Kindguy,
What type of laptop are you recording to? Also, what is your sound card? Just curious as I use a VX Pocket and a Dell Latitude. With an 18amh SLA, I can record for over 6 hours with the screen on and lide open. But damn, that shit's killin' my back, and the valence sounds like my indoor solution.
Thanks for the info
HP pavilion n5150
40 gig HD (being installed tomorrow)
800 MHz processor
198 ram
I'm running warm UA-5 via USB
My Valance ran the whole Panic show. 3 hours of tape...errr audio. With 2 lights left (less than 40 %)
I set the screen to turn off after 2 min. & maybe checked it 8 times. Plenty of battery
Valance is light & easy to stash in the bag. I suggest getting one. Keep the SLA's for festivals.
