Thanks krudler!
I will have a chance this weekend to listen to fields of california and hear the R24 in action.
R8 -could be the best mix of features I"m likely to find unless I build one myself - thanks for that tip! Review here for anyone that wants to read about it: Zoom R8
Are you able to track in your Z24 while hearing effects (reverb, etc.) that don’t get printed?
[Edit: I see from the manual that the Z8 can do that, so I’m sure the Z24 must be able to also].
Re: using a condenser mic with my own preamp by plugging in to the combi-jack but turning the phantom power off … I didn’t know about that, thanks for the tip! Is that pretty much something that can be done with any preamp - turn off the phantom power and run the output from another preamp through it?
Here’s a newbie question again: - when the phantom power is turned off, is the signal just passively sent through, or is there some low-level processing unavoidably done?
Thanks!
