O.k, I've now replaced my R09HR for this lovely looking Sony M10 and it certainly looks sexy.
I've set the clock and so far no issues although having purchased via the U.S I don't think I'll bother sending back for a cosmetic
issue, I'll just reset the clock prior to going to the gig...
Just crawled through 4 threads looking for more detailed settings for people recording LINE IN
I'll be using CA11/14's > CA Batt Box > Sony M10 and setting the recorder to 24/48 Rec mode
I will be recording shows in small venues (300) and fairly loud, not Mogwai or My Bloody Valentine loud
but certainly "Rock" loud.
Now, if I'm correct going line in means that all the Mic sens/limiter settings are overridden?
I also read that unity gain is anywhere between 4 and 6, so 5 seems reasonable.
Anything else for me to think about? If you're using your Sony with this sort of set up I'd be interested in
what settings you're using, like I say I've been through all the posts and unless I've missed them there's very little
in the way posts relating to this. Before anyone says about checking levels to get best results...Yes I understand
that in time I'll come to use what works best for me but at this point I'm looking for what works best for people
using this set up here...
Here's something that I've never considered but I see that others record this way
Recording via MIC IN and using the same
CA11/14's > CA Batt Box > Sony M10 and setting the recorder to 24/48 Rec mode
I saw one post that said to turn off the PIP on the recorder and set the MIC SENS to LOW
Can anyone using this method please tell me how they set up via MIC IN and.....
What are the relative benefits/restrictions to both methods, I'm obviously new to this unit and
am using it on Wednesday for the first time so it's important for me to get to grips with the pro/cons of
both these methods, like I say I've always used LINE IN on the Edirol.
Very lastly I picked up a pair of CA1's, I read somewhere that they can be powered without the Batt Box,
obviously I'd need to turn on the pip on the recorder but again does anyone have any thoughts on this method,
personally I don't like to trust this as I'd prefer my mics to be getting some juice via a 9v batt box or pre (CA9100)
Much appreciated
David.
