@fancysandwiches oooh, please talk more about the kinds of things and places you want to record. (Like many good questions, the answer is “it depends”)

@briandorsey the one very specific thing that I know I want to record are the 17 year cicadas that are going to emerge in my area this year. Other than that I am not exactly sure, but probably birdsong, and just random noises.

Other than the Cicadas the primary motivation is to use various found sounds in my sampler (Digitakt 2).

@fancysandwiches oh yea! So cicadas are sooooo loud, you definitely don’t have to worry about self noise specs or anything. :) It mostly gets challenging when you start trying to record quiet nature soundscapes and such. Any of those recorders will do well with loud ambiences and sampling things up close.

@briandorsey thank you for confirming. I spent several hours looking into this and that seemed correct to me, but also I know that I'm barely scratching the surface with what I've learned so far.
