Where did you see it and what is its name? Available where?

Hi!
How accessible is it?
I guess if you’re lucky with it it must be very accessible.
By the way i saw a nice little recording device which was just a 
microphone with 2 or three buttons on.

Also a built in headphone jack and a slot for an micro sd card.
The price was to high but it seemed to do its job very nice.

Hi!


Well I guess at different times in our lives we all "Get Lucky" and 
such a time happened to me a few weeks ago.


I managed to purchase - in good condition - a Sony PCM-D50 digital 
audio recorder.


These recorders are at the low end of the professional recorder ranger 
from Sony and yet they do an excellent job, note the test I did with 
the recorder with a sample from the W9 speaker system.


I managed to find a review of the recorder which was originally 
distributed via the Blind Cool Tech website.


So what's the fuss? Listen here

Windscreens for field recorders

[Dane Trethowan]

H!
As users of field recording equipment will know, the outdoor recording you’re 
making is gravely enhanced by the use of a windscreen.
I’ve found a range of windscreens that actually work incredibly well and they 
won’t cost you an arm and a leg to purchase.
I’ve bought a couple of Gutman windscreens, one for the Sony PCM-d50 and 
another for the Olympus DM4.
The Gutman windscreens are absolutely wind proof.
My Sony PCM-D50 recorder came with the standard Sony Windscreen option but - 
whilst the Sony looks similar to the Gutman - in that it too feels like a soft 
toy - that’s where any common ground ends, the Sony allows wind through to the 
microphones.
I found my Gutman Windscreens on eBay and each was around $30 Australian with 
postage included.

Windows and Having 2 recorders: one set as Stereo mix and the other asnormal?

[Gerardo Corripio]

 HI guys
I'm wanting to enrich my recordings by having Stereo Mix, and so I'm 
wondering if can I have two recording software on my Laptop, leaving one 
for recording my system sounds and screen reader plus my voice, and the 
other recorder as usual, to only record my voice? Thanks for info.

RE: The state of Olympus recorders these days

Ah so I forgot this the P2 does have blue tooth. So you can play from blue 
tooth stuff on it. That's why I thought of it for a few seconds. Oh I said, I 
could use my Bose sound link mini with this. But when it was compaired to the 
LS7 I gave it up and got the 14. Though my heart really wanted the 100.

So I have the DM4 and Dm7, soon to be getting the LS14 and Ls100, I use all for 
different recording applications as some models have strengths whilst others 
have weaknesses.
So I’ve named the four models I’ll be using and I’m wondering are their any 
other current Olympus models I should be looking at for any particular reasons?
The portable audio and video recorder market out there seems to be absolutely 
saturated now with all the big names, Marantz, Taskam, Foxtex and Boss just to

And yep, I have the Zoom H6, a wonderful machine indeed.

Yes I too have a 14. It's pretty good. As for the P 2 well it's little. It's a 
pocket thing like a DM or the LS 7 was. So it's not gonna have the big fat 
studio sound. I wanted the 100 and do wana work towards getting 1 some day but 
for now it's too much for the money I have. But I would have loved a 100. But 
yes for what it's worth the 14 is very good.

RE: The state of Olympus recorders these days

Maybe not on a technical aspect, but you could give us your twist on it. What 
you make of the H6. It sounds cool to me but still too hissy. I wander about 
Zoom's new F8 $800 recorder. That one's epic. You can hook 8 mikes in it but 
again I think hard on it cause Zoom always hisses like tape. So to me tape is 
history and thus so should be that hiss. Aiincient history it should be.

I’ll write more on the Zoom H6 shortly though other list members have pretty 
much covered that recorder so there’s probably little point me saying all that

RE: The state of Olympus recorders these days

[Hamit Campos]

Yes you should listen to them first. I've heard the Marantz PMD671 which 
doesn't ixist no more apparently but I liked it kinda. I will note this and 
this is also a problem with Zoom for me too. It was too hissy. I don't want nor 
like hiss. It's to reminiscent of Casset tapes. That's why I kinda think on it 
when it comes to the H6. Epic that you could make a 5.1 recording out of it, 
but too hissy. So see if you can find examples of the new Marantz recorders and 
see for your self.

Are they smaller than the zoom h6 which imho is to big.
I want a smaller field recorder but maybe this will reduce the quality of the 
recording.

