Rob, I do hear what you're saying, but is the kind of thing you're
talking about likely to be undertaken with this kind of cheap recorder?
Prior to buying mine I was half thinking about getting hold of one of
the obsolete MZ-RH1's, but when one sold on eBay for =A320 ($40) more than=
I could buy an LS-10 for, I changed my mind. I clearly am intending no
disrespect to all the people still using these machines. I'm just trying
to put in perspective the comparative cost compared to the sort of
machine a professional recordist would use. As I stated in my first post
to this group, I am a beginner at this game, and don't at this stage
don't envisage undertaking any of the things you mention below, and I
think that if I did I'd be using something a little different for the
work; a couple of Fostex FR2-LE's at the least.
In answer to Roy's question, I personally WAS using compression (lowest
quality MP3) I will try and make time to do another test tomorrow as a
comparison using wave, purely for curiosity's sake. When I do I'll post
my results. I have a strange feeling that other owners will be trying
this ahead of me though.
Meanwhile I'll more happily spend time in the field, getting used to my
new toy, once the rain has gone away!
