I recently looked into the Tascom and Zoom multi track recorders and
concluded that they would be a nightmare for a blind user due to the
heavy menu involvement to do just about everything. Olympus is
supposedly about to come out with a high quality eight-track recorder
with talking menus. See below:
Olympus LS-100
Olympus has announced the latest addition to its popular LS series of
digital recorders with the addition of the LS-100 linear PCM audio
recorder. Aimed at musicians and audio enthusiasts, it comes with a
combination of professional interconnects, high quality sound recording,
multitracking and extra features in a convenient pocket size.
Olympus LS-100 Audio Recorder
It’s an impressive little device with a matching list of features
- two internal 90-degree directional stereo condenser microphones with a
frequency response of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and capable of capturing sound
pressure levels up to 140 dB (which is about as loud as you’d really
want to get).
- uncompressed 24 bit/96 kHz Linear PCM digital recording saved to the
internal 4GB memory or on SD (up to 2GB) / SDHC (up to 32GB) / SDXC (up
to 64GB) cards.
- separate audio and system circuitry to keep the signal clean.
- low cut filter at either 100 Hz or 300 Hz to eliminate low frequency
background noise.
- two quarter-inch XLR / standard phone combo jacks, supporting phantom
power at 48/24 volts to power high-quality external microphones.
- 8 track multitracking, with independent volume and pan control.
- tuner and metronome.
- Lissajous measurement which shows the phase difference betweenthe left
and right mics.
- direct CD mastering.
- 2? LCD screen and all-metal body.
“The Olympus LS series has been a favourite of musicians, artists and
music lovers, and the LS-100 is an evolution in this series designed
with the working musician, specifically, in mind,” said Amy Leslie, Sr.
Marketing & Business Development Manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc.
“For songwriting sessions, band rehearsals, live performances,
broadcasting, or really anything that requires the highest quality of
audio recording, the LS-100 is an ideal, all-encompassing recording
solution.”
Nevermind all that, it just looks cool. Full details on the LS-100 are
here and it will be available from all good stores in February 2012 for
$399.

GOod morning all,
I apologize if this is off topic, but I'm new and looking for some assistance
with audio recording.
I'm considering purchasing a multi track recorder. I've done this type of
recording with both a PC and a mac, and truthfully, I'm looking for an easier
way to get the original recordings of separate tracks, with the idea of
mastering on the Mac post recording.
I'm considering the tascam dp -008, tascam dp -02 and the tascam 2488 NEO.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these unites, or is there a unit
out there that other blind musicians find more appropriate.
I'd appreciate any feedback you may have.
Warm Regards:
Matt Diemert
