[kfrinkle]

I would like to know how 'easy' it is to turn the volume knob that does not lock with the lock button....

We gt low prices for gear.  They get universal health care, no cost
or low cost universities, public transportation that works, and so on.

Not to mention that USA gets 10% worse care than most western countries for about 25% more than it costs in other countries.

Concerning the volume control not locking  I feel like it isnt a problem with the guard around it. I have not had any issues with the voulme changing when it is in my pocket. When I need to adjust the level it is easy to do,so I would not want it to lock.

Is it a digital volume control or proper analogue?

[mloewen]

I believe its analogue not like the H2 Zoom . Ill let the more technical
guys answer about the details of that.

Unfortunately ANR...worldwide sales have always resulted in price fluctation that sometimes is plain unavoidable.

I do have plans to order the PCM-M10 for it's smaller footprint, but do have a question regarding whete or not it will produce the same "gapless track division" I so appreciate with my PCM-D50. Any idea for those that have one handy, whether the tradition lives on with the PCM-M10, thanks.

The very same gapless track division as the D50.  I've recorded several shows with my M10 and I love it.  The only thing I don't know yet is whether or not the plug-in power provided is sufficient to power my AT's and Church microphones.  I guess we'll have to wait for Guysonic to do his test.

Thanks Dave,

Gapless division between tracks is a hot issue for DAP users and myself. I also have the R-09HR and LS-10..both interrupt track after track very annoying. That is one of the reasons I still prefer Minidisc format for it's seamless playback, very flexible editing for sure Well looks like I'll be plucking down the dollars for this PCM-M10. It seems to be the all around favorite in my book. With regard to PIP Dave, I hope it has the Mic drive for your setup.

Take Care,

Gordon

I'm more of a listener than a taper, so I'm also interested in this gapless ability. It might not be the kind of "gaplessness" I'm looking for, though - the PCM-M10 may not create a gap in the audio data when dividing tracks, but does it also play the tracks seamlessly, without a break in the playback? And if so, does this also work for mp3-files? The latter is usually the big issue for listeners, as the mp3-format is prone to gaps due to the way it encodes the data, and regrettably few DAP-makers ensure their players can play the tracks without short pauses inbetween.

Cheers,
Björn

On the Zoon H2 I used to have, there was the gap issue after the 2 GB file size has been reached. I think Zoom released a software fix for this recently.

Can anyone tell me if the same problem happens on the Edirol R09-HR? Is there a gap between the two files or does it start recording the second file right after the first one has ended?

Thank you

Regarding R09-HR... The recorded file that is Split both at 2GB Limit or Manually, remains seamless. However... during playback on R09-HR, there is a Gap at the Split point. I verified the fact the file remains seamless by Combining the Split files using the new Ver. 2.0 Firmware update from Edirol for the R-09HR. This update is a fine addition to this recorder.

Hope this clears up any misleadings:)

Can you still use Sonic Stage software with this unit ?

It looks like it has Soundforge Audio Studio packaged with it. It also came with the D50. It doesn't have all the features of Sound Forge, but it's worked well enough for me.

I only use Sonic Stage to transfer/convert those *&^%$ .oma files from my Hi-MD to PC. Don't know why you'd want or need to use it with this unit.

Oh no, now you've done it. You said it.
The S word.

The world will start to implode in 1... 2....
"Unchain me!", your audio cries.
"Copy me like a data file", sez another.
"Free me!" sez the WAV file.

They do get scared and start speaking like crazies when the S word is mentioned. Please consider their sensitivities.

There there, little audio files. The world is safe.
For now.

we're on 15% VAT rather than 163% - I've found another dealer advertising that same price now, it really is silly.  You can get a PCM-D50 for £430
