I used my tunetalk at a show last sat. did not use ex.mic the sound quality was very good but it only recorded for one hour then was dead there was some clipping or skipping in some of the play back not sure why??thinking of getting the Ikey let me know if anybody knows hoW to stop the clipping....using a 30GB.........KILLDEERZ
Do you have samples of the clipping? Just trying to figure out exactly what you mean by "clipping"? Anyway, couple possibilities, depending on the cause of the "clipping":
<1> The mics are overloaded from the high sound pressure levels (SPLs, or volume, basically) hitting the mics.
Solution: use mics that have a higher SPL rating, i.e. replace the TT with something else (don't know if it's possible to record with the iPod without the TT).
<2> The mics can handle the high SPLs but the analog-input on the TT / iPod cannot.
Solution: replace the TT and/or iPod, depending on which is causing the problem. (But really, since the TT is made specifically for the iPod - can it be used with other devices? - the solution is probably to replace both the TT and the iPod.)
<3> The mics and TT / iPod analog-inputs can handle the high SPLs, but the levels are too high for the iPod's analog-to-digital converter (ADC), causing true "clipping" during analog-to-digital conversion (i.e. 3 or more consecutive samples hitting 0 dBFS).
Solution: reduce the recording levels so the loudest sound recorded does not hit 0 dBFS. If this is the problem, and this solution doesn't work (i.e. you're not able to reduce the recording levels low enough so you don't hit 0 dBFS), then you're basically SOL for using the TT / iPod for recording loud sources (like concerts).
