For my example I'll use myself. Most things will be set it and forget it. Format for the most part I'd set to 192 KHZ 24 bits.

Cause apparently this has more accessibility then the Olympus recorders. But again this from what I heard in the clip could have a synth of some sort. Olympus just has a lady say stuff and they connect her recordings to each menu choice. Which is a great idea but it means that total accessibility like a plextalk would mean haveing this person speak every single little thing this rcorder does. Which as we've seen with the P recorders they have had her say some more but we aren't DM-4 level yet. >>>>> On 6/20/2018 7:00 AM, Don Breda wrote: >>>>>> Dane I decided to give the eltrinex recorder a try since for messages and other notes it really stands out in its capabilities. >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> I did purchase one yesterday and will give it a try. >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> I will report to the list on its prose and cons and maybe share a few recordings once I have had it for a while. >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> I will be returning the ls-p1 for a full refund. >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> I do have an ls-14 for high quality recordings although these days I usually use my iPhone for that so we shall see what happens with regard to the eltrinex. >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> Don >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> On 19-Jun-18 7:40 PM, Dane Trethowan wrote: >>>>>>> In these situations I always hope I'm wrong, so are you going to have the P1 swapped for a P4 or think about something entirely different. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> On 20 Jun 2018, at 5:50 am, Aidan <aidan.smartt...@gmail.com> wrote: >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> Well, this eltrinex don't have xlr and such for hamit, so I guess >>>>>>>> its sort of comparible with pocket or higher.
