RPSharman Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 "Outside" is usually noisier than any bad preamps, even in pretty remote areas. Obviously there are exceptions, but this seems like an inexpensive tool to have for the occasional times you'd need a handheld unit. I'd be interested to have a true side-by-side test with the top hand-held contenders. I'm still interested in buying something like this. Quote

Jon Gilbert Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 I've never seen the point in using cheap recorders with cheap mics to record atmos or whatever you want to call it, it seems to be the wrong way to achieve a simple aim, especially if you already own better kit. Quote
Jay Rose Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 What about a quiet day in a park? With faint traffic, nearby river and birds or whatever? Or something at night? Or whatever to accompany a quiet scene. Wouldn't want noisy preamps there I still have to chop up the dialog tracks, split/crossfade based on speaking levels, and prep for mix... where probably there'll be some ADR to add. So a good deal of that subjective atmos around the production track will get mangled or bumped up and down during premix. After which, the mono production ambience will be mixed with lot of stereo bg that's either been specially recorded, or (low budget) from a library. Quote

Yes, but above some have said they want to record those atmos with the Zoom and I don't think that this will be suitable in every case Quote
