There is a chance I get a fellowship after college that will pay me a significant amount of money to do a spoken-word/interviewing project. I need to get a portable recording setup.
1 rugged omni (thinking Electrovoice RE50)
1 rugged cardiod (thinking sennheiser E855)
A nice digital, portable preamp (maybe a Lunatec V3?)
What do I record it into? and how much would it cost?
DAT? Minidisk? Some harddrive contraption? Should I stick with dynamics in the field -- most of it will be handheld recording, does that eliminate nice condensers from consideration?
The 3500 dollars will also be stretched to get Apple Logic Express (students can get it for 150), a usb2 harddrive for my PowerBook, some RAM, mic cords, battery packs, etc.
All you field recorders out there -- give this thread some love!
