I'll just be doing out door stuff. As far as spending hundreds or thousands on mikes and mixers and stuff like that goes, hell to the yeah I would if I could and had it. I've even told Neal Eweres so. I told him I'd get one of the Sound-devices recorders if I had the thousands for them. Actually I can play 96000KHZ 24 bit files. I've already made some with Sound Forge 10. No offence taken. I just wanted to know your thoughts is all. But, yeah, I've even gotten away with 32 bit audio with Audacity too. But, that's for another time. Point is, I'm a purest, and I want to record things at the purest sound possible. But yeah, don't feel bad about what you said, it's your feelings and that's about all, and that's all I wanted to know. What you felt.

And are you planning to spend hundreds or thousands on microphones and pre-amps so you'll actually notice the difference? I don't mean to sound harsh or sarcastic, but I don't see the necessity of going to 96/24 with what is essentially a consumer recorder. Even Neal Ewers in his podcast says he rarely uses those high rates. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hamit Campos" <hamitcam...@gmail.com> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 11:37 PM Subject: RE: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620 >I thought as much.
