Hi Shang-Kwei, I have no experience with this recorder, but I'll share something from an article comparing 32-bit float recorders: As of 2022, there are 9 recorders capable of recording 32-bit float audio. However, 3 out of those 9 are from the same product line and only differ by the number of inputs, so there’s only 5 product lines to choose from. Also, one of those recorders is the Tascam Portacapture X8. It has received such poor reviews that I cannot recommend it. Here's the link to the full article, if you're interested: https://acousticnature.com/journal/best-32-bit-float-audio-recorders Best Regards, Liza

Hello to whoever may read this! I want to upgrade my recording gear (from a Zoom H2N, no external mic, no windscreen!). Since taking this class, I've been poring through different options. I want to keep it all below $1000 - which is actually a scary stretch for me, but I can't see how to get a significant upgrade for less than that. Right now I'm looking into a Zoom F3 recorder, and have some questions for anyone who has experience with it. I'm technically quite unsavvy, and the only editing I do, with Ocenaudio, is to trim my recordings and normalize them to -3db as we were taught to do in this course. 2 questions: 1) Does Ocenaudio read 32-bit float files (I use Windows 7 if that matters), and if not, what processing program does? And 2) Does processing 32-bit float files differ from processing 24-bit, and if so, in what ways? My final question is if anyone has recommendations for a mic that would be good to use with the F3. After lots of research, I'm thinking that the Rode NTG5 might be a good option - or a used Sennheiser ME66 if I can find one. Any thoughts? Thanks! Liza
