Not yet! I'm on a PC and it doesn't like your file names (I think the ">" is illegal in Windows). I'll give it a listen when I get home on my Mac.
I'm just thinking that the audio you feed into the camera will get replaced by the audio that you record onto the DR-60D. In other words, the audio on the video track is just a "rough" version. The audio that you record on the DR-60D can be 24 bit where you can dial in the gain and add any eq you like in post. Whereas on the camera (at least on MY cameras) the audio is 16-bit, so I wouldn't be able to modify it as much as the 24-bit version.
Anyway, that is the way I'm thinking of using it. I normally go from my PSP2 > camera, but the deal is still the same -- I usually end up replacing the audio with a processed version. The 4-channel and the slate feature appealed to me.
I'm just videoing my kids anyway, so it's probably overkill. But then again, isn't that the fun of taping?
(obaaron knows -- he's seen my rig)
Did you mean FCP (you wrote tcp)? I didn't know it had a sync feature. I'll look into how to do it! Thanks!
I'm not sure if the hiss is that much of a concern. Isn't the main point of this package that you want to capture the high quality audio on the DR-60D, then sync it to the video in post? The ADCs on the Tascam are hopefully better than going line out, preamps on the camera, then ADC on the camera. I assume that is why they are including PluralEyes in the deal too.
I was assuming that the line out to the camera is just for easier sync'ing purposes (hence the slate button).
did you listen to the samples?
imo the m10 is better then the dr60d anyway so unless you want 4 channels or a small 48v all in one there is no advantage of using this over the m10
plus if you are on a mac tcp has a built in synch feature that does exactly what pe3 is meant for anyway
curious to see others test results before i send mine back i suppose its possible that I got a bum unit but i don't think so
edit, maybe i'll do a straight silence sample
i'll record using the cameras built in mic then plug in the out from the dr60d and see if/how it changes
