AW: portable recorder advice...



are there any recorders available (solid state or HD) which allow the
use of FLAC? Oh my, it just seems that there is another reason to use
the coresound variant ;-)

(and again, Tom, sorry for sending this as a private email to you...)

speaking of mindisc artifacts...there was this friend of mine (an audio
AMS electronics specialist, who actually built this power amp prototype
with a SNR of better than 156dB (unweighted!) and retained a SNR of
>140dB in the series production) who when we talked about the Magneto
plugin shortly after it was released predicted a "Midisco" plugin which
might be released 15 years in the future...nine more years to go ;-)

If you are intending to re-use and/or master your material, I strongly
suggest using uncompressed audio and not a mini-disc.  the ATRAC
encoding that's used in MD is very smart and careful to try to only
remove information that's not audible -- but if you for example apply EQ
to your track after encoding you might find some pretty dreadful
artefacts.
