hi joe.
i have never heard about these interesting marsupial.
i hope that you'll be able to record any thing you want, and i would be
happy if you could share it with us as i am interested about sound
activities in deserts...
good luck.

hi walter.
i read many posts about enthousiasm for ATRAC systems.
i am wondering...
the last time i used a minidisc, it was more than 5 years and it was not
convincing for me...
i make field recording mainly for composing. and usually i make
processing on the sounds i gathered. at least a strong eq. and what i
felt with MD, is that some sounds that are at very low level, when they
are pushed up with eq, are more "crispy", more "damaged" comparing with
the use of DAT.
i use oftenly binaural microphone (the sennheiser one). and the feeling
of space, the relief seemed to be more flatten with MD.
please tell me : are the more recent ATRAC much more precise for that ?
(i have made these comparisons with first cheap MD recorders)
i am still happy with my TCD-D8, but i would like to know...

friendly,

yannick.

ps : sorry for the poor english writing, i am french...
