It seems to me that the description in the Gizmag review mirrors exactly wh=
at one has to do with the LS-10. You select a folder, press Rec once to go =
into record-pause mode to set your levels, then press Rec a second time to =
initiate recording.

Of course, if you always record in the same folder the first step is omitte=
d in practice. I assume the same is true on the LS-100; the reviewer was si=
mply being thorough.

Most of the extra features of the LS-100 (multi-track editing, chromatic tu=
ner, metronome, etc.) are designed for musicians. I also think the unit is =
butt ugly. However, it does have XLR and phantom power but I am not sure wh=
at current is provided or how this compares to other recorders.
