Portable field audio recorders and FCP
by chrispy on Nov 7, 2007 at 2:56:50 pm

Hi,

Anyone has good recommendation on a portable field audio recorder, like an MD recorder, that would be suitable for use with a DV based FCP system ?

Would it be possible to copy the audio from the MD disc into the FCP system's hard disk and work directly from it or do we have to injest it ?

The FCP system does not have any analog/digital audio I/O...only using Firewire so how do we go about if we have to injest it ?

Any advise appreciated.

I have two different Edirol recorders and they're fabulous. They record to Compact Flash cards. Just plug the machine into a USB port and it shows up as another hard disk on your desktop. Just drag the song files into a folder on your computer. The machines record in MP3 or .WAV so you need to transcode them in Quicktime to AIFF in order to use in FCP, but it just takes a few seconds, no big deal.

I have the Tascam HD-P2. it also records onto CFII cards and has a 1394 port for downloading files. Great piece of audio kit.

Hi Matt,

For the Tascam HD-P2, when you connect via Firewire to the Mac, does it show up as a hard drive and you can just copy the data to the local hard disk ?