Re: The state of Olympus recorders these days

I’ve not been able to see a Marantz recorder as yet so can’t comment but as I 
said earlier, there are now more portable recorders than you can poke a stick 
at and I’m most interested - not only in the Marantz - but the offerings from 
Taskam, hard to imagine a Taskam Porter Studio for $400 now, I remember those 
brutes used to be in the thousands.

Re: The state of Olympus recorders these days

You’re right there, I think the one I just don’t like at all is the DM7, its a 
beast to get around at times and feels so cheaply made and yet it does have 
some very practical features if you dig hard enough to find them.

Re: The state of Olympus recorders these days

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
wow I thought the ls-14 had been discontinued and replaced by the ls-pII 
which I didn't find to be as good in quality as the 14 to my ears though it 
does finally boast a talking clock setting menu yay for that I guess. As 
always we'll enjoy reading of your experiences therein.

Subject: The state of Olympus recorders these days

So I have the DM4 and Dm7, soon to be getting the LS14 and Ls100, I use all 
for different recording applications as some models have strengths whilst 
others have weaknesses.
So I’ve named the four models I’ll be using and I’m wondering are their any 
other current Olympus models I should be looking at for any particular 
reasons?
The portable audio and video recorder market out there seems to be 
absolutely saturated now with all the big names, Marantz, Taskam, Foxtex and 
Boss just to name a few, has anyone had any hands on experience with any 
other portable audio recorders.

And yep, I have the Zoom H6, a wonderful machine indeed.

Olympus Recorders, Never Enough Time To Explore Them

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!


I have an Olympus DM4 and DM7.


I've written to the list regarding these machines at different times but 
up until now I've just not had the time to play so this morning when I 
had some time to myself and saw the Olympus DM7 in the drawer doing 
nothing I decided it was certainly time to explore the features and 
functions the DM7 had to offer.



I'm a little disappointed that the DM& doesn't seem to be as good a 
build as the DM4 was and its a little bigger but still nice enough to 
hold in the hand and certainly small enough to fit into the shirt pocket.



At first glance the multitude of buttons on this recorder were 
off-putting but patience is a virtue and the learning curb wasn't steap 
so getting used to these extra buttons on the DM7 was a piece of cake.



Some annoyances are there in the feature set, it seems you cannot set 
manual recording levels with the DM7, the DM7 doesn't have an atenuator 
for the microphones etc so - to my way of thinking - the DM& is really a 
recorder meant in the main for dictation purposes? Perhaps someone can 
straighten me out on those points.



There can be no denying however the DM7's outstanding attributes as a 
player, the sound is better than that of the DM4 owing to the bigger 
speaker I presume.



The battery holds it charge in the DM7 and doesn't go flat when left as 
it does with the DM4, that alone was a plain pain in the but as I had to 
keep resetting the DM4's time every time a battery went flat or when I 
changed a battery.



Anyway I'm still to decide which I'll use as my main recorder, the DM4 
or the DM7.

The dm7 are on the Europe and uk and other sites. Not on the American
site. There are stil differences between 901 and dm7. Such as tts for
dm7 vursus human femail speech on the 901. The 901 have know text file
or daisy support, and not as accessible as dm7. The skedular or diary
is not easy to use there as on dm7.

It was pulling hens teeth to find that.

The wi fi thing runs on a Iphone and allows you to trigger your recorder
remotly.
also you can send pictures to the recorder from your Iphone.

Also there is software called controller  that ltes you edit files.
I don't know if any of this software is accessable or not.

Yes, its just ment to transfer files to and from the recorder. Usually
Olympus don't do drastic updates. So they will probably make
improvements in another model. I just wunder why they done the dm7 for
Europe, but for the USA there were know similar model. At least in the
case of the dm4 you had the dm5 for Europe and UK. I don't know why
they cut down on internal memory. But I did also note that if you
choose to turn off the mike monitor when recording, then it perform or
behave better then other models when that is off.

Yes, there were a few updates to dm4 to make more things speak. The
dm7 have daisy functions, but I think that needs fixing as I cannot
manage
to read a book. Hopefully a update is coming. It can also import daisy
from cd, but again I could not manage to perform that successfully. The
diary is quite similar. I cannot compare to dm4 exactly, as I don't have
one, but I know that on dm7 you first enter the diary, then you go to
the
day you want with cursor keys and press enter on that. Then you record
the
memo up to one minit I think. Then in the menu you will be able to set
an
alarm for the memo on the day you choose when you started off. And to
set
alarm and recording timer is very accessible. Note however that unlike
the
older models, there is know longer an alarm playback function under the
playback menu. So the only alarm you can set are those wich are assigned
to a voice memo. And then you connect to pc, you will see in the
internal
memory a folder containing the memos. I had know problem setting alarm.

job for a recorder of its size.

