Topic: Sony PCM-M10 (part V)

I'll be damned....I just looked in the M10 box and saw that I too have a power adapter...along with a remote and a bracelet thingie....

Sure, leave the power adaptor in storage. But you might find the remote comes in mighty handy.

For what If you accidentally hit the stop button while recording, it stops the deck, even with the "hold" button on, correct?

Just tested it. You are indeed correct Bean.

That's what I thought Npow if it was nice and had levels and the "hold" actually worked, damn right I'd use it, but it doesnt

Well, I guess I like living dangerously...but I do like trackmarking during applause while the PCM-M10 stays tucked away, so I don't even use Hold. After all, the little glowing red light is pretty reassuring.

Sure, I'd like levels too, but:

I only use the m-10 for lo-pro and outright $tealth recording only, so the remote is all but useless for me. If I could engage hold and monitor and adjust levels w/ the remote then I would use it.

This is not correct.  I checked this with my deck tonight and the hold on my M10 doesn't allow me to stop the recording, The locked screen came up.  I had to switch hold to off then I was able to stop it  .I can still however move the levels even with hold on, so I just gaffed it so it couldn't move .

Were you using the remote?  They are talking about using the remote.

Nope, my bad.  Not using the remote.  Hopefully didn't confuse anyone.

I did the same thing, but I deleted my post!!

Would it be possible to terminate the remote cable into 2 TRS plugs in order to initiate recording for two decks simultaneously (i.e. quasi-synched) ?

If you want to try that, you can easily start/stop both M10's at the same time. I HIGHLY DOUBT they will be synched tho Thats why I bought A DR2D

[audBall]

Although I'm sure they wouldn't be perfectly syched (or technically syched at all), the remote method might be more precise than simply pressing record on both machines at the "same" time.  I was really just thinking out loud.  Starting and stopping the recordings with the remote (on two machines) should produce waveforms that could be mixed with little hassle.  Although, I assume some drift is possible, given the length of the recording.

More than "possible" - more like "certain".

Given the drift factor, it wouldn't save that much work to have the starts lined up.

What a great question and a great idea! i have no idea how bad the drift could be but i don't see why it could not be done.
