the Schoeps.

Side not, I would have saved some $ and gone w/ the ULS-CK63 as you and MattinSTL suggested, but I needed something sooner than the 2-4 weeks that it would have taken to order. I should try to plan ahead better.
 
Yes............... :)

(It's a very nice and versatile Fig8 mic but takes forever and day to receive after ordering)
 
I will certainly bring it over to let you play it when I come to see your pole :)

I am not in a position to rent out gear I am not redundant on but I think I can get you hooked up with another mixer who has more audio gear then god (god is an audio gear hog, right?)

Cheers
