RE: Digital Recorders
HI Dane Thanks for this. I'm going for the Plextor, partly because a back-up DAISY player is a bonus, but mainly because my primary pro' recorder is the Sony PCM D50 which is usable rather than fully accessible, so rather than go for an unknown quantity, I'm figuring the full access offered by the PLextor is the clincher. Am still coveting an IPod Touch though; sounds excellent, and would much rather be using mainstream products. Looking forward to hearing more about how everyone gets on with the Touch, for future reference. Thanks again.

No, DAISY books won't play on the Ipod Touch at this time but are we talking players or recorders? Yes, the Ipod Touch is fully accessible or as accessible as the developers of applications such as Voxie Recorder Professional choose to make their applications, all the functionality is in the Ipod Touch or Iphone so its just a matter of pointing this out to the developers should the need arise and - thankfully - with Voxie, their's no need for this.

Another choice that people may wish to consider is the Sony PCMD50, you'll hear a review of it on http://www.blindcooltech.com though you may have to look for it in the archives. One of the features I really liked about this model was the system it had for protection against the sound clipping if the level got too high. On 24/12/2009, at 3:38 AM, Brett Boyer wrote: Hi.

Re: digital recorders
Hey there! I'm just wondering what pocket recorder are you all talking about? Well, I have heard very much of the Olympus DM520 and such, but what is that pocket rugged? Just curious. Actually, I haven't seen the olympus DM520 model, but I have seen the olympus DLS10, that's an Ok recorder, but if you don't want to have menus which don't wrap, maybe the Edirol r09 or r09hr works great for good recordings. I have compared the r09 and r09hr, and to my surprise, the hr model sounds much better and it's builtin mike pre-amps noise is much less than the original r09 model. Regards, Jörgen Hansson!

No, DAISY books won't play on the Ipod Touch at this time but are we talking players or recorders?

I'm not sure of that as its something I've not needed to bother with, there's no ALC. Perhaps for more advanced tasks like that you may wish to look at some of the docking solutions for Iphone and Ipod Touch which allow connection to musical instruments and other studio sources.

Re: digital recorders
I think the dm520 is the one to get. The extra 2 gigs isn't the thing. It's the possibility of recording wav at 44.1 and 48 kHz. The dm420 does not. It only records MP3 up to 360k and wma up to 128k. Not bad but isn't it ever so nice to have that 48 khz wav? I've been messing around with the different mic settings. I find they work quite well. It is interesting combining different mic patterns with the 4 different playback 3d headphone presets. It records conferences and such really well. I also found the recording around my home with the unit on the table and setting mics to narrow results in a very realistic 3d playback experience. I was walking around my galley style kitchen with l shaped dining room. It could record me clearly all the way to my bathroom and down halls. When I played it back.. I was almost scared hearing my self walking around my suite. Quite a ghostly experience. I almost don't want to like the Olympus because they still do sum things poorly but this is such a good deal in a recorder, I can overcome my feelings. Besides, it's good to have an extra high quality recorder anyway. Think my next recorder is going to be the Sony d-50. I haven't heard anything better in a pocketable audio device, so far. In my opinion. the Olympus is about as good a pocket recorder as the Edirol. The Edirol whatsit has the edge in quality sound but not by much. But, that Sony sounds suite! Oh yah. Discovered using high sensitivity and auto recording works very well. The compression is easy to monitor too so one can get an idea where to set manual levels later. A few times the compressor was off balance, (only effecting the right side). An interesting bug in the compressor that has already taught me a lot how this compressor works. I'd say it is quite workable. On the other hand... Handling noise is just bad. But ironically, using high sensitivity, narrow microphone pattern, and the low cut filter can get better results.

RE: digital recorders
Actually the Olympus DM series is more a music than a voice machine - hence the M in its name. Though it isn't semi-pro in its recording capabilities. I am interested, though, Have you personally used and compared both machines? I agree that the audio quality on the Pocket, if you add external mics may be superior, but it is much much larger than the Olympus and its in-built mike capabilities I think are inferior to the Olympus. As an all-rounder player and recorder, the Pocket has much to offer, but it is less convenient for quick recording tasks. the Olympus comes in to its own as a 'take-anywhere' real pocket-sized recorder, with excellent balance of features and quality for high-quality voice capture.

Re: digital recorders
It is also easy to hook the recorder to your PC and transfer files from it for editing on the computer. I have been playing with the recorder set to low microphone sensitivity using the Sound Professionals SP-TFB-2 binaural microphones made famous by Larry Skutchan in most of his early Blind Cool Tech environmental podcasts or sound-seeing tours as they were called then. I had forgotten how stunningly good those mikes are and the recorder does them proud. I have not done any serious recording as of yet, but will pass along some listening samples as soon as I have something worth listening to. - Original Message - From: Gary Schindler garys5...@comcast.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, December 20, 2009 9:11 PM Subject: Re: digital recorders I haven't seen the DM-520 yet, but will eventually get one for the reasons you have outlined. it isn't bad for the money.

I haven't been following this thread till now so please excuse me if what I'm about to say has already been mentioned. If you by chance own an Iphone or New Ipod Touch then you already have a digital recorder right there in the palm of your hand, the Iphone has a built-in microphone but you can purchase a stereo microphone according to the Iphone User guide and that's where the fun starts and the Iphone becomes even more amazing than you already thought and knew it to be smile The Iphone comes with a Voice Memo recorder which does what it was designed to do well so let's take the art of recording to a whole new level on a mobile device with Voxie Recorder Pro for $2.50 Australian from the Itunes Store, connect your stereo mic and you're away recording at a maximum sampling rate of44.1KHZ stereo if that's what you need. Voxie Recorder Pro has many settings and features including Express mode, shake the Iphone to start and stop recording, you hear a tone from the phone when recording starts or stops. If you want to use the software for just voice recordings then take advantage of the transcription services offered by the software. Recorded something and you wish to transfer it to your computer or computers via your network or via the Internet through the world? No problem, record and share With Voxie Recorder Pro. Still finding out mroe about this software as I play with it more.

