I can understand that.
Its a great option to use when sampling Vinyl.
These days I sample straight onto the Olympus LS-100 given its far more
convenient to use than the PC or Mac.
Given I’ve only had the Zoom H6 for a month I’ve not had time to try any Vinyl
recording with it.

Besides sampeling rate, the number of bits of each filee influences
heavily the sound quality. I like to record in 24 bit audio when I
can. CD quality is 16 bit. bits refer to the size of each sample.
Bigger samples mean a greater range of audio is captured in each
sample. Even with spoken word recordings, 24 bit at 48 or 56k samples
sounds like the speaker is in the room! bigger samples for spoken
word don't impress these ears and they are a hassle to edit.

Ah thanks for this. I'll get to the site right away. I do believe in HD.
I do hear some more brightness, more openness and harshness on Blu-ray
disks vs the DVDs but this will be good to hear. Cause like I said I've
done different format files on my LS-14 but remember that thing ain't a
pro recorder. Well it's part of Olympus's pro line, but it's like the
little side arm if ya will to the main big gunn of the LS-100. Also I've
not heard HD threw real pro mikes like my AT-8022 or thee awesome Rode
NT1-A neal always uses. Man if I ever get even an LS-100 I'd totally get
a pare of those.

I’ve given this some thought and have decided that - for the purposes of
this discussion - the participants should be able to hear for themselves
the differences that high sampling rates etc offer so here’s a way.
There a site called http://www.melbarecordings.com.au
<http://www.melbarecordings.com.au/> which is an independent classical
record label.
If you go through the site you’ll see a section labeled something like
test recordings.
Follow the links and you’ll find test recordings in different formats and
sampling rates you can download or preview.
The first thing I’ll say here is don’t be at all surprised if the higher
sampling rate files don’t work on your computer system after all! Its all
hardware dependent and some sound devices don’t support above 48K.

Ah I can hear up to 18 K. But I wana see how much difference I can really
hear. Thing is I've done it with an LS-14 but of course this isn't as pro
as the H6 is. Maybe an LS-100 would be but saddly couldn't get that.

Inmy jhumble opinion, recording at 96 khz 24 kbps is really a waste of
time. Even with perfect hearing most people can't hear above 22 khz
anyway.

Hmm.. I'm not sure where you got that info from?
Unless I'm totally wrong I understand that whatever the sampling rate
is set to then that goes so if you're set to 96K 24-bit then go for
your life with the whole 6 tracks.
There are two things you have to be aware of and the first is SD card
size as you'd need something large to do 6 tracks at 96K 24-bit.
Second is that once the sample rate is chosen then that's all you can
down mix to so in other words if you're performing a down mix on the
H6 then everything you choose in your project has to be of the same
sampling rate.

Ah that's fine. it won't let you go all the way to 96 KHz 24 bits if
you go beyond stereo anyways. So Stereo is fine. I just wana hear
the recorder's capabilities at full glorious HD.

Dain, I've heard the mikes on Neal's podcast. But can you send
me some stuff in full glorious 96 KHz 24 bits HD? After all
neal's podcast is just an MP3. My email if you wana send it to
me dirrectly is [email protected]. I'd say just some out
doors stuff but don't know how it's there in your part of
Australia. Don't want ya to freese or something. lol

Hi!
Thanks to the list member who recommended the Zoom H6 recorder,
I’ve had mine for a month and to say I’m pleased with this
recorder is indeed an understatement.
The Zoom H6 is the best field recorder I’ve ever owned for so
many reasons which include usability.
The ability to record 6 tracks at once right out of the box is
a plus as none of the recorders I have will do that.
The sound from the supplied microphone capsules has to be heard
to be believed as it sounds so much better than most other
supplied microphones for field recorders you’re likely to
hear.
All of the functions I use are accessible without the help of
the menu system though I do plan to write a menu shortcuts
document for the recorder though its the usual thing of finding
time.
