 some respects, the BP DT is a PTR3 so to speak. I just wanted to see
 what people thought. There must be enough people buying the PTR2 as

 It's not fair though since they want the same amount of money as in

RE: Handheld recorder with recording timer

2013-03-12 Thread Hamit Campos
Ah, I've heard of that sound card. But I think we'd better change the
subject line before we get real deep into that. I guess no one else really
wanted to debate the whole thing about the PTR2 then. Oh well. No but
seriously, I guess it depends on weather one is willing to take the risk and
deal with the limitations of it. The CDDA CDs you can find on Amazon too.
Those will work no mater what. I've used a whole bunch of different ones
back in the day. I don't that much any more. By the way, CDDA is the format
of the regular CD, the ones you play on your stereo or in your car. That
brings me to another point. That was another really cool thing about the
PTR1 and 2. You could record live to CD. It was especially cool when you
could do it in the regular music CD format which is CDDA or compact Disk
Digital Audio. Now, there use to be a way to do this on a MAC, but I've
never heard how to do it on a PC. So yeah, but I guess it doesn't really
matter since no one really cares about CDs any more. Sure you can pass on
the things you record on your LS-100 or the sound devices recorders to CD
later by connecting a writer to them, but it's not the same as recording
live to CD.

2013-03-12 Thread Hamit Campos
Ah interesting. Well, that would help a lot if you could, but the thing with
the PTR1 and 2 goes beyond can I get a good deal, it goes to can I get a
type 1 or 2 one. All you can get in stores here is Ultra 2. The PTR1 hates
those. It beeps and locks up. Then it goes crasy when you take out. I was
told by Typhony at IRTI that the PTR2 would do the same. I found the Hitachi
Micro drive cards, so I guess one could use those. She said that the PTR2
seemed to be picky about microdrives too though. Basicly, the problem here
is the limitations of the PTR2. Limitations that are silly and some what
childish in my book. I mean, it's 2005 when this thing came out so it should
be USB 2 capible, they should have gotten rid of the limitations on the
memory size of cards you can put into it, and the limitation on the
interface of said cards. What makes it even stranger is that this is the
Japanese so they are usually ahead on stuff. I know that the PTR2 only came
out cause of the led ban, but come on guys, why waste the chance. Make the
thing better. Right? What do you think? I say they wasted an exelent chance.

I thought I heard someone tell me that you can in the states get a 32-gig
thumb drive for onlyy $20 U.S., which I think sound reasonable, but it seems
that these days, there are many choices of flashcards to choose from.

 Hi
 Here in Europe you can get sd cards for a very reasonable amount, not 
 sure about cf flash cards as I never use them.

 Yeh, I get what you say in many ways, I do feel however
 that why do they
 stil make the machine if it might not be so much in use
 anymore.
 They don't update the hardware either. But I think if you
 no why you want
 it
 and if you no you can use it alot its stil werth the
 money, but you rite
 that most people will have to compare the amount of money
 with what they
 get
 for it. But I guess if you buy the sandisk cards, chances
 for locking up is
 maybe less, although I couldn't test that.

 Oh yeah, you can find them alright. But when you want to
 get one for
 the
 PTR2 it gets harder. I'll tell you abit why just so as
 not to leav you
 hanging, but I won't go too deep as it maybe off topic.
 But perhaps not.
 Here it is. Basicly the problem is this, heck you can buy
 them at
 staples but it's the ultra 2 ones. The PTR1 and 2 want
 either type 1
 or 2. They don't like Ultra 2. They lock up when you put
 one in.
 That's the company's falt though. I don't get why the
 PTR2 didn't
 accept type Ultra 2 cards since it came out in 2005 I
 think. Or was it
 6? Is it too little too Late? Is that something that they
 could still
 fix with firmware if they chose to? Or would they have to
 reforge the
 PTR2 to put a new card reader in it? The cards are
 essentially the
 same but for speed. Like I said, Amazon has them, or at
 least 2, but
 one I'm not sure of, and the Sandisk one is $40 for only
 4 GB.
 IS it just me or does any one here agree that $40 is a
 little too much
 for only 4GB. I actually wander about this too, and this
 maybe another
 topic for a whole new thread. Is something like the PTR2
 even worth
 buying anymore?
 Or
 is it just just for mastaljicreasons. You know what I
 mean? It's just
 cool, one may just love it just because and for almost
 just collection
 purposes you may want one. But it's $895. With all the
 limitations and
 let's be honest, dying or dead tech in it, is $895 to get
 it  from
 IRTI even fair anymore? I don't know if anyone wants to
 debate this or
 least make their views known, but there you have mine.
 But yeah, to
 get off the sope box and back to the main point, you can
 find the
 cards, but it's not guarantied the ones you may find will
 work.

