[all-audio] Olympus Ls-14

2019-02-09 Thread Dane Trethowan
I’m very glad you mentioned the Olympus LS-14 actually.
I tried to get hold of one last year but had to settle for the LS-P4 - no 
problem there -.
One did come up on eBay just recently so I snapped it up.
In a few days I will be able to see what the LS-14 offers and of course I’ll be 
using the excellent review Neal Ewers did on the machine as a reference.
Pity about not being able to use rechargeable batteries with the LS-14 so I’ll 
use one of the Powerbanks I have instead.

 I actually have my F8N and other recorders set to 96K 24-bit but in the 
 end its up to the individual how they want things done.
 One has to remember too that with higher bit rates then the bigger SD 
 memory card you’ll require.
 So what given the Zoom F8N can take 2 512GB memory cards? Well the so what 
 comes to quite a bit of money to lay out if you wish to proceed down that 
 path.

Ah well 48 KHZ 24 bits is the web standard anyways. I guess I'm just
coming from another perspective I heard on another of Scott's shows.
Where if you record in 96 let's say, when you resample you'll get a
better 48 24 recording. I've even used 44 thousand 100 16 bits CD audio
on mine just because the LS-14 can't play anything elase in mono. It has
to be CD quality for it to work in mono. Which I was confused by when I
got it. Because all the DMs I'd had before this even playeed 48 16 in
mono though they didn't record that. But oh well. I can't wait to hear
some F8N samples.

I can understand where the engineer is coming from in a lot of ways setting the 
sampling rate at 48KHZ.
Whilst I prefer higher myself a lot of computers would probably have trouble 
handling any more than 48K depending on the software and Sound Card being used

The Finder allows you to search for content within folders on the SD card or

I’ve not examined this option but will do in the future when I work out how to 
connect a Keyboard to the F8N though even then without speech there seems

The manual for the F8N gives specific keyboard commands to do just that.

Tab through the scheduler.  You will come to a list of scheduled events.  It
can take a little doing to identify these events, since the name you gave
may not be the name that appears in the schedule.  But you can focus on an
event, then shift+tab to read the various bits of information about the
event.  Once you identify the event you want to update, alter those fields
as needed, then click Update Event.

Hello List:  Have a question concerning the paid version of Tapin Radio
(which I do have) this version enables one to schedule an event."  But I've
been wondering (and have been told that it should be able to be done) so if
you have scheduled an event; then discover that you have made a mistake and
need to change something?  With the version I have (can't remember exactly
which version number it is) will come back with that info in a bit;
meanwhile, it would seem that once I've scheduled the task and "okayed
it".there is no way to go back and fix anything!  Am I missing something
here?  A friend of mine tried to show me how to do this!  But her version
has options that my version of Tapin Radio does not seem to have!  So if
anyone on here knows anything about how one goes about accomplishing this,
I'd love to hear from you!  Thanks in advance!

will be in a sound bag.

So I'm looking for a good microphone that I can attach to my jacket.

I would love to use my BSM Binaural microphones for this but I don't know 
exactly how to do this.  Obviously I'd need an adaptor to take the small plug 
up to quarter of an inch.  But would I need Phantom power turned on, on that 
channel?

One thing is for sure I cannot walk through the streets of Glasgow with a guide 
dog on my left, a sound bag hanging from my right and me holding a microphone 
out in front of me.  This is why I like the BSm 9 Clip on microphones.

Any advice regarding how best to use my BSM binaural microphones out of doors 
or an alternative type of body microphone that anyone can recommend would be 
very helpful.

Very best wishes.

Firstly the Zoom F8N stands on 4 rubber feet which are placed on the bottom of 
the recorder so you know where the bottom is by the feel of the rubber feet.
The top is easily identified by 4 slotted screws that hold the recorder into 
the rack mount.
There is a handle on each side of the recorder so when the recorder is standing 
on its rubber feet these each handle will be protruding from either side of the

h that's 1 of the things I've been putting to the test with my H6. That 
whole the human ear can't hear super HD 96 KHZ or 192 KHZ 24 bits audio 
thing. Now if you think of it as a frequency responce thing that should 
be true. Hell not only can't you hear it, most condencers can't. But 
it's not necessarily a frequency thing. Another ingenier on Scott 
Wilkinson's Home Theater Geeks show explained it this way. Andy you were 
right. It's a resolution thig. It's like being able to take 192 pictures 
per second. He compaired it to the rappid fire camera shutter clicking 
you hear at presidentual things or what not. The 24 bits gives you more 
open dinamic range. Things don't over load and destort as easy I suppose 
and you can get louder and quieter in 24 bits. Again someone help out 
here if you wish I'm no real audio expert like Neal or this man that 
helped you out Andy. But I'm just telling ya what I have heard other 
experts say. I say again if I had an F8N best believe it bro 192 KHZ 24 
bits is the first thing that gets set on it. Oh and on your clip on 
mics. If they use the little head phone like plug they won't use 
phantum. They use what's called plug in power. So you'll need the Zoom 
XYH6 peace or even the XY H5 peace. Then connect them to that.