Yes, there were a few updates to dm4 to make more things speak. The
dm7 have daisy functions, but I think that needs fixing as I cannot manage to 
read a book. Hopefully a update is coming. It can also import daisy from cd, 
but again I could not manage to perform that successfully. The diary is quite 
similar. I cannot compare to dm4 exactly, as I don't have one, but I know that 
on dm7 you first enter the diary, then you go to the day you want with cursor 
keys and press enter on that. Then you record the memo up to one minit I think. 
Then in the menu you will be able to set an alarm for the memo on the day you 
choose when you started off. And to set alarm and recording timer is very 
accessible. Note however that unlike the older models, there is know longer an 
alarm playback function under the playback menu. So the only alarm you can set 
are those wich are assigned to a voice memo. And then you connect to pc, you 
will see in the internal memory a folder containing the memos. I had know 
problem setting alarm.

[Dane Trethowan]

I suppose an Internet connection isn't really necessary from the point 
of view of the Olympus recorder, who knows what - if any - plans Olympus 
have for the recorder in the future?


Olympus have a dictation App which is supposed to take the place of one 
of their professional dictation recorders on an iPhone, has anyone tried 
this? I've seen reference to it on the Olympus America web site.

I'll look at those functions myself, see if I can work around them.

It seems that Olympus have cut down on the internal memory on the DM-7, 
am I correct in assuming that the DM-7 only has 4GB of internal memory? 
The DM-4 has 8GB, not a critical point given that SD cards are cheaper 
than potato chips these days.

where portions of a file could be extract and dead air can be left out
to fasten playback of sertin files. And also transcription moad. But
they removed the voice filter playback. The dm4 have random playback
but dm7 don't have random or shuffle play, even though the spex says
it does. But both stil have repeat of folder or file. Dm4 you have to
turn on a setting accessibility mode or something to that nature, to
allow speaking of file names with tts. But with dm7 know longer
possible or needed. It will speak the file names naturally without any
ajustments. Of corse, all new models now know longer stores voice
files on the internal memory, but now build in. Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask I got dm7  so I will help where I can. Of corse don't
forget the wifi on dm7. And it only charge via USB port or USB
adapter. Know longer the option of normal a c adapter.

Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

I own an Olympus DM-4 and will be getting a DM-7 shortly, are their any 
major differences I should look out for?


I also own a Zoom H1 recorder and prefer to use it for a lot of jobs 
given that the H1 has higher sampling rates, I also think the 
microphones are better but nevertheless, the DM-4 does an excellent job 
for a recorder of its size.

Hi.
The thing is that the newer models like ls14 and dm901 don't allow
uploading voice files as the older models. When ever are more voice
file updates you will then have to download a seprit voice updater
program wich will bring the files up to date, after wich you can
choose another language if supported. Keep in mind that not all
display languages are supported by speech. The manual and
spesifications are very clear about that.

Hi.

On an Olympus LS-14 bought from Japan there are English & Japanese with
voice guidance for each language so when display language is changed voice
guidance language changes as well.  On the other hand on a dm-901 
purchased

in Sweden although there are many languages on the screen voice guidance
came only in English.  I updated the firmware on dm-901 to the latest and
when installed Swedish voice guidance file English disappeared and was
replaced, vice versa happened when I installed the English voice guidance
file.

My question is how to to make multiple voice guidance language files 
active

on demand like in the situation of LS-14 mentioned above and not replace
each other?

My other question is I want to replace Japanese on LS-14 with Swedish both
on the display as well as voice guidance.  How to accomplish that?

When I searched the downloads of LS-14 I only found the manual for
ls-12/14,
no firmware nor voice guidance files, regards.

