Well, actually there hasnt been much of a sound difference, when using the r1 line or the md line. Which is a bit dissapointing, but allright since there are lots of other improvements (cf cards, adjustable level while recording, not having to worry about skips and so on).
I had some problems with very audible hiss with the r1, appearing when adding gain afterwards on the computer (wavelab). When cranking up volume on the headphones the gain is good and not too much hiss, but i want to be able to have the headphones on normal level (otherwise i cant use it in my music of course:)), while still having enough gain and not too much hiss.
Anyways the problem isnt that big since i started turning down the volume on the r1 headphones, to get a more realistic picture of the sound. This way i dont have to crank it up in wavelab afterwards..
So.. Theres a lot for me to learn about using the equipment! Didnt have to tweak very many knobs using my old md-->ms959 setup:) Which of course also gave me poors results.
Those are some nice mics!:)
But im going to buy an rode nt4, which seems perfect for my application, urban/nature field recording.
Best regards
