Re: [all-audio] Looking For Equivalent to Olympus DS-40Recorder
Hello list: Well I decided on the DM720 (hopefully this will turn out to be what I am after) mainly, I wanted something that will record live music well as that's how I used my old DS-40 (someone said that the DM720 is kind of the "updated" version of the old DS series! I received the DM720 today, so now I need someone to get me going in the right direction; need to figure out where the batteries go in, as well as learn what talks and what doesn't talk! I do appreciate everyone's indulgence and suggestions!

My friend Brian has it. What exactly of the DS do you want in your new recorder? Here's the thing with the LS-P2. It's part of the LS line with is a bit more pro focused. But it is a musicians thing and stuff. It's able to record up to full glorious Blu-Ray disk quality of 96 KHZ at 24 bits per sample. So you get a little mini 1 tripple a powered stick in your pocket and go HD recorder. You'll be able to set the date and time on your own cause they've now had the british lady they record come back and say the months days hours and so on. That's basically the thing with that. Now the other thing is you don't have to wory about that little snap off mike cause the mikes are built in and the jack for the external is some place else. So there is another advantage there. But if it's a DS you are after exactly then the DS 71 if it can be found even on Amazon would be the way to go. Someone correct this if wrong but I do think that the 71 can record DVD quality 48 KHZ 16 bits. So there's that. Hence why I steped up to the LS line with the LS-14 cause I love recording at Blu-Ray quality. But the 71 doesn't do it nor do the DM's which are the consumer music player recorders. The most famous with blind people of which is the DM4.

Re: [all-audio] Looking For Equivalent to Olympus DS-40Recorder
Ah okay. Well apparently the multy track stuff and over dub is sorta kinda usable on the 100. But if you like me get thrown off easely without speach and loos track of what's happening it may not be useable enough. I'd try 1 before getting 1. Who knows save up the money for future and maybe Olympus might make something like the Zoom H6 that is maybe even more accessible then the LS-P2 and the DM720.

Re: [all-audio] Looking For Equivalent to Olympus DS-40Recorder
Yeah the over dub could'a been done like it is on the 14. Same for multy track. Unless you don't have to throw away the whole file cause you screwed 1 track? As for the epic PTR2. Ah so they've finally done it? They got rid of it. Sye. I knew it saddly had to happen at some point. For pure sillyness too. It's cause of the limits on what CF cards work. Well there's the whole CD thing too. But it wasn't picky about CD's. But 1 people don't use CD no more and 2 even if you did the PTR2 spun up like a laptop drive and so using CD kills your battery like there's no tomorrow. Trust me I remember. That's why I always used CF cards. Along with the fact that you don't then get the drive noise either. Sad to hear but oh wells. I knew that saddly it was gonna happen. In fact, I was rather plesantly shocked to find a PTR2 at the Plextalk table at the 2013 NFB convention. Cause of the card thing. Which is just silly. I mean look at the 2004 Pac Mates they exept what ever CF cards. Heck to stick with recorders and the time period of the PTR2 look at the Marantz PMD671. That thing would take what ever. It was about the price of a PTR2 as well. But the big thing with that would be phantum power from 2 XLRs and that it could record in Blu-Ray disk quality audio. PCM WAV 96 KHZ 24 bits. That's a Blu-Ray disk. But Plextalk never went above CD. Heck step up to 48 KHZ even and that is DVD at least. But anyways good to know that the multy track and over dub are at least some what usable on the 100. Neal made it sound like meh why even bother. But then again maybe he was right.

Re: [all-audio] Looking For Equivalent to Olympus DS-40Recorder
Alright well if you would like a DS I think that this then means and I don't know if this even ixists anymore, I'll suggest the DS 71. My friend Brian has it. What exactly of the DS do you want in your new recorder? Here's the thing with the LS-P2. It's part of the LS line with is a bit more pro focused. But it is a musicians thing and stuff. It's able to record up to full glorious Blu-Ray disk quality of 96 KHZ at 24 bits per sample. So you get a little mini 1 tripple a powered stick in your pocket and go HD recorder. You'll be able to set the date and time on your own cause they've now had the british lady they record come back and say the months days hours and so on. That's basically the thing with that. Now the other thing is you don't have to wory about that little snap off mike cause the mikes are built in and the jack for the external is some place else. So there is another advantage there. But if it's a DS you are after exactly then the DS 71 if it can be found even on Amazon would be the way to go. Someone correct this if wrong but I do think that the 71 can record DVD quality 48 KHZ 16 bits. So there's that. Hence why I steped up to the LS line with the LS-14 cause I love recording at Blu-Ray quality. But the 71 doesn't do it nor do the DM's which are the consumer music player recorders. The most famous with blind people of which is the DM4.