Re: Olympus recorders and audio quality

[jeremy]

Awesome, thank you for giving me a better idea on what to look for. I 
was able to locate this composite option in both user manuals, the 
dm-620 and the ls-14.
I also contacted Olympus's tech support this morning and was given a 
pretty decent comparison between these two devices, along with the ls-100.
This ended up with me asking him a question, which he was unable to 
really answer, so perhaps it's more appropriate to ask it here. He told 
me that some of the options that the recorder supports, work better in 
conjunction with the accompanying software, Sonority, so what types of 
accessibility issues, if any would I have using it with NVDA?
Staying within my price range of about 200 bucks, I'm probably going to 
begin focusing on either the 620 or the ls-14 which brings me to a small 
question. What, if any differences in quality can I expect from the 
microphones on either of these devices.
I know that the dm-620 has one extra file format it supports, Windows 
Media Audio, which perhaps is not so important for me, so what can I 
expect with using both these devices in recording either in .WAV or 
.MP3, the two formats I'm more familiar with.
I've unfortunately not yet had any luck in locating a review of the 620, 
to get a better idea of the microphones quality, I have listened to the 
one recorded by Neal on the ls-14 though.
The one thing I do like about the ls-14 is the fact that the battery 
life is greatly increased, all be the device being a tad bit larger, but 
is the larger battery capacity plus possible higher quality in audio and 
ability to hold slightly larger SD cards worth the extra cost?
Any experiences with either of these devices or even a possible small 
recording of the dm-620s capabilities would be totally awesome.

Thank you again.
Blessings.

Subject: Olympus and zoom types of recorders and there features for

Hello all,
Here recently, I started looking into a decent handheld recorder,
specifically one with the ability to record in fairly high quality stereo
and also be used as an external microphone for a computer.
While searching around for documentation on the different models, apparently
quite lacking with blindcooltech no longer working, I came across this list
and was hoping to refresh the interest in this topic and hopefully get some
advice.
So far, from what I've been able to dig up, it's a choice between, the
dm-520 or 620, the ls models, 5, 10, 14 and 100 and of course, the H1 from
zoom.
My main issues with locating documentation, specifically on the dm-620 is
the fact that several pages on this device state that it does not have the
accessible menus, comparing it to the dm-670, apparently a device specific
to European markets.
This however does not seem to be the case, as other sources state that it
comes with support for use by the visually impaired.
I've been able to locate a few of the podcasts, recorded by Neal Eurs and am
in the process of searching for any others I can find, however, one thing I
still can't find any information on is the ability to use these devices as
an external stereo mic for a computer, outside of recording. I'm honestly
not sure if this is just a lack of me not knowing the term used to describe
this, but even in the manuals for the olympus devices I've found, I can't
find any mention of this. I do know that the zoom has this ability and also
that several devices from olympus do as well, but I'm just looking for a
more complete list of accurate manuals/documentation.
I'm even considering contacting Olympus, here in the US to ask also, but I
wanted to find a list to hopefully ask other folks who've used these devices
first.
Lastly, I'm looking to spend at most around 200 dollars, hopefully a little
cheaper so any ideas that anyone can give that may fit the bill would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Blessings.

Re: Any Olympus recorders that can rewind?

[ken reed]

You can set a bookmark with olympus recorders.

If you press the scene buttonru\\during playback or record you set a 
bookmark.


This is used for deviding a file.
I don't know how you can extrace the devided portion.
As far as I know you can'tcan't insert in the midle of a file.

Nor can you append to a file.
I have a 520 and an ls7
The 520 is more immediat than the ls7 , because the 7  turns the  moniter on 
first and this causes you to wate before recording starding starts.

RE: Any Olympus recorders that can rewind?

[Hamit Campos]

They all I should think can. Just hold down the arrow keys while playing a
file. I don't know if the really cheep ones can so that's whi I said they
should I should think. I know the DMs can and the LS ones can too.

Subject: Any Olympus recorders that can rewind?

Hi.
I have been reading all the posts about the different Olympus devices.
I am an instructor, and some of my visually impaired students want a
recorder that will allow them to record my lectures, but when playing it
back, be able to rewind just like a cassette recorder to listen to some
great words of wiz dumb that I may have inadvertently  said without my
notice.
I have played with some of the basic Olympus digital recorders that the
local division of blind services gives to the students, none of which can't
rewind. 
Which of the Olympus recorders can rewind or jump back in a recording like a
cassette?
Do any of them allow setting of bookmarks?

Many thanks.

Phil

Olympus Recorders, Especially the DM-4

[Max G. Swanson]

Afraid I'd never attempt using the Olympus multitrack machine, as I've
almost given up on the DM-4.  Even after running the on-board PDF manual
thru Kurzweil, it's been rough going.

