Hi Dennis,
Thanks. What mics do you usually use with the Microtrack? I am mostly
interested in what mic options exist for portable digital recorders.
Obviously, the availability of balanced inputs and even phantom power
in a portable recorder expands the landscape considerably. I first got
the Core Sound binaural capsules for use with my old DAT recorder --
they seemed like the simplest and best bang-for-buck option then, but
I expect there are lots more options now.
Cheers,
- Darcy

While I've been generally happy with the results from my Edirol R-1
digital recorder plus Core Sound binaural capsule mics, if I did
have,

(which I don't, but let's say I did), I am curious what you would
recommend.
Well, you could use that $1,000 to put a down payment on a Nagra
LB. :)
We (meaning Kalvos & Damian, our erstwhile radio show) have the Core
Sound
mics, which are very nice; they were a gift to the show.
I don't have $1,000 to spend either, so I haven't investigated the
middle
ground of recorders. If I had to do it over, I'd go with the
Microtrack
again, mostly because of the balanced mic inputs with phantom power,
its
96KHz 24bit recording, removable flashcard, and user interface
(which I
find convenient with its very different buttons for different
functions).
But I think we're about the head into a next generation scenario
where, if
too much time isn't spent on "thin", we'll get an improved set of
analog-digital conversion specs. So my advice would be, unless you're
dissatisfied with the Edirol, to wait a year.
Dennis
