Thanks Roger. Aside from the cost, I'm quite excited by your comments about
24-bit recording and the really nice A/D converters. The Nagra V might be
just the ticket for soundscape recording with my SASS equipped with MKH20
mikes. The results on DAT are already outstanding. And I understand that
high quality 24-bit recordings, when downsampled to 16-bit for audio CD,
sound superior to recording 16-bit in the first place. Do you agree?
An engineer friend told me not long ago that recording with the the new
Lunatec preamp and A/D converter, then inputting to DAT using SPDIF, would
produce a superior result as well, even though the recording would be
16-bit. But why not gather and record in 24-bit if one has the choice. This
would also make the recordings more futureproof.
What are your feelings about sample rate?
Lang
This is a response to Lang Elliott's question on the above.
Firstly I am a wildlife recordists of some 30 years now so my comments
should be taken with the knowledge that I know what a fellow recordists
wants from any of the kit he/she uses out there.
The Nagra V drive noise is of such a low level that it gives no trouble, as
quiet as a Portadat or D10.
The Nagra is now available with hard drives as standard, the website has'nt
caught-up yet. Mine was the first one in England last November.
Bwav full details of this new file format can be found at
www.ebu.ch/publications.html see under Tech doc 3285. Here you find-out
about your optional chunks.
I hope that answers your questions

PS New boy aiden_king_anselm need'nt worry a lot of us spend a great deal of
our time recording and trying out new techniques, but we do get hung-up on
the kit we use at times. As they say it's not what you've got it how you use
it.
I think that answers Bill Rankin's question as well !!
