Topic: Anybody mix recordings from R-09 and M10?

^ Again, that's assuming that the drift is constant, right?

Yes, that's assuming the drift is constant but the be honest you're the only person I've ever seen who said digital devices didn't produce a constant drift. 

In theory and practice I've never seen otherwise.  Are you sure there weren't other factors that made it happen to you?  Maybe it was limited to a specific device or model?  Or maybe the drive or card you were using had some issue?

I understand that in theory temperature could cause an inconsistent drift but I've never had that happen to me; at least not to an extent that it was noticable.

If I did come across this problem, I'd probably chop one of the files up into sections (even into each separate song, if needed) and align and time-stretch them individually.

Having said that, if I did come across a drift that was quite so inconsistent, I think I would be suspecting an underlying problem in one of the recording devices.

I've mixed audio from a D8 with that from a cheap Sony camcorder and a prosumer Canon one, Microtrack and those two same cameras, D8 and Iriver 320, Microtrack and Iriver 320, R09 and Iriver 120, and R09 and M10 - consistent drift (to my ears, anyway) every time. Not saying that it doesn't happen though - maybe I've just been lucky.

Well, according to reply #11, I'm not the only one.
However, you may be right. There could have easily been other factors including user errors...