I'd appreciate any hints on or off-list.  There could be a bargain waiting
for anyone who has worked around the unit's access issues; I have a
feeling that even a little vision would make it much friendlier.  Thanx
and here's to 2013!

This is a biggy if you wish to multi track though! I've not tested to
see if speech is lost after just doing a single track with the
recorder. I'll try shortly!

RE: Olympus recorders....do they all have the speach with menu?

[HHamit Campos]

Yeah it talks. They just have to fix the fact that it doesn't say the folder
names, which they are, and they also have to fix the fact that all the multi
track stuff doesn't talk. I don't know if they are going to fix that. In the
future perhaps.

I was with a friend, he wanted to buy an Olympus digitial recorder. We read
the packages but we could not find where it says that the unit came with
built in speach reader menu feature. My O 4 has it, so I am asking if and
which of the O's have this feature?
Thank You and have a good day!

Re: ADVICE NEEDED ON DIGITAL RECORDERS

[dan thompson]

Hi Loren, I actually like the bookport plus as far as usability and great 
voice feedback.  It is from American Printing hous for the
Blind (APH.)  It cost around $300.00.  As far as the order of what I 
consider best to worse in this area would be:

1.  victorstream
2.  bookport plus
3.  plextalk
4.  book sense from gwmicro. Talk toyou later.

If you want studio pro CD like sound? Then the LS-100 is the way to go. I 
don't know where you heard the recording you heard, but if onthis hear 
list, then don't worry about it. That only happens when you use it as an 
external sound card and record with your PC or MAC too apparently. But for 
classes the Book Sence would do too. Granted it is more expensive I guess, 
and how ironic, more expensive but perhaps not as pro sounding. Not that I 
remember anyways. But then again, if I did even hear one which I think I 
hav, it wasn't with truelly pro mikes.

Hello everyone:

Nearly 27 years after graduating from IU Bloomington, Indiana, I've now 
decided to stick my hands in the gloves again and go back to college.  For 
purposes of being able to record class lectures from which I will write my 
notes in Braille, I need a digital recorder.


I am turn between Olympus's LS100 and the Book Sense XT or DS.  I listened 
to a recording done with the LS100 and there was some really bad 
distortion seeping through the recording.  I've not listened to any 
reviews of the Book Sense, but it costs about $100 more than the LS100.


I am not certain that all the menus on the Olympus LS100 talks; but I am 
at least hoping that this will be the case with respect to the Book Sense.


For anyone who has had a chance to play with both products, what would be 
your best advice for me with regard to choices and why?  I think that help 
with a few pros and cons will enable me ensure that I am purchasing a 
recorder I can put to work for a long, long time.  Much thanks in advance 
for all help with this one!!

The features of the Book Port Plus and the Plextalk Pocket are similar since
they are using the same hardware.  Any differences in implementation of the
features are due to different firmware.  Freedom Scientific distributes the
Plextalk Pocket, and the American Printing House for the Blind sells the

Re: ADVICE NEEDED ON DIGITAL RECORDERS

If you can afford it, buy a Bookport Plus.  It will record lectures quite 
well using the internal microphone as long as you are not too far away from 
the source.  The Bookport Plus also has the ability to do a lot of other 
useful things as well.


Go to the A P H web page and have a look at the details.

Re: ADVICE NEEDED ON DIGITAL RECORDERS

[Gary King]

Olusegun,
I don't have an LS100, so can't comment.  I do, however, have a BookSense 
and a Book Port Plus.  The Book Port Plus has a much better recorder than 
the BookSense.  Also, quite a few folks, including myself, have had a 
problem with the failure of the Lock Switch on the BookSense. 
Unfortunately, it fails in the Locked Mode, making the unit useless until it

The Book Port Plus doesn't have Bluetooth like the BookSense XT, but it does 
receive Internet radio and podcasts; very nice!  You can also build a DAISY 
book with the recordings you make with the Book Port Plus, a book for all 
class lectures in a particular subject, for example.

Subject: ADVICE NEEDED ON DIGITAL RECORDERS



Hello everyone:

Nearly 27 years after graduating from IU Bloomington, Indiana, I've now 
decided to stick my hands in the gloves again and go back to college.  For 
purposes of being able to record class lectures from which I will write my 
notes in Braille, I need a digital recorder.


I am turn between Olympus's LS100 and the Book Sense XT or DS.  I listened 
to a recording done with the LS100 and there was some really bad 
distortion seeping through the recording.  I've not listened to any 
reviews of the Book Sense, but it costs about $100 more than the LS100.


