Hi. I'm still new to collecting sounds and turning them into usable samples. I'm particularly interested in field recording but have only the most basic of hand-held recorders. I'm wondering if anybody has any gear they can recommend for discrete and entry-level field recording. Yes I realize I can google this, but I would rather solicit opinions. Also would welcome any feedback on the editing and sound of the samples in my profile.

Thanks

Zoom H1 is great for the price. If you have a little more money, the zoom H2N is better still.

I do enjoy using the Zoom H1, however the mic is super sensitive to the point that I can't even really hold the equipment in my hands without it adding a lot of extraneous noise to the recording. It's fine for stand alone recording.
