Re: A tip to overcome one of the annoying problems with the Zoom H1
A thousand percent agreeance with this technique. I used to keep a cheap pocket AM radio on me for just these purposes. People used to think I'd lost it! Then I actually did--lost the radio, that is, never found another to replace it. Guess they don't make those things much any more. You can figure out some amazing things by listening to those noises.

Well here's a handy way to use your instruments to great effect when sorting out one of the very few functions of the Zoom H1 which isn't accessible. I'm talking about the Bit and Sample rate of the file you're recording, this is changed in Standby mode by using the fast forward and rewind buttons, rewind takes you back through the cycle whilst fast forward takes you forward through the cycle of bit and sample rates. When recording using Wave Broadcast format you cycle through 44.1KHZ 16 Bit, 48KHZ 24 bit and so on right the way up to 96KHZ 24 and back to 44.1KHZ 16 bit so how to tell where you are. Well turn your instruments to pick up induction loops and put the recorder near them. Now start recording, you'll be able to hear the recorder as it writes to the SD card and the slower the rate of writing then the small the sample size, 44.1KHZ 16 bit has the Zoom H1 writing to the SD card about every half second whilst 96KHZ 24 bit has the H1 writing to the SD card every sixth of a second or so.

Re: Running Out of Battery Power with Today's Digital Recorders
I've been reading about these so-called USB battery packs that charge from the PC's USB port but have several different connectors to mate with different appliances, and so far I haven't read a single bad review of any of them. I do like your comments about the Sanyo batteries, might look into those specifically for use with the H4N, or for making an external battery pack of my own with a double set of them. Some intriguing possibilities present themselves here. On Mon, 6 Dec 2010 11:26:15 +1100, you wrote: Hi there!

Re: A tip to overcome one of the annoying problems with the Zoom H1
An AM radio can also be used to determine the distance to a nearby thunder storm. Listen to the loudest static crashes and count the seconds until you hear the thunder, about 5 seconds to the mile. If the time interval is 0, I hope you're in a building with a lightning rod!

Re: Accessible Digital Voice Recorders, the Best ones?
They can't really be compared as they're different machines and have a lot of different functionality. The DM4 has voice activation, Daisy functionality for playback - not recording as far as I know - where as the 520 doesn't have those things, full reviews can be found on Blind Cool Tech. I thought about getting a 520 but I now agree with one of the other posters here, the H1 would appear to be a far better recorder. On 07/12/2010, at 8:33 AM, Matthew Chao wrote: Thanks for the info.

Re: Some More Digital Recorder Research and a Documentation Question
I don't know about that one but I do know about the PCMD50, its been reviewed on Blind Cool Tech as well so research that one, unfortunately the PCMD50 is not available in Australia otherwise I would have purchased one without fail.

Re: Some More Digital Recorder Research and a Documentation Question
The problem with the Sony recorders, or, should I more correctly say, the D50, is it uses that old Sony Memory Stick technology, which is fine if you have an external USB memorystick reader.

Yes but it also has 4GB of internal memory so that's not so much of a problem.

RE: Running Out of Battery Power with Today's Digital Recorders
,ray samson will replace the unit free of charge. all you have to do is call them and give them your serial number and the date you purchased the recorder. then they will giv you an rma number and you can send your unit in to get it exchanged.

Re: Some More Digital Recorder Research and a Documentation Question
Yes it is but really anyone who compares any of the Olympus recorders to the Sony PCMD50 is comparing Apples to oranges, similarly comparing Zooms to Olympus, Zooms and Sony PCMD50 machines are professional high end recorders whereas the Olympus are not.

Re: Accessible Digital Voice Recorders, the Best ones?
Yes it does but it doesn't have voice activation or Daisy playback so if those functions are important to you then go for the DM4, if you couldn't give a damn about speech, voice activation, Daisy playback and just want a high quality recorder then go for the Zoom H1 and if you want to do better than that then the Sony PCMD50.
