Live set recordings
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for an affordable standalone recorder to record live performances from a modular synth system through a Mackie Onyx 1220 mixer.
I’ll be recording the stereo master output and I’m mainly looking for the best possible audio quality, very low noise, clean A/D conversion and plenty of headroom.
I’m considering the Zoom F3, but also looking at other standalone recorders such as the Tascam DR-100MKIII, Tascam DR-40X, Tascam DR-05X, Tascam Portacapture X6/X8, Zoom H4n Pro, Zoom H5/H6, Roland R-07 and similar models, including used options.
For this specific use, which recorder would you recommend? Which one has the cleanest line inputs, lowest noise and best A/D conversion for recording a stereo master from a mixer?
I don’t need microphone recording or an audio interface — I’m specifically looking for a standalone recorder for high-quality stereo recording.
Thanks!
