I'll just be doing out door stuff. As far as spending hundreds or
thousands
on mikes and mixers and stuff like that goes, hell to the yeah I would if
I
could and had it. I've even told Neal Eweres so. I told him I'd get one of
the Sound-devices recorders if I had the thousands for them. Actually I
can
play 96000KHZ 24 bit files. I've already made some with Sound Forge 10. No
offence taken. I just wanted to know your thoughts is all. But, yeah, I've
even gotten away with 32 bit audio with Audacity too. But, that's for
another time. Point is, I'm a purest, and I want to record things at the
purest sound possible. But yeah, don't feel bad about what you said, it's
your feelings and that's about all, and that's all I wanted to know. What
you felt.

I don't know which one you should buy, but I certainly wouldn't go for the
ls7 for the 96/24 sampling rate.What are you going to record that you
believe requires such a high sampling rate, especially since you'll
usually
have to downsample to 44.1/16 anyway? And are you planning to spend
hundreds
or thousands on microphones and pre-amps so you'll actually notice the
difference? I don't mean to sound harsh or sarcastic, but I don't see the
necessity of going to 96/24 with what is essentially a consumer recorder.
Even Neal Ewers in his podcast says he rarely uses those high rates.

I thought as much. The DM-620 sounded to me like a glorified DM-2 when I
first read about it. So, at the time I said no,
I'l stick to trying for the DM-4 thanks. But then along comes the LS-7
and
makes me think again. It's cheaper then the DM-4, it sounds better, and
it
can record in full LPCM 96000KHZ at 24 bit. That's blue-ray audio. I
don't
know. We'll see, but I think I'll get this one instead. I mean, the
catchy
things about the DM-4 are the text to speech, speech recognition, and the
DAISY player. But, it can only record in DVD quality namely 48000KHZ at
16
bit. As much as I like the 3 above mentioned things about the DM-4, I'm
really thinking about the LS-7. What do you guys think. Which should I go
for in your opinion?

I've purchased both the Olympus Ls-7 and the DM-620 and want to post a
brief
comparison and review of the two recorders.
The short version: I'm going to return the DM-620 to amazon.
Although both recorders have three mics, the Ls-7 has better mics -- the
two
side mics stick out more than the DM-620 mics. there is no comparison re
the
quality of voice recordings; the LS-7 gives a much richer, life-like bass
sound to recordings, even when recording in MP# mode.
The DM-620 does not have a "pre-record" mode, which buffers two seconds
of
recording; the LS-7 has this mode.
The DM-620 also does not have a 100HZ or 300HZ low-cut filter; you can
either turn the low cut filter on or off on the DM-620.
The LS-7 has a 100HZ and 300HZ low cut filter choice.
both recorders have the same button configuration, which, in my opinion,
is
inferior to the Dm-420 or Dm-520. the record,/pause and stop buttons are
on
the front face of both recorders, not on the side as they are on the
DM-520.
The case on both recorders is terrible; it is really a sleeve. It does
not
have a flap that opens and closes, nor does it have the "kickstand"
feature
like the dM-520 case.
Both recorders have the same level of voice guidance; 95% of the menu
choices talk. Neither recorder gives you system memory info, nor can you
set
the clock by voice as far as I know.
But all of the record, lay, file, etc, selections speak on both
recorders.
In short, if you are looking for an excellent digital recorder, spend a
few
more bucks and get the LS-7. You won't be sorry.
