New Gear!

I’ve just acquired a few new pieces of hardware, which is always great fun…  First was this lovely digital field recorder - the Tascam DR-100.  Lot’s of special features attached to this gem, and what’s best of all is that it will enable me to start taking more work doing on-set/location sound and recording all sorts of interviews and such.  With 4 built-in microphones, 2 XLR inputs and one line-in, I’m pretty set to record just about anywhere anytime.  I’m definitely excited about this one.

The second piece of hardware is a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 digital mixer & firewire audio interface.  I’m pretty excited about this too, however, the acquisition of this fine piece of capital occurred only as a result of my previous interface (MOTU Traveler) breaking down on me after I returned home from vacation.  I’ve not really gotten to play around with the Saffire yet, but so far it’s looking and sounding good… Looking forward to using both.
