Roland vs Marantz

Re: Roland vs Marantz
If you're considering the Roland BR-864, I don't think it's up to the task or serious recording. I had the previous model to this, and I couldn't get my recordings outputed to a level that was acceptable. On these little recorders, it seems that when you master out, the levels are too low. I also used a small Fostex with the same problem. I think the Marantz would be the better way to go. I've been looking at it myself.

Re: Roland vs Marantz
Meranntz are nice but in hard exterior location shoots they break down VERY EASILY. I was shooting in thet dessert and the soundguy brought two. I laughed and asked why. Later, they both stopped working until he got them serviced. They are very delicate. Very good though. But quite bulky.
Isn't the dvx100a one of the best mini dv cam to record on cam?

Re: Roland vs Marantz
In compiling interviews for documentaries, I'm finding that some people are too frail or shy to deal with video. I need a "softer" alternative, and I'm thinking of the Marantz to tape voice interviews, then combine those with photos, etc.
So, what's an example of a rugged digital sound recorder?

Hehe, we used 16mm Arris cams that were used to document world wars... they lasted.

Sorry powerdog, I don't know too much else about sound recording.
