LOL, hey... small world.
Can I not have 4 channels of Line-In on the 2D? I run my Mics through an external pre and obviously my other source is line level (
). I wouldn't have to scrap my external pre would I?
IIRC the H4n can have 4 channels of line in, right? I was looking at those too.
It's just that the H2 is so annoying - it can do what I want it to. 4 channels of simultaneous 24/48 WAV A/D conversion and subsequent saving of the data. That's all I want. I couldn't care less about onboard mics or preamps. But short of getting hold of some detailed circuit diagrams and a master electrician I'm stuck with going through the onboard mic preamps before I can get to the A/D and data saving.
I wouldn't be averse to doing something similar to yourself. IE, a separate 4ch pure A/D converter into bit bucket of some sort. Or even just 2 x 2ch. I don't mind manually syncing after the fact. Obviously with the, er,
standard of my other equipment I don't need big and expensive and pro A/Ds. Something equal in quality to the ones inside the H2 would do, just... more of them, and separate. I mean if they can fit 4 channels of A/D inside the H2 along with 4 mics and 4 channels of preamp, in theory, I should be able to get 4 pure A/D channels in equal quality in half the physical size (and half the price). Just so long as someone makes a suitable product... which they probably don't. You know of anything suitable? Or I think perhaps we should continue this over email
I had hoped I was gonna stop pestering you soon... apparently not
