Hi all!
I am using PTP-1 pocket to record a live
performances or rehearsall with good stereo mic,
that I bought together with my old minidisc. It
works really well. I can send you a recording
of the vocal group I am teaching, that I made
in old cathedral. It is group of five female
singers who are singing a traditional music from
Dalmacia, a region in Croatia. Tell me if you are interested.
Best regards!
Mario

Hey Gord,
Don't know if you've heard about this one, but I
just acquired the Plextalk Pocket that Freedom
Scientific introduced a few months back. It's
totally accessible from the ground up. Even
though it's a Daisy unit, you can record Wave
files at 16-bit with a sampling rate of 44.1
KHZ. It'll play back 24-bit files as well;
moreover, you can connect a high quality stereo
mic to it if you're going to use it to record a
live situation. Even though it records in Daisy
format, you can transfer audio files right to
your computer to do standard editing, etc. It
also has line-in capabilities, plus an
accessible recording level meter. It'll also
support up to a 32-gig SD card. I'm using it
primarily as a player for support tracks when
I'm performing. I would think that it would do
nicely for folks that are looking for something
portable that will give you a decent stereo recording.
I do like the fact that it'll let you read audio
and text-based Daisy books, Audible books, text
files, and it has wi-fi capabilities for
downloading podcasts and listening to Web radio
stations. You can even record voice memos too. I
haven't used a high quality stereo mic on it as
I don't have one as yet. I think it's a pretty neat little gadget.
Take care.
Mike

It depends on what you mean by accessible. The
olympus stuff is the only thing that has actual
voice prompts. If you memorize some basic menus
you can certainly use the zoom h4n which is a
much better quality unit and will even let you
do four-channel recording, which Iâ??ve
done. Itâ??s just a shame that the menus
wrap. I know that Yamaha has just come out with
one, and historically their menus donâ??t wrap
so it might be worth checking out.
