Topic: Best 24 bit "bit bucket?"

[greppson]

i'm still undecided between the hd-p2 and the marantz 671. both would be modded in some way, but... yeah. i need to figure this out soon.

[greppson]

this may seem a bit like a stupid question, but how do you control the trim for each channel on a 671? all i see is a knob to the right that just looks to be the recording level.

the knob on the right that controls the recording level actually is two dials.  an inner and an outer dial.  it is setup like that, so it is very easy to control them both at the same time and have the same gain for both channels, but it is easy enough to hold one in place while adjusted the other knob, to fine tune the levels for each channel individually.

I use the Microtrack 24/96 with an AD-20.  Sounds absolutely fantastic, although the AD-20 limits me to 44.1 kHz.

EDIT: The AD-20 outputs a 20 bit signal so maybe this setup is irrelevant to you.

Speaking of 24-bit recorders with S/PDIF in, I have a Microtrack 2496, Core Sound MIC2496 dual mic pre/adc, and a set of CSB's and battery box for sale. PM if interested.

As for the PDA side of things - I ran my PDA on 512MHz two different shows and each time I got a dropout. The 2nd time I was even running 16 bits. I guess it could be a cable thing if I was messing around but from now on, I'm running at full speed.

We recommend running the X51v full blast and to turn off the dynamic cpu speed adjustment.

Update on the Axim recording scene:

Hackers have written a WM6 upgrade for the axim x50v (and I think x51v). The reason this is big news is that it provides us with SDHC compatibility and we'll be able to use up to 8GB SDHC cards.     

I'm in the middle of upgrading right now so I'll keeps ya'll posted how things work out.

it works.

I used the v08oct06 version of live2496, and recorded 3 hours 57 minutes to 8gb patriot and ocz class6 sdhc cards.

tested the waveform, zero dropped samples, buffer never went above single digits

YMMV!
test it at home first

That's really excellent news!

One word of caution to those that might read this. Read the thread that Steam Powered referred to very carefully and make sure that you follow the instructions. From the thread it seems that there is some risk of turning your pda into a "brick", so be careful!

seriously, 8gb is working great. 4 hrs at 2496 is a lot of space, and when the new flac codec is incorporated into live2496, were prob. looking at 7+ hrs on a $60 card

[macdaddy]

does this work with the x51v..?

[Digital Quality]

There is a separate effort ongoing for the x51v (I thought they could use the same ROM but that's not the case, sorry)  http://tinyurl.com/2uw9to It looks like there is a preview release out but I'm not sure how totally done it is, check the last few pages in that thread.
