Jason, I am also a recording musician and have been recording several live concerts a month with it for the past year. I am running the outputs of my mixer into the auxelery inputs but am not entirely happy with the results. The recording indicators only give you a reading when you are in record pause mode so many of my live rcordings wind up distorted when I fail to anticipate how loud the performer is going to get. Eventually I expect I will have to invest in an outboard compressor/limiter to resolve this issue.
Also, I love this product but have been very disappointed with the copy protection logic that is built into it. You will find that even though you are using the analog inputs to create original personal music recordings that the Plextalk assumes that you are stealing pre-recorded music and will not let you make copies of your copies. Thus once you have recorded an original recording to RAM be sure and make as many copies from this original as you need before erasing it since you will have difficulty making copies of copies.

RFBD used to provide keys on CD, but they changed this some time ago, so now it is done by them. I am not sure whether this is still the case. 2. There is an audible meter on the PTR1 for recording. It will tell you whether the signal is too high, normal or low. 3. You can use a stereo microphone using a powered Pre-Amp through the line socket.

I am very excited to have joined this list and look forward to hearing from all of you. The PlexTalk sounds like just the device I need for my live recording requirements. My name is Jason and I am from Meriden, CT. I am a professional musician and sometimes need to record my performances (or the performances of others). I wish I had known about the PlexTalk before I had gotten my Marantz CDR 300, but luckily, I have been able to sell that unit on eBay and am saving up the money to buy a PlexTalk. I have some questions about the unit that I thought I'd ask all of you: 1. Does RFB&D need to be the one to put their copyright protection (I think it is called a UAK or something to that effect) on to the PlexTalk or can we do it ourselves with a CD they can send us? I ask only because I would like to order my unit from IRTI, but have heard they first need to ship it to RFB&D who will install the necessary firmware and then ship it to us. That sounds like a bit of a project and leaves room for some problems. I could get it from RFB&D themselves, but they don't seem to offer the deal(s) that IRTI offers. What are your suggestions please? 2. How does one adjust the recording volume level to the appropriate setting? Is there an audible VU meter on the unit itself? 3. What you recommend I do for recording in stereo? I have a stereo mic, but as far as I understand it, the PlexTalk has a mono mic input. I realize there is a stereo Line In, however, and wonder if that can be utilized in some way? Thanks so much for dealing with my questions. I look forward to getting to know everyone here and also to interacting with all of you. Thanks very much. Best regards and Happy New Year, -- Jason Castonguay Health, freedom, security.
