Hi Tim
I’m having the exact same thoughts on recording audio when shooting either alone or a two man group. So I was wondering now that you have had the edirol r44 for some time what your thoughts are on it. Any limitations or things that bother you?
And just for the record – I do appreciate the fact that a dedicated sound op makes better sound, but that’s not an option for me. Some times it’s a money issue, other times it’s about upholding the intimacy with the talent.

Right now I’m on the H4N and the Sound Devices 302 but the setup kinda bothers me when I have to move fast. I often have to record two radio mics and the cam mic and there is very little time to attend sound once the levels have been set with the individual character. Therefore I like to record in 4 channel mode on the H4N using the ext mic on the back for the cam mic directly. That unfortunately bypasses the limiter and level adjustments on the 302 not to mention that I have to switch cables when I change from a 1 radio+cam mic to a 2 radios+cam mic setup. I’m looking for better setup that makes able to record up to 3 separate channels with quality pre-amps and good limiter.

Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks.
Jakob
