fwiw, with live2496, you can make 4gig wav files, to CF cards/microdrives, so it can be done...

New Update, see attached.

No digi-out for patcing???

Nope, but I'm glad to know this is acceptable to use for recording worship.

And it comes with a heady stereo electret microphone...rok on!

So this might be a stupid question, so flame away if deserved.

If we are going to run external power, is there a right angle USB cable that would allow the unit to sit on top of our bags, etc.?  I don't see a straight USB cable being that secure or fitting in a Nova 5 the way I'd want it to. 

Just something to stir up more "what if" conversation.

If I were you I would go Digi in anyway, not USB.  I would assume that the usb is for puilling the file off of the CF card if you didn't have a built in card reader on you computer.  It is also used from my understanding as the charging port for the internal battery.  Remember no question is a stupid question only the one not asked......... see not even a spark HEHEHEHEHEHE

I think he was looking to power the unit w/ an external battery via the USB port...

I agree that digi in would be the way to record.  My question was in regards to the external power options.  It appears to me that you are limited to 3 hours record time when using it to supply phantom power.  That isn't so hot for festies.  So just like we us Walmart batteries / RC packs / SLA's to power our rigs for festivals now, how are we going to power this baby? 

The way I read it, the internal lithium-ion can only be "recharged" via the USB port.  Will it be possible to rig an external battery to power the device via the USB port, or will this only allow us to "recharge" the internal battery as stated?  If it only allows us to recharge, does that mean that we'll have to use a separate device to provide our phantom for festivals in order to achieve the 8 hour run time?

The right angle USB cable was a small portion of a bigger picture I was trying to convey.

from that spec sheet:

powered via USB, rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included)
or optional power supply

USB 1.1 or 2.0 port is required for connection to computer and charging.




this should be interesting.  proprietary outboard battery?

[kindms]

I have the "USB" option on my VR Box (Thanks Marc) so hopefully that can be used with this device

we shall see. USB being 5v I cant see why it wouldn't

[Simp-Dawg]

i'd bet it can be powered via the usb port while running, and if so then making a battery should be easy.  by the way here's what you want for your right-angle mini-b usb cable:

but it still sticks out a good inch, it seems from the picture.  better than nothing i guess.  might be able to just rig up a regular mini-b usb plug with a brace that goes around the microtrack to hold it in place...just thinking out loud.

how would you process a 4GB wav tho

Well if it was recorded in wav64 or SDIIextended there are plenty of programs on the Mac to open it.

unless you are running win98 - then you would be in trouble...
