< It s a good idea to record low with digital if you don't have control of the 
incoming sound level. We don't have the worry of overcoming tape hiss

Given the marginal analog front end electronics in most portable recorders I 
take the opposite approach. I record as hot as possible short of digital overs. 
The problem to overcome is not noise in the storage medium but noise in the 
substandard chips in front of the ADC.