Why the 788-t? Well, listen to the recordings when Neal uses the Rode NT1-A
on his 744-T and you'll hear why. Mind, this is MP3. So now imagine what it
would sound like in full LPCM 192KHZ 24 BYT. Then, you can take those 8
track recordings you make on the 788-T made with 8 Rode Nt1-A mikes and put
them into something like ProTools, and make them into 7.1 surround sound
files. Now, tell me, how does that grabb you? I love that idea.

 Yeh, I get what you say in many ways, I do feel however that why do

 They don't update the hardware either. But I think if you no why you
 want it and if you no you can use it alot its stil werth the money,
 but you rite that most people will have to compare the amount of money
 with what they get for it. But I guess if you buy the sandisk cards,
 chances for locking up is maybe less, although I couldn't test that.

 Here it is. Basicly the problem is this, heck you can buy them at
 staples but it's the ultra 2 ones. The PTR1 and 2 want either type 1
 or 2. They don't like Ultra 2. They lock up when you put one in.
 That's the company's falt though. I don't get why the PTR2 didn't
 accept type Ultra 2 cards since it came out in 2005 I think. Or was
 it 6? Is it too little too Late? Is that something that they could
 still fix with firmware if they chose to? Or would they have to
 reforge the
 PTR2 to put a new card reader in it? The cards are essentially the
 same but for speed. Like I said, Amazon has them, or at least 2, but
 one I'm not sure of, and the Sandisk one is $40 for only 4 GB.
 IS it just me or does any one here agree that $40 is a little too
 much for only 4GB. I actually wander about this too, and this maybe
 another topic for a whole new thread. Is something like the PTR2 even
 worth buying anymore?
 Or
 is it just just for mastaljicreasons. You know what I mean? It's just
 cool, one may just love it just because and for almost just
 collection purposes you may want one. But it's $895. With all the
 limitations and let's be honest, dying or dead tech in it, is $895 to
 get it  from IRTI even fair anymore? I don't know if anyone wants to
 debate this or least make their views known, but there you have mine.
 But yeah, to get off the sope box and back to the main point, you can
 find the cards, but it's not guarantied the ones you may find will work.

about some lite scribe hm? How do those ideas grab you? Then to sweeten
the deal, add on all the new stuff. The wireless stuff, the internet radio
and so on. That would be one cool PTR unit. I don't know if they would call
it a PTR3 if they did that. But it would be cool though. Remember this, the
only reason according to Mike Lang for the PTR2 was the led thing. So, it's
like some people say about Vista VS. Win 7. Win 7 is what Vista should have
been. The PTR2 is what the PTR1 could and should have been. No more, no less
unfortunately. What a miss of a chance. They could have made it USB 2.0
right there on the spot, they could have opened the limit on memory size for
the CF cards, you know there are 32 GB ones. Pluss, ready it for Ultra II
cards. They missed on so many points. How sad when you really think about
it. But oh well, at least we have the BP DT. I hope the pre amps are as good
or better then the PTR2, and I hope they brought down the floor noise as
well as inproved the Auto Gane Controll.  It was and is too week on the
PTR2. Especially with cheep mikes. Have you tried one? A Book Port Desk Top
that is?

Yes, I also wish they could update it again. But yes aph just use the
plextalk firmware wich they customize a little bit.

 what feel like a PTR 2 from what someone hinted at on the Accessible 
 Devices podcast? Interesting if it is so. After all I guess APH has 
 teemed up with the Plextalk guys. So, I guess that in some respects, 
 the BP DT is a PTR3 so to speak. I just wanted to see what people 
 thought. There must be enough people buying the PTR2 as is though if 
 they continue to sell it as is and not modernize it. It's not fair 
 though since they want the same amount of money as in 2006.

