Topic: Just bought myself a Sony PCM-M10

I always save my raw file and then the file I did my tweaks to.  You never know when you may want to go back to that original file.

It's always a good idea to save the original file if the material means a lot to you.

Yep.

i burn 4 copies of EVERY SET, including RAW files and files normalized then track 16/24bit files DVDs are cheap, so why the FU&% not

im thinking of lining my m10 up with my nak mx100 and my cm-300's....anybody try this yet?
im still unfamiliar with the m10....

I haven't tried it but it should work just fine.  RCA out of the MX100 to 1/8" into the M10, utilizing the preamps of the nak mixer.  That would be a nice, fairly compact setup.  If the 300s are battery powered, you might be able to run directly into the M10, although I assume running through the pres in the mixer would sound better.

Limiter is in the details submenu of the menu.

Rec level sets input gain.

A couple of years too late maybe?!

Ah, I see.  You're reporting a bite in the, er, nether regions.  I'll therefore add the comment that it actually takes not many moments to quickly skim through the menu settings before each outing to ensure that nothing has somehow got mis-set.  A minute spent on that can save various kinds of subsequent grief.

Both Limiter and Low Cut Filter have a display indicator on the unit. Bottom right corner of the display. LIM if limiter is engaged and LFC if the Low Cut Filter is engaged. It also tells you if you are recording MP3 or LPCM and what sample rate - bit depth you have selected.

Scoobie, I do check the bit/sample rate read out and the LIM has been on from day one... shoot me... but since low light is the norm when setting up the rig, and I've been living with "set it and leave it" forever, I never thought to recognize if a LCF just to the right of LIM was present.  I do go in and out of the menu to flip from internal to aux memory for formatting and for some reason that is a setting that doesn't play nice.  (Perhaps that's a function of hooking up to USB and moving files, I don't know.)  If there was something at that stage that showed the other menu item status, it might have saved me...  Very good of you to bring that extra alert to my attention ... without editorializing.

I haven't touched LCF since I first configured my M10 three years ago. I only found the LCF flag when I tested after reading these posts. Just seemed like Sony would put an indicator in the display, and they did.

It takes a lot for me to mock a tech for missing something. My day job is running  a repair shop for a large production company. Everyone has the 'duh moments.
