  1. Thanks for all the info, people. This is a great forum. Basically, people I have talked to all said the same thing: The more info you have to work with in the beginning, the better. Ideally 24 bits at 192 would be perfect. Wish my wallet would agree!
  2. Some recorders available can record up to 48KHZ, but only 16 bit. Others can record 24 bit, but only at 44.1 KHZ. Which would provide a better sound? Also, would using an XLR to miniplug adapter be very detrimental to sound (Of course, while somehow providing phantom power if necessary).
  3. Thanks, everyone! Mahalo for all your help.
  4. Thanks for all the leads, people! The 670 was something I was looking into, and the 671 looks even better. That can be a school purchase, for sure. Still wondering for a portable. The JB3 is so large compared to a minidisc, though, and still needs a good preamp for quality sound (kills portability). Maybe a 671 for school (with preamp and good mics) and a Hi-MD for portable setup?
  5. Thanks a lot, Kurisu. Very informative! Henris
  6. Since Hi-MD and the others can all record in PCM format, would the sound be indistinguishable from each other?
  7. Well, since it is a personal purchase (rather than a school one), I think I would be willing to spend around $350. Already have a mic and battery box from Sound Professionals.
  8. Thanks for the replies, everyone. I am aware of the high $$ equipment: DAT, Alesis Masterlink, etc. with the $2,000 mics and $1,000 pre-amp (None of which my school can afford right now). Also, I have explored the CF-based recorders, too. I want to purchase a personal system that can record my band well while still giving me freedom to listen to my music and possible double as a storage device. My old college band director uses DAT for pro recordings and an IRiver 140 for personal recordings. I recently heard about the Neuros, and it sounded really good. I will check up on any suggestions, though!
  9. I am a band director, and own an old MZR-909 that I use to record my band rehearsals. I was initially interested in Hi-MD, especially because of the PCM recording option and I gig disks. However, I know there are several problems with sonicstage that I want to avoid. Many HDD players didn't have a decent preamp or level monitors. Neuros supposedly has level monitors and the like. Any info on this player? Has anyone taken any terrific recording (uncompressed) with the Hi-MD?