I am not certain that all the menus on the Olympus LS100 talks; but I am 
at least hoping that this will be the case with respect to the Book Sense.


For anyone who has had a chance to play with both products, what would be 
your best advice for me with regard to choices and why?  I think that help 
with a few pros and cons will enable me ensure that I am purchasing a 
recorder I can put to work for a long, long time.  Much thanks in advance 
for all help with this one!!


Sincerely,
Olusegun

Hello!

I bought two Plexgear cassette tape recorders one cassette deck and one 
a freestyle, both have built-in loudspeaker and usb port and they came 
with audacity. I already have wavepad and don't have to use audacity to 
record, when I connected the freestyle to the pc the recorder was 
powered from the pc and an audio codec was added, how do I go about to 
record from these tape recorders? Thanks.

Hi!

My favourite subject, I've been down that road before.

I use Fire Field recorder though it hasn't been updated for quite
some time.

Now here's where things become a little tricky. If you're using
Fire Field Recorder for quality recordings you'll want some
external microphones and inputs, that's fine! as those devices
exist but when all boiled down, its going to cost you a little
money, not expensive mind but a little money.

If I had my time over again, I would not have bothered buying the
extra attachments for my IOS device, they're nice sure! but for
nearly the same amount of money I could have bought a portable
recorder which does far more than the IOS device I had was capable
of doing, I'm talking of course of the Zoom H1 portable recorder.

RE: Audio Recorders

[Hamit Campos]

Yeah I guess you're right. I guess I just assume it's Olympus, they always
do it the same. If you know a DM-420, a Dm-520, then, you'll know the LS-7
and you'll know the LS-100 when it's out. But again, You might be right. In
fact come to think about it, you truly are right. It's going to be 2012
after all isn't it? They change the interface a bit every year. I mean, they
stopped drasticly changing it in 2010, but who knows what can happen. Good
point my friend.

Depends on what you're prepared to spend! For example you can buy a better DAC 
to hook up to an iPod, this can then be hooked up to your audio system etc.

From the sound of it, at least, I'd think it'd have a rather professional 

sound, as the non-multi track versions definitely do.

Hi!

My favourite subject , I've been down that road before.

I use Fire Field recorder though it hasn't been updated for quite some

time.


Now here's where things become a little tricky. If you're using Fire
Field Recorder for quality recordings you'll want some external
microphones and inputs, that's fine! as those devices exist but when
all boiled down, its going to cost you a little money, not expensive

mind but a little money.


If I had my time over again, I would not have bothered buying the
extra attachments for my IOS device, they're nice sure! but for
nearly the same amount of money I could have bought a portable
recorder which does far more than the IOS device I had was capable
of doing, I'm talking of course of the Zoom H1 portable recorder.

No, it doesn't have talking this or talking that, no it doesn't have
bells and whistles to write home to Mum about but it is! a very high
quality and easy to use recorder which handles MP3 and Wave format,
encoding quality for
MP3 can be set along with sampling and bit rate for Wave.

there a high-quality external mic available? and, is there a
recording app that's accessible, and more full-featured than the
very simplistic voice memos app that comes with it?

Well, like I say, I'm not bashing stuff either. I guess what I'm saying is
that well, at least for me any ways, if you want to go geeky with a recorder
like multi tracking, having it spit either 24 valt or 48 valt phantom power,
I'ed feel more comfortable doing it with something that talks or something
that has 1 button for every thing or short cut keys for things like the
Sound-devices recorders do. Now thoughs are really my favorite ones, the
thing is that they are thousands of dollars. I guess in the end all I'm
saying is that I guess that something like this LS-100 is easyer and mor
convenient then say a Zoom H4N for instance.

I'm not knocking the Olympus recorders as I'm sure they're great pieces of
equipment but some people seem to have a "thing" about talking devices for
some reason and they seem to automatically figure that just because they
talk then they're better than devices which don't .

If you want to hear Olympus recorders in action then go to
<http://www.blindcooltech.com> and "listen away", plenty of podcasts there
on Olympus recorders.

Points taken, that's why I bought my Zoom H1, no its not multi track but I
didn't need one of those.  No it doesn't talk but if I can use a cassette
recorder then I can use a Zoom H1, think I paid $100.00 for it over a year
ago, an absolute bargain.

Hi Rob

The H1 does indeed record in wav format.

Hi, Julie.

