Re: [all-audio] Looking For Equivalent to Olympus DS-40Recorder
How did you get the software? or did you have it from an earlyer DM recorder? The LSs for what ever reason don't come with that software. Only the DM's do and the DSs did too. Yeah I knew the PTR2 woulda died off at some point. I like I said before was so pleasently surprised to see 1 once again in 2013. If only it didn't have the 6 gig limit for compact flash cards and the interface limits for the cards it would stil be good. There are such things as 128 gig compact flash cards. Then they also have some fast spead thing that Sound Devices recorders support. On 12/24/2017 5:22 PM, Aidan wrote: I just use the sinority software to sync the pc date and time on the 14.

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.

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. Lots of people me included can get easely thrown off with out speach or beeps or nothin. On 12/24/2017 7:33 AM, Aidan wrote: Well, the ptr2 has bin discontinued recently.

Re: [all-audio] Looking For Equivalent to Olympus DS-40Recorder
I just ordered myself the LS P2 today. I was tempted to get the LS 100 but couldn't find anyone to satisfy my curiosity about its accessibility and performance versus the LS P2. So I opted for the one that cost less. I do hope to use it for both live voice and music recording though.
