The Canon looks like a good rig. Congrats.
The thing about mismatched recorders/mics is that your stuff may not cut together so well. Generally would prefer two of the same recorder/mic unless there is some specific feature you're getting. Instead of two recorders that cost $220 jointly something like the H4N (and is actually what I use for simple location sound) would give you XLR instead of 3.5 inputs, and phantom power. I've been pleased with the H4N. Anyway just a thought.
Good luck with your gigs!

I know they are budget devices, but to help cover myself on the audio side I went ahead and splurged on both a Zoom H1n and Tascam DR-05X as well.
Frankly all of it is probably overkill for my use, but it's something I like to do, my extended family enjoys and I can afford it. So what the heck  |
