I also posted this in the team Church Audio thread a couple of days ago. I looking for an little external feedback. I have been recording for about six months now and am still trying to perfect my methods. If anyone has time to ldownload and isten to the file in the link and let me know what you think I would be appreciative. It is one track from a recording I made Friday night at a jazz performance in a small club in NYC.

CA-14 (omnis) -> CA-9100 -> PCM-M10 (24 bit/44.1kHz)
converted to 16bit with Audacity.
Thanks.
Sounds really good, how far were you from the stage?
About 10 feet
Yea man, came out damn near perfect. I just recorded a show with the internals a few hours ago. Didn't turn out so great, learned a few things though.
- Don't leave the M10 in your shirt pocket (using internals), it will muffle the sound (learned this in the car, before the show)
- Under manual rec, don't go under 1.4 (maybe 1.2) or so unless you want a super quiet recording. Didn't think it could handle a loud show... kinda didn't.
- The M10's internals cant handle
super loud bass (it will distort), turn on the LCF (may still distort) or move away from the speakers.
- The limiter may have been useful if it keeps the bass under control (Didn't test this, I kept it off)
- Adjusting the rec level will lead to some scraping sounds, don't adjust it more than you need to.
- Not really good for loud rock shows, period. (Unless you find a really good spot to record from, possibly away from speakers more than a few feet)
I really gotta save up for some externals