Hi Dane and list.

Further to my last message a few weeks ago when I advised that I had 
secured the assistance of my local bar maid to describe  the layout 
and functions of my Zoom F8N, and that I had also secured assistance 
in setting my device up by the   Radio Operations Manager at BBC Radio 
Scotlands flagship at Pacific Quay.


Well guys all went very well indeed.

I recorded the bar maid on my old Olympus DS50, so I can return to 
that as often as I need.  The BBC engineer's visit was slightly later 
than planned and I  simply forgot all about making a recording!  Shame 
that.


Anyway Dane.  You were right, the functionality is laid out very 
simply and very tactilly and like you said, it's going to be a piece 
of cake.


Although I was wanting him to set up 24 bit WAV at 192, he recomended 
against this and droped to the standard of 40 or 48. He stated that 
the human ear really could not tell the difference.  I just wanted it 
because it was there.


After he asked me of the kind of recording I did, he recommented that 
tracks 1 through 4 should be on microphone and tracks 5 through 8 Line 
in.


Anyway I couldn't argue with a sound engineer of our capital radio 
station, haha.


Anyway it's all done now and I intend to use my old X Y and Side angle 
microphones to plug directly into the device for desk-top or table-top 
recordings.


But it's a Field Recorder so I want to get out and about in the 
streets and record things, so the clip-on microphones will be of 
little use as the device will be in a sound bag.


So I'm looking for a good microphone that I can attach to my jacket.

I would love to use my BSM Binaural microphones for this but I don't 
know exactly how to do this.  Obviously I'd need an adaptor to take 
the small plug up to quarter of an inch.  But would I need Phantom 
power turned on, on that channel?


One thing is for sure I cannot walk through the streets of Glasgow 
with a guide dog on my left, a sound bag hanging from my right and me 
holding a microphone out in front of me.  This is why I like the BSm 9 
Clip on microphones.


Any advice regarding how best to use my BSM binaural microphones out 
of doors or an alternative type of body microphone that anyone can 
recommend would be very helpful.


Very best wishes.

Andy.

I’m not laughing and I’m very lucky I guess in that I’m curious and I 
get some sighted assistance every now and then to give me a hand.
Firstly the Zoom F8N stands on 4 rubber feet which are placed on the 
bottom of the recorder so you know where the bottom is by the feel of 
the rubber feet.
The top is easily identified by 4 slotted screws that hold the 
recorder into the rack mount.
There is a handle on each side of the recorder so when the recorder is 
standing on its rubber feet these each handle will be protruding from 
either side of the recorder.
The display of the recorder therefor is on the front left with the 
control panel taking up the rest of the area on the front panel.
On the left hand side you have tracks 1 through 4 as XLR/TRS inputs 
along with the 2 SD Card slots and the multi function USB port.
On the right hand side you have tracks 5 through 8 XLR/TRS inputs 
along with the external power supply socket mini XLR out sockets, a 
sub output socket and the headphones socket.
On the back from left to right there is the Zoom Capsule connector 
which has a cover over it, 2 sockets which are for Time syncing with a 
video camera and so on and the 9 volts DC power socket for the 
supplied AC

[all-audio] Tapin Radio Question: Scheduling

2019-02-09 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hello List:  Have a question concerning the paid version of Tapin Radio
(which I do have) this version enables one to schedule an event."  But I've
been wondering (and have been told that it should be able to be done) so if
you have scheduled an event; then discover that you have made a mistake and
need to change something?  With the version I have (can't remember exactly
which version number it is) will come back with that info in a bit;
meanwhile, it would seem that once I've scheduled the task and "okayed
it".there is no way to go back and fix anything!  Am I missing something
here?  A friend of mine tried to show me how to do this!  But her version
has options that my version of Tapin Radio does not seem to have!  So if
anyone on here knows anything about how one goes about accomplishing this,
I'd love to hear from you!  Thanks in advance!