 Wel, maybe something to add here is that if this is the case with 
 ptr2, then maybe it might be better to go for the bookport dt model 
 instead, as it offer many of the ptr2 features with some extras and of 
 corse newer hardware, and also alot cheaper. Just a thought.

Oh yeah, you can find them alright. But when you want to get one for the
PTR2 it gets harder. I'll tell you abit why just so as not to leav you
hanging, but I won't go too deep as it maybe off topic. But perhaps not.
Here it is. Basicly the problem is this, heck you can buy them at staples
but it's the ultra 2 ones. The PTR1 and 2 want either type 1 or 2. They
don't like Ultra 2. They lock up when you put one in. That's the company's
falt though. I don't get why the PTR2 didn't accept type Ultra 2 cards since
it came out in 2005 I think. Or was it 6? Is it too little too Late? Is that
something that they could still fix with firmware if they chose to? Or would
they have to reforge the PTR2 to put a new card reader in it? The cards are
essentially the same but for speed. Like I said, Amazon has them, or at
least 2, but one I'm not sure of, and the Sandisk one is $40 for only 4 GB.
IS it just me or does any one here agree that $40 is a little too much for
only 4GB. I actually wander about this too, and this maybe another topic for
a whole new thread. Is something like the PTR2 even worth buying anymore? Or
is it just just for mastaljicreasons. You know what I mean? It's just cool,
one may just love it just because and for almost just collection purposes
you may want one. But it's $895. With all the limitations and let's be
honest, dying or dead tech in it, is $895 to get it  from IRTI even fair
anymore? I don't know if anyone wants to debate this or least make their
views known, but there you have mine. But yeah, to get off the sope box and
back to the main point, you can find the cards, but it's not guarantied the
ones you may find will work.

 you hanging, but I won't go too deep as it maybe off topic. But perhaps
not.
 Here it is. Basicly the problem is this, heck you can buy them at 
 staples but it's the ultra 2 ones. The PTR1 and 2 want either type 1 
 or 2. They don't like Ultra 2. They lock up when you put one in.
 That's the company's falt though. I don't get why the PTR2 didn't 
 accept type Ultra 2 cards since it came out in 2005 I think. Or was 
 it 6? Is it too little too Late? Is that something that they could 
 still fix with firmware if they chose to? Or would they have to 
 reforge the
 PTR2 to put a new card reader in it? The cards are essentially the 
 same but for speed. Like I said, Amazon has them, or at least 2, but 
 one I'm not sure of, and the Sandisk one is $40 for only 4 GB.
 IS it just me or does any one here agree that $40 is a little too 
 much for only 4GB. I actually wander about this too, and this maybe 
 another topic for a whole new thread. Is something like the PTR2 even 
 worth buying anymore?
 Or
 is it just just for mastaljicreasons. You know what I mean? It's just 
 cool, one may just love it just because and for almost just 
 collection purposes you may want one. But it's $895. With all the 
 limitations and let's be honest, dying or dead tech in it, is $895 to 
 get it  from IRTI even fair anymore? I don't know if anyone wants to 
 debate this or least make their views known, but there you have mine. 
 But yeah, to get off the sope box and back to the main point, you can 
 find the cards, but it's not guarantied the ones you may find will work.

 well all I know is that the custom settings have both a start time

 Now I don't know how reliable any of that is as I don't use those 
 features. In fact sense I got my ls 100 I don't use the pocket for

 There is a clock on there for some reason.

 Weight, are you sure? What he wants is where you say I want you to 
 start recording at 7 and stop at 10 for instance. What I remember

I am wondering whether any of the hand held devices such as but not 
limited to the  VR Stream, the Plextalk pocket, and the Hims units 
have some form of a  recording  timer.
 Often, I wish to record something from the TV or the radio a program 
which  airs late at night, and I do not wish to  change everything 
around so as to connect to my computer. Presently, my  only other 
option is a talking VCR which is already obsolete, and at some point 
can  no longer  be repaired.  So, please tell me if other such options 
are available.

 Thanks.
