I don’t mind using apps so long as they are accessible. And I don’t mind XLR microphones if I can find small, portable yet good quality microphones. I mostly am trying to avoid having to look for sighted assistance every time I need to set a time and date like with the Zoom P4. Or every time there is an issue with the card in the unit. Also, on a recent pod makers review of another product it was noted that many of these portable recorders require us to memorize a great deal of menu options or carry around cheat sheets. I would rather not have to do that.
I have my MacBook Pro and my Vocaster II with my Sure microphones and iPhone 14 Pro Max setup here at home. But would rather travel without a large backpack if possible.