I just don't think you could go wrong with the Olympus DM520 for what you say you want and it has a less hefty price tag than the Plextalk. Of course, I was actually happy with the DS50 I had until it was stolen; but realistically the DM520 is much superior. So I guess it all depends. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Howard Traxler Sent: Saturday, December 19, 2009 4:21 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: digital recorders Thanks to all who commented. I guess I'll be looking closer to the Olympus 520 and 420. The highest quality I want is when I bootleg concerts on occasion. Otherwise it'll be mostly voice: meetings and such. Would like to be able to use external mics and line in as well as to feed the output to my stereo. Would like direct transfer of files between it and computer. Thanks again.

Re: digital recorders
Depending on your needs, the Olympus DM-420 or 520 might meet them. The recorder has voice prompts that allow many functions of the recorder to be set by a blind person. I have just ordered the binaural mikes used on many Blind Cool Tech podcasts and will be posting some audio somewhere when I have a chance to play with them a bit. - Original Message - From: Howard Traxler htraxl...@earthlink.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 7:46 AM Subject: digital recorders Hello all, I'm looking for a blind-friendly digital recorder that is small, stereo, high quality, and easy to use.

Re: digital recorders
Hello! I must tell you that for my satisfaction, the edirol r09hr is working pretty good for me, but I must tell you that the olympus 520 is very good also, well, I don't have that one, but from all those podcasts I have heard about it, I seem to like it alot, cause of the voice prompts and so on.

My DS50 was lost or stolen on our European trip so now I'm trying to figure out where to go from here. Guess I'll listen to that Main Menu and hear what they have to say. My lady, Pam has the R9 and nice though it is she can't change the settings without help and I really don't like that aspect of the unit. What is the Plextalk going for pricewise?

Re: Digital recorders again.
Hi, Many thanks to everyone for your replies, it was most interesting to read all the various opinions. Following on from this, a couple of further questions. Firstly does anyone know off hand the aproximate cost of the plextalk pocket in the U.K? Also has anyone had direct experience of using both the pocket and Edirol 09hr, and could offer a comparison on the recording quality of both, in particular via line-in. Many thanks, Tim. - Original Message - From: dean martineau dea...@earthlink.net To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 6:36 PM Subject: RE: Digital recorders again.

RE: Digital recorders again.
Tim, If you go to the RNIB online shop at http://www.rnib.org.uk/shop and search for Plextalk Pocket, you will find plenty of information about the player. It is available in two colours - black or white - and costs £279.99 ex VAT. You will also be able to find out about the accessories, such as spare batteries, and even download a copy of the instruction manual. Caroline. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tim Crawford Sent: 08 October 2009 21:22 To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Digital recorders again.

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.

RE: Digital recorders again - Plextalk Pocket and Olympus DS-71
I would guess, in the absence of no hard comparative data, that the audio recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the Olympus DS-71, which I do have. 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.

Re: Digital recorders again - Plextalk Pocket and Olympus DS-71
Yeh! And I would take a recommendation on my next purchase on a guess! BTW: I had a PTP and gae it back due to it's crappy firmware and terrible navigational structure.

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.

Hi Don, This is Tim. Does the recorder you wrote about have a power adaptor jack where you can run it without having to use batteries? Also, is it possible to move the recorded files to a PC via the USB? It sounds like a good recorder. I read the specs on the 50 along with the 30, and the main differences seem to be memory...256 mb over 1 gb. I've attached some information on the 30 if anyone wants to read up on it...See below.

Re: Digital Recorders Revisited
I haven't noticed an adapter jack. How ever, the battery life, is great. I think they claim around 35 hours, depending on what you are doing. So I have never worried much about using batteries. It does have a jack too plug in an included USB cable. It all so came with software. How ever I never installed it. That's because your computer will see it as another drive. And you can just copy and past files. I think the only thing besides memory, is on the DS50 you get some kind of included remote control, but again for my uses, I just don't even need the remote.

Does the recorder you wrote about have a power adaptor jack where you can run it without having to use batteries? Also, is it possible to move the recorded files to a PC via the USB? It sounds like a good recorder. I read the specs on the 50 along with the 30, and the main differences seem to be memory...256 mb over 1 gb. I've attached some information on the 30 if anyone wants to read up on it...See below. This is a copy from the sight where I found the information. Make sure and read the entire document.

The ds-30 works as well as the other models. Only, it only has 250 megabytes of memory. Also, I think the case is plastic instead of mettle. I wish I could get the ds-50 locally because it also comes with a case. The units don't have a pocket clip so a case is kind of important. One can order the case but you still don't have as much memory and recording time with the other models.

Re: digital recorders?
You'd proberbly want a multitrack recorder. Perhaps one can do that with the Edirol R4. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: I have read on one site where they had a good description of the R-1, that you can't record simultaniously from the mic input and the line input. Apparently the line input over rides the mike. This seems a serious shortcoming if you want to mix live background and narration. Can anyone confirm this. If this is so, what would be the next model up in quality that would allow for mixing of background and mike.
