are you looking to do field recordings with a mic or recording audio output of portable gear, or both?

looking for field recordings with handy on-board mics.

I found a deal on a used one of these and we'll see what happens when it arrives in the mail!  Field recording review sites called this "the best portable field recorder" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

that looks awesome!  ugh now I want it and a cool bag and the whole kit

What draws me to zoom is the floating 32bit processor which is supposedly useful especially for quieter delicate sounds, must have good preamps too. Hopefully i can get that within a year or two, field recordings seem more interesting than ever. And i would use it for band improv recordings with different lineups if I get back into the improv music scene.

fun fact: I traded a whole pile of gear (eurorack modules, synths, etc.. ) at perfect circuit for a TP-7. Took several month before they had it in stock. Got it and loved it. But it had a defect.. Sent it back. Now again waiting for re-stock. Anyway... when I had it it was a delight despite all that

I often used a dirt cheap bringer usb sound card thing directly plugged into my iPad or phone and recorded straight to camera app or AUM. Does not get cheaper than that (https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail … -interface) if you have an iOS device already. But Behringer...

I want a TP-7 so bad because the form factor and interface just looks.....perfect

but I'm missing high-quality on board stereo mics on it!

I actually don't have a smartphone (!) but I know there are tons of great interfaces and microphone adapters for them
