I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a degree of background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case when set to wave recording and manual mic input levels. Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in port, so I am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are using an attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels? That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways, and for so many reasons: its extraordinarily flexible and effective voice recording capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially its super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device. Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording level feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders.

Agreed! accessability is a very important factor but it doesn't equate to performance. I use the olympus DS-71 which does an excellent job for both mike and line in recordings. Yes, you can monitor through headphones. I also like the fact that it uses AAA batteries that makes it easy to swap them out if needed.

Hurricane City on the Mac
Hi everyone. I don't know if Mac-related audio questions are off topic for this list. If so, please forgive me. I have actually tried this question on the Mac Visionaries list with no results, so I am posting it here. Since very happily switching to the Mac a couple months or so ago, I have been able to do the great majority of audio things I did under Windows, but there is one exception. I follow extreme weather and natural disasters as a hobby. One of my favorite sites for this is www.hurricanecity.com. However, I have not been able to get this site to work on my iMac under Snowy. I know that VLC does play Media Player streams, but it does not seem to pick up Hurricane City, I suppose because of the imbedded player. Is there any way at all that I can listen to this stream on my Mac? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

It is fare as a sound effects recorder, great for in-door and out-door voice capture. A Pocket with quality external mics, or another higher grade recorder that isn't accessible will be better for full spectrum sound, but the DM-520 is actually pretty good and definitely the best all-rounder for its size.

This is a very detailed post. I have both units - which I am happy about, because as a conference speaker, the DS-71 (like the DS-50) mic remote control and detachable mic option is perfect for capturing my presentations. I can wire myself up, and just flick the switch on the remote to start and stop recording - almost total reliability that record has activated. If, you have a DS-50, you can use its remote control and Mic with the DS-71. You can not, however, use the DS-50 or DS-71 remote control on the DM-520! The price I paid for the DS-71 was nearly double that of the DM-520, and in many ways the DS-71 is an inferior product, using an older generation of technology. I actually think someone stuffed up somewhere in releasing the DS-71 when they did, it feels like a legacy product that was very delayed to market. Still speaking about the DS-71, the recording quality is pretty good, and you do notice the Wave recording improvement over the DS50 and the WMA on the DS-71. However, it is not as good as the audio recording quality of the DM-520, and has more noise floor and Mic preamp noise (I think). In addition, the external stereo Microphone for the DS-71, though an improvement on the DS-50 mic is definitely inferior to the in-built stereo Mics of the DM-520, especially if you want to use any of the zoom recording modes that The DS-71 offers. I don't actually believe that they fully tuned the DS-71 mics for the Zoom technology. I would never use any of the zoom options on the DS-71, but I do use them for some situations (especially Narrow, and sometimes wide) on the DM-520. The narrow setting is good for keeping sounds localised, and the wide option is good for spreading the left right mike pickup to catch several speakers from a single location. If you want to hear how the DM-520 Narrow zoom mic setting works in open air situations, you can go to my CoffeeCast Conversations podcast at http://coffeecast.posterous.com Other advantages of the DS-71 are that it buffers key presses far better. For flipping back and forth between recordings in a folder, results are better. Also it doesn't exhibit the annoying audio click through the speaker when you move to different recordings. Both these problems with the DM-520 are bugs, and I do hope a firmware release will address them, as they do frustrate me, when using the DM-520 as a voice recorder. Also, it is necessary, occasionally, to reboot the DM-520 to fix an occasional bug where recording is flawed and choppy. This means that absolute trust of capturing a recording
A small demo of Audio Hijack Pro for the Mac
Hi! For those who are interested I've put up a small demo of the Audio Hijack Pro application for the Apple Mac. This application hijacks other applications or audio sources on the Mac, you can then record that output, re-direct the output to another application or audio source etc. The demo is in the form of an audio tweet on my twitter, its the first audio tweet for Monday, 23 November 2009 and can be found on my twitter page at http://www.twitter.com/grtdane This demonstration involves me leaving a message on my Skype voicemail, listening to it through Skype on my Mac and hijacking same with Audio Hijack Pro., recording the result and saving the recording to an audio MP3 file, I thought the quality was surprisingly good given that I was using a VOIP phone link to one of my Skype-in numbers.

Re: Hurricane City on the Mac
Okay, I've looked at this site and here's what you have to do. Firstly forget about Itunes as its not going to help you here, you'll need Flip for Mac, this player takes Windows Media streams and can launch them through Safari Web Browser or in Stand-Alone windows in Qucktime Player, VLC or etc. You can download Flip For Mac from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/flip4macwindowsmediacomponentsforquicktime.html I'm surprised the people at Mac Visionaries - Or Mac Vision Loss if you prefer smile - couldn't or wouldn't answer this question so may I give you an alternative, subscribe to mac-access go to http://www.tft-bbs.com and follow the links.

Hi Dane. Thanks so much for writing back on this. My understanding though is that Flip For Mac is not compatible with Snowy, but maybe I can try installing it anyway to see if I can at least get the plugin I need?
