Thanks for your view on this.
I have a Zoom, also a Sound Devices Mixpre10ii and many decent mics, so its not really about High fidelity or practicality here.
It's more about creating something playful and analog in nature just for the sake of it.
Yes I have been thinking also about using three electret capsules instead, too. However I would like the XLR input idea better.
I am aware that in a way I am describing a mixer yes. But I want this setup to be as small and light-weighted as possible and also battery powered.
besides I don't know any compact 3 channel XLR mixer with phantom power.
And the preamp quality of the tape recorder is really good, I dont want to decrease on quality...
Thats why I just want to switch between Stereo AB and Mid Mic or merge them.?
?
BTW: If you dont need your Sony walkman anymore, I'd happily take care of it and feed it with heartfelt music?
