>>1035832Awesome, sounds good! I don't have experience with the DR-05 but I started with the DR-40, which seems to have the same mics. The DR-40 allows you to swing the mics from an XY orientation to n ORTF orientation, which in practice is actually quite a significant feature to have, which the DR-05 or H1 do not have. In any case, the Tascam mics are good, very sensitive, pretty low noise. They're not absolutely transparent though (they color the sound a noticeable amount, as is typical with any directional mic). Either way, fantastic value!
My current rig is a Tascam DR-70D 4ch recorder that I usually use with a pair of AT4022 omni mics spaced with a Jecklin disk. (as seen in my first post). I started with just the DR-40 and slowly upgraded. The DR-40 (same features as the Zoom H2N btw) allows you to use external mics so eventually I bought a pair of cheapish external mics and built a Jecklin disk... and just kept upgrading over time - got better preamps to use with it, external phantom power, etc. Now the DR-40 is in storage and I have a much better recorder in the DR-70D and better mics with the Audio-Technicas as well. I still use the cheaper mics sometimes when they might get damaged (rain, etc). Also the cheaper mics, being less sensitive, tolerate cold and humidity better as well. It's nice to have some choices to suit the situation. And yes, those are my recordings!
This reording I made with just the DR-40 built-in pair (pretty much the same thing you'd get with a DR-05):