Thanks for the tip and the link to the podcast on BTC, which is a very
diverse and informative web site to which I hope to become a contributor in
the not very distant future which is one thing I have in mind in wanting to
invest in a high quality but economically priced recorder and there appears
to be a very strong consensus that H1 meets those criteria. I am surprised
if there is no pause function, in which case the 2 options are either to
stop the recording altogether and create multiple audio files to record the
same session or event, or, in the alternative, let the recording run and
remove unwanted audio clips with Goldwave after migrating the audio files to
the PC. BTW, I have heard the Zoom H1 records in WAV format. Is this true?
It seems WAV is easier to manipulate and reprocess because it is a lossless
format. This would be advantageous as I can always convert the files to MP3
with GW. Thanks to Julie and all for  your very informative guidance.

Best regards,
Rob Tabor & Guide Cane Raúl Junior

Hi Rob
Blind cool tech has a review of the zoom H1. It's a good review in that it 
will give you a good idea of the capabilities of the recorder.  I think 
the only drawback is that there is no pause ability during a recording.  I 
recently used a friend'sH1 and can tell you that the recording quality is 
superb.

Hope this helps.

Julie

I suppose one can argue that a pause function isn't necessary given that one 
can transfer files from the H1 to a computer and edit to one's hearts desire, 
that's why I bought my Netbook so I could have H1 and Netbook work together, 
before this I recorded with the H1, transferred to my portable Minidisc 
recorder and edited there but the Minidisc recorder is showing its age now so a 
Netbook seemed the obvious choice.

Re: Question re Zoom Series Digital Recorders

[Joe Giovanelli]

Hello,

I don't disagree with what's been said about the h 1 recorder.  I own and h 4 
which I paid 100 dollars for, bought from a friend.  The built-in mikes ard 
really excellent!  If there's an objection to them it is that the stereo image 
is narrower than I like, but there is stereo.


There is no record level control.  Rather, there is a 3-position mike 
attenuator.  I found that the middle position (least attenuation) is great for 
all sorts of recording.  I usually take its sd card and put it into my computer 
and edit my work using Goldwave.  It is no problem if the levels are sometimes 
low; I just maximize the volume with the proper Goldwave tool.

If all you wish to do is record using the internal mikes, you don't need to 
concern yourself with menus.  Just turn on the unit, wait 30 seconds, and then 
press the record button twice.

To end a recording, press the top of the joystick.  Pressing it again will 
begin playback through the headphones.

The noise is so low that I can happily ignore it.

I often use external condenser mikes which require 48 volts.  This does require 
dipping a toe into the menus but it's absolutely easy.  I've never come to 
grief here.  I can explain that to anyone who needs the info.

There is no line in jacks.  These's a way to use the XL connectors but I do not 
know how to set them up; it is not necessary for my particular needs.


Just in case someone cares, I've dabled in audio since 1946 and earlier.

Joe G.

Re: Question re Zoom Series Digital Recorders

Yep, I believe the H4 was the first, then came the H2 and now the H1 but it 
makes sense the numbers, the H4 is the top of the line recorder, the H2 is 
second and the H1 is the baby.

Re: Question re Zoom Series Digital Recorders

everyone seems to sell the zoom H-1 for $99.00  US. I recommend the 
accessory kit for another $24.00 too! it has a wind screen, screw on mic 
stand attachment, tripod and AX adapter with USB cable for the computer and 
adapter.

Hello, Dane.

Thanks for your prompt and thorough response to my inquiry. The H1's ability
to function without menus, the efficiency of its battery lifeand usage, and
minimal threshold noise in recording do make a strong case for the H1 as
being heads above other models in the series. I have just one remaining
question. Whom do you commend as the best vendor to purchase the recorder
from?

Only my opinion but the H1 is preferred by me over the Zoom H2 and H4 for
convenience!

For example, I press one button and the H1 starts recording.

The H1 has longer battery life than the H2 and only takes 1 battery instead
of 2 as the H2 does thus it costs less to run on battery.

Now here's an interesting point to think about, I bought a H1 as a gift for
someone a few weeks ago and I noticed that the H2 was cheaper? As this
person was sighted I did consider getting the H2 though I'm told by people
in the know that the H1 has some advantages over the H2 which include less
noise when recording plus a lack of a menu system.

The H1 does exactly what it says it does, records and records damn well, if
you can operate a cassette recorder then you can easily operate a H1.
