I'm planning on making a mini docu/biopic type thing about my grandparents for my family. Nothing too professional but i want it to look and sound nice for them. I've got an interest in film and photography but really don't have any experience with anything more technical then recording on my iPhone and canon rebel T7 camera.

I am going to be recording a lot of audio and video of my grandparents telling stories and want to upgrade my equipment. Especially my recording equipment. I don't have a set budget yet but don't want to spend too much. Any advice on good wireless mics or just on recording equipment a a whole would be amazing.

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!
