Had my first test! Went to a small club and set up cardioid (at 853) and omni (ca-14) mics too because my previous card recs didn't sound really good in that room. Recorded 7 hardcore bands. Though I have no problem with synching, its really comfortable that you dont need to synch before mix!
Cardioid is louder, it sounded better this night. This is not really a good sounding room!

Set input to low and 97. I chose to insert my battery box to mic in because that one can not change input level, as ca-9200, so I could set it on DR-2d. Mic input was set around 70. While reading here that under 67/95 level the sound could be brickwalled(?) I was afraided a bit what if the sound is too high? Because I go to loud rock shows, as you can see at the sample. But with these settings the volume is even quieter than I expected, so Im calm I dont have such a problem.
Even I could have added a +10 db gain on ca-9200 (volume was set max) and mic level could have been 80+
Used Duracell nimh 2450 batteries (recorded in 16/44), recorded about 3,5 hours, but seemed like it could be enough for 7 hrs.
Littlie dislike: I got used to on Edirol that remaining time means full on the card. DR-2d shows what remains of 2gb, as I remember. It isn't really important information for me.
