I can't seem to go wrong when I post at Recording.org for advice on new gear purchases. So here we go again!
I am ready to buy a standalone portable digital recorder for ENG, sound effects/walla capturing for film, quick and dirty concert/practice recordings and other field work.
Budget: Less than $1000.
I have been considering these:
M-Audio Microtrack 24/96
Sound Pros GigaTracker
Marantz PMD671 w/RC600 remote
Tascam HDP2
Right now, I am leaning towards the Marantz. But does anyone know if they have improved the preamps at all? I heard they were kinda noisy for SFX but were decent for ENG/interviews.
The Sound Pro kit looks pretty nice, but I know nothing about it. Anyone use their recorders? How are they?
Feel free to express the pros/cons of any of this gear or any other possible solutions I may have missed.
Thanks a lot everyone! 8-)

Hi. I heard some recordings recently of some Peluso CEMc6 mics thru an Edirol recorder called the R4 . Now I don't usually go to Edirol for sound, but these recordings sounded absolutely fantastic. Try this link: http://
go to each recording link, and make sure its the r4 he used. There's also the R1 which is a less endowed device.

Good luck.
