I was looking for a little recorder for practice and working out some ideas, watched some videos on youtube and noticed they sounded better with the rig they used to make the video than the boxes they were testing. So I started checking out the Zoom H4n, H5, and H6 that are made to go with a video cam. And sure enough, when THEY were auditioned on youtube they sounded pretty damn good for the money. The H4n has some features for multitracking, the others are made for live sound but maybe they would be OK too. Easy to use, not many inputs or tracks though. H4n has 4 tracks but 2 have to be a stereo pair I think, use 2 for the MPC and 2 tracks left. H6 has 6 tracks, 4 plus a stereo pair but no track bouncing or punch-in capability.
I was looking at a Boss BR-800 but maybe the handheld's are better. Few features but better specs. I can see how these would be good combined with computer DAW for live sound music or video production but not sure if they'd be good as a standalone music scratchpad.
