I love the LS-7 too. I wanted one but I wander now, should I just weight and just get the LS-100? It looks like to me atat least like that's what I should do.

I don't use it for recording music; I'm not a musician, but I have used it to make audio recordings. The audio quality is excellent, especially if you turn ON the central microphone. The LS-7 is about the same size as the DM-series of Olympus recorders, and it has three mics -- two that angle out to either side of the recorder and one in the middle. It does have some weaknesses. I don't like the button placement. Unlike other Olympus recorders, the buttons are on the top, not the sides, so, if you put it in a case, you can push the buttons by mistake. Second, you have to push the Record button twice -- once to put it in "pause" mode and a second time to actually start recording. In a noisy room, it's often hard for me to hear the beeps that indicate I've pushed it a second time or whether it's gone into Pause mode. Third is the case. The previous Olympus recorders I have owned had a nice case with a "kickstand"stand" on the back that let you position the recorder upright. This recorder has a cheap case, kind of like a glov, you put the recorder into. I hate it. In fact, I'm using one of my old cases for my LS-7. It does have full voice guidance -- except for getting System information (how much memory you have left, etc) and a couple of other menu items that don't read. That's my thumbnail review.

And yeah, Neal Ewers did a demo of it on Blind cool tech. and Hope did one on the Olympus audio blog. I can't remember how to spell her last name it's the girl that runs Audio Mirror FM. She's done some podcasts on blind cool tech too. -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Hank Smith Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 8:29 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: update on multi track recorder with speech guidance there any reviews I can get on the ls 70 for now? thanks Hank On 12/21/2011 6:12 PM, Hamit Campos wrote: > Yip yahoo!
