Recorder question
Hi all, I'm going to be going to a heavy metal concert in October. It's going to be in a club, not a stadium or anything like that. Now I have an Iriver H340 with rockbox and a pair of external mics. They're custom made, and I'm not sure exactly what the capsules are. My question is, would this work, or would anyone recommend getting an H2, or something else? I can't really recreate the conditions in the house, or else I'd be able to test it myself and see if it'd work. So I'm asking those who've tried it, or who have the capability to put out lots of sound and see how the Iriver handles it with the latest Rockbox. Or those of you who've tried recording concerts or other similar loud stuff with lots of bass with any of the other popular recorders out there for your opinions.

Re: Recorder question
Should work fine, may I suggest you monitor the source so you know what things are going to sound like before you start recording?

More on recorders
Hi, So I did some testing with the H340. And even with stuff I can put it through here, it's not going to cut it. Plus the fact that it only works properly 1 out of 4 times. So now my question is what would be a good recorder that isn't too noisy, will record for a few hours on a battery charge and will accept stereo mic input? I've looked at the H2, the R09 HR and the Olympus LS10. If there are more, or someone has an old one that they want to sell, let me know.

Re: More on recorders
Hi Brandon, First of all, stay away from the LS10. The limiter in that thing would make the concert or anything loud just sound wrong. I would go for the R09HR, as it seems one of the most accessible, besides the DS50 of course, but you definately don't want to record a concert on that... --Check out my radio! http://www.jls-radio.com -- On Monday, September 01, 2008 at 09:20 PM (GMT), Brandon Hicks wrote: Hi, So I did some testing with the H340.

av reciver or stereo reciever

Re: av reciver or stereo reciever
Ok this is my opinion for what its worth, there's a really nice bargain-priced amp out there with surround-soung, yep its only 5.1 but if you're looking for a genuine bargain and you're really interested in 2 channel sound rather than really interested in rearranging your room for surround-sound and you just want a good stereo amp (despite the extra 5.1 affect) then take a look at the unit found at http://www.oo.com.au/Multi_Channel_Power_Amplifier_P7417.cfm Of course the other way you can go is to do some digging and find that second-hand treasure for a song, too many to mention here . but one model I like which seems to come up every so often around the traps is the Technics SUZ11, its a very small slim line AMp and delivers 50 watts RMS per channel, its small enough to tuck under your arm so if you're in the habit of rearanging things or needing an amp small enough to take to a small hall with a bit of punch then this is the amp. Not much to rave about in the features steaks, just 3 inputs (fono, AUX and Tuner) and 2 stereo speaker outputs (A and B) but in the Hi-Fi game? Well sound quality comes well before features . I personally don't believe in buying receivers, I prefer to match a good tuner with my amp but each to their own, in the tuner steaks there are 2 kinds, one which gives you a narrow band with good sensitivity and the other giving you a nice wide band, great audio quality but not so sensitive. I have 2 different Denon tuners here each fitting the characteristics I've just outlined but e warned, even on the second-hand market these little beauties fetch a few hundred dollars and their FM quality is truly outstanding. As a final thought, if I were going to go for a receiver and I wasn't at all too concerned about surround-sound? Well give the Denon AVR2000 a look over, fetches about $300.00 on the second-hand market but I've seen them go higher in price, a truly outstanding 5.1 receiver with 80 watts RMS per channel (that includes the 2 rear channels) and an excellent wide band tuner. Did I answer any of your questions? Probably not, I just rambled .

Re: Recording Basics
If you are hearing hum even with out the mike then you might check your speaker conections. try another pair of speakers to see if you still get the hum. Also, try your currant speakers with another computer. - Original Message - From: Kelly Ford To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2008 10:48 AM Subject: Recording Basics Hello, I'd appreciate any advice folks who have more experience doing PC recording can share on basic setup to produce reasonable recordings of screen reader audio along with voice recording. I have some experience in the area but most of my recording has been making edits to sound files I record with another audio recorder. I have a Sound Blaster 2ZS and my biggest frustration is that the microphone audio volume sounds low. I'm using the what you hear option to do my recording at this point. I have the playback of the microphone enabled in the sound settings. I also have the 20DB boost option checked. If I turn the microphone volume up to a level that sounds good to me, I get some electronic hum mixed in that I don't like. The hum is there even if there is no microphone connected to the microphone jack of the Sound Blaster. As an experiment I tried a notebook computer I have and the sound card on that is just some intel integrated audio card but the sound was much cleaner out of the box. I'm using Goldwave for my recording program. I'd like to get more into this for some projects I'm doing. I may go down the road of an external mixer at some point but for now I'd like to see if I can get the software solutions to work. I put a sampel of the audio and hum I'm talking about at http://workshop.kellyford.org/mctest.mp3.

Re: More on recorders
Hi Why not check out the olympus ds models (ds30, ds40, ds50)? They have good quality and good battery life, and they do a lot more than just record- so, you get quite a bit of bang for your buck, in my oppinion. Have a good day from Tyler C.

Re: More on recorders
the Olympus recorders are to punchy with the limiters. the DS series is good for voice which is what they are made for, but not for music, especially heavy metal. the handling noise is terrible too. - Original Message - From: "constantine (on laptop)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 12:50 AM Subject: Re: More on recorders > Hi > > Why not check out the olympus ds models (ds30, ds40, ds50)?
