Clarification: The Camera OUT signal is not interrupted by transport actions or write errors, REC start/stop etc.

Is this 4 channel output from the mixer or is this just 2 channels?

Thanks for the manual link.  I think I'm going to jump - this looks like the perfect bridge between my recording equipment (esp mics) and my GH1, which so far has only been used with its internal mics (no disaster but not the Real Thing).  And it can double as an audio-only recorder (not that I'm short of them....).

Is the use of the record button to pause, as well as to record, unique?  I'm not sure I like the principle of pressing a red record button to STOP recording (at least temporarily).  Goes against the grain.  Usually pressing record (on other devices I've come across) while record is in progress is a safe thing to do, causing either nothing or the dropping of a marker.  I would have thought that pressing the stop button would have been better (then press record to continue after pause, or press stop a second time to come out of record mode altogether and close the file).  Still, I'll get used to it.  My order is in.

My LS-10 uses the Record button as a pause as well (and begins in standby on the initial press of Record).

Tascam still has not added any software updates that allow auto saving the files.  At least now they flat out state that if you lose power the files are lost and unrcoverable

The ability to close the current file and start a new one simply by pressing the "forward" button gives a degree of insurance - for instance you could do that between each song of a live set, and if something went seriously wrong you'd only lose the current song.

Interesting device.  Am I just missing it or does this recorder NOT have a way to power it externally?

ok I guess, didn't read that in manual and don't have time right now to do it.  I guess that works , yeah sure if you wanna sit there doing that all night long instead of enjoying the show.  Still does not help with accidental loss of power or battery dying unexpectedly.  You're just fucked.  Dunno why Tascam can't write their software to auto save for the DR series decks.  They did on the HD-p2 so they do know how.  it is one of my biggest complaints with my 680. It has fucked me more than once.

  I invariably drop a marker between each song in a show as it goes along to make it much easier to find stuff later - so this wouldn't be an issue for me, personally.  I'd just end up with separate files instead of one big file with markers.  But yes, much more humble gear protects files against failures.

Just got my tracking number, so hopefully I'll have mine before the end of the week (just about).  Needless to say I will report back with my opinion!
