HI,
I'm a newb here. I'm deciding between the 505 and 707 and have the same question I've seen here and elsewhere. Should I get the cheaper 505 and record using the "line in" with a powered mic or spend more for the 707 and use the easier "mic in"? This is for live recording.
A related question is, does any mic that uses a battery work in the line-in method, such as the Sony ECMMS907? Everywhere I look, some people are saying you get better quality with line-in and others say it's not easy to get enough power for line in recording.
People also complain of distortion using mic-in, but shouldn't adjusting the record level take care of that?
