RE: The state of Olympus recorders these days
Ah so I forgot this the P2 does have blue tooth. So you can play from blue tooth stuff on it. That's why I thought of it for a few seconds. Oh I said, I could use my Bose sound link mini with this. But when it was compaired to the LS7 I gave it up and got the 14. Though my heart really wanted the 100. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2016 11:26 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: The state of Olympus recorders these days So I have the DM4 and Dm7, soon to be getting the LS14 and Ls100, I use all for different recording applications as some models have strengths whilst others have weaknesses.

RE: The state of Olympus recorders these days
Yes I too have a 14. It's pretty good. As for the P 2 well it's little. It's a pocket thing like a DM or the LS 7 was. So it's not gonna have the big fat studio sound. I wanted the 100 and do wana work towards getting 1 some day but for now it's too much for the money I have. But I would have loved a 100. But yes for what it's worth the 14 is very good. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Robin Frost Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2016 11:42 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: The state of Olympus recorders these days Hi, wow I thought the ls-14 had been discontinued and replaced by the ls-pII which I didn't find to be as good in quality as the 14 to my ears though it does finally boast a talking clock setting menu yay for that I guess.

RE: The state of Olympus recorders these days
Maybe not on a technical aspect, but you could give us your twist on it. What you make of the H6. It sounds cool to me but still too hissy. I wander about Zoom's new F8 $800 recorder. That one's epic. You can hook 8 mikes in it but again I think hard on it cause Zoom always hisses like tape. So to me tape is history and thus so should be that hiss. Aiincient history it should be. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2016 11:46 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: The state of Olympus recorders these days Okay, I didn’t know that model had been discontinued, I was able to get one so may as well use it .

RE: The state of Olympus recorders these days
Yes you should listen to them first. I've heard the Marantz PMD671 which doesn't ixist no more apparently but I liked it kinda. I will note this and this is also a problem with Zoom for me too. It was too hissy. I don't want nor like hiss. It's to reminiscent of Casset tapes. That's why I kinda think on it when it comes to the H6. Epic that you could make a 5.1 recording out of it, but too hissy. So see if you can find examples of the new Marantz recorders and see for your self. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Anders Holmberg Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2016 4:46 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: The state of Olympus recorders these days Hi!

Re: The state of Olympus recorders these days
I’ve not been able to see a Marantz recorder as yet so can’t comment but as I said earlier, there are now more portable recorders than you can poke a stick at and I’m most interested - not only in the Marantz - but the offerings from Taskam, hard to imagine a Taskam Porter Studio for $400 now, I remember those brutes used to be in the thousands. > On 22 Sep. 2016, at 6:45 pm, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > Hi! > How are the marantz recorders in an accessible point of view? > Are they smaller than the zoom h6 which imho is to big. > I want a smaller field recorder but maybe this will reduce the quality of the > recording. > /A >> 22 sep. 2016 kl. 05:45 skrev Dane Trethowan : >> >> Okay, I didn’t know that model had been discontinued, I was able to get one >> so may as well use it . >> I’ll write more on the Zoom H6 shortly though other list members have pretty >> much covered that recorder so there’s probably little point me saying all >> that much more . >> >>> On 22 Sep. 2016, at 1:41 pm, Robin Frost wrote: >>> >>> Hi, >>> wow I thought the ls-14 had been discontinued and replaced by the ls-pII >>> which I didn't find to be as good in quality as the 14 to my ears though it >>> does finally boast a talking clock setting menu yay for that I guess.

Re: The state of Olympus recorders these days
You’re right there, I think the one I just don’t like at all is the DM7, its a beast to get around at times and feels so cheaply made and yet it does have some very practical features if you dig hard enough to find them. > On 22 Sep. 2016, at 1:48 pm, Robin Frost wrote: > > Hi, > No worries I just got another for safe keeping myself go you I say and hey I > wouldn't hold back the more opinions the better.
