Gear Masterlist info ask
It's been about 20 months since I compiled the lists for the AGF MEMBERS GEAR MASTERLIST. If anyone has additions, I'm happy to add them (that goes for previous contributors as well as those who did not contribute information the first time).
Just a reminder of the categories...
Also, because it comes up so often, it's probably time to add a section for handheld (Zoom type) recorders. So if you're using one of those devices, please list the brand name, model number, and the price it sells for brand new if it's still available for purchase. For discontinued models, I'll take a look around to get some idea of the used price. If you have something to add to the list, please leave it in this thread and I'll add it in a week or so. Thanks.

Doug, does that belong on the interface list or would that be better categorized as a Zoom type recorder?

I think of it as a "zoom-like recorder". Not as small, but still very portable. I think it can act as an interface (as can the Zoom), but I'm not sure it does that as a multi-track. What I see online is that it acts as a 2-track interface. Haven't tried it.

Lazily, I didn't read as far as the part about leaving it in the thread. Sent a PM already. Oops.

Hi Jim,
I use a Tascam DR-05 handheld, right at $100. Don't know if this fits, but I'm now using a Zoom R20 digital recorder, which functions as a DAW input interface or control surface, although I'm using it strictly for audio capture. I purchased new at just under $400. Last edited by Rudy4; 06-18-2022 at 06:51 PM. |

Guess I’m still kinda new around here. What’s the purpose of the list?
I’ve put together a semi-serious recording setup, it’s probably too much to list and of limited interest to anyone else?

It also lists plugins that some of us have found to be invaluable as well as plugins that are suited for some more specific tasks/problems. There is a pretty comprehensive selection of video tutorials. These were recommended by users here who found them helpful. I then reviewed all of them (that was a long week) in order to eliminate as much redundancy as possible. The tutorials run the gamut from how to treat a recording space to how to record acoustic guitar to fx basics and everything in between. There are also tutorials on mixing and mastering that can help guide the beginner so they can avoid some of the mistakes many of us made when we first started out. I created the list because in this subforum we were fielding a lot of questions that were mostly repetitive. The original purpose was to cut down on the questions about what daw and/or interface should I use, but over time I've expanded the list to include a lot more than was included when I first posted it. The list has been up for only about 20 months and it has over 27K views. That would seem to indicate people are using it as the resource it was intended to be.

The participants in the forum run the gamut from people just staring to think about recording, to casual occasional recordists with an iPhone or potable recorder,, to more serious recordists with either mobile or home set ups or both from entry level to medium price , to fairly high end and even some full time long time professional engineers. And the list reflects that gamut

I want to stay open minded about esoteric gear, but I’d have a hard time swallowing a potable recorder.

In his younger days, Kev worked the carnival circuit as a sword swallower. He became so adept, part of his act was trimming his toenails from the inside ...at least that's the rumor I heard.
