No, I don't mean concerts, I actually do mean recording stuff "in the field" -- I heard a really cool sound last night, and I didn't think of my iPhone (duh!), but even if I did, I want to get serious about this. I want to have access to a quality portable digital recorder at all times (I.E. if not actually with me, then with me as much as my iPod is).
So, I realize this is not the best place to ask, so the question is mostly -- where should I go to ask this? Harmony Central? Any place else? I can't remember the music makers and producers forum that I used to frequent -- gear-freaks or something like that?
Here are my choices so far, that I can figure:
Tascam DR-1 or DR-07
Alesis ProTrack (requires iPod)
Zoom H4
Edirol R-09
Olympus LS-10
Any others I should be looking at? Would like Hi-Res (either DSD or high bit-rate PCM).
