corelli Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hello All - would like to have opinions on whether to send this unit back?Never, ever had this problem with my RH10!Just recorded a live vocal recital last night... all my settings on the new M100 are identical to the settings I've always used on my RH10 for the last year and a half, including time mark on and set to 4:00. MD unit in my jacket pocket as always, pen mike placement, battery fully charged, disc formatted, etc., etc...Instead of having 20 or so tracks in the group of 4:00 each, with a total of roughly 80 minutes of recorded music, I have 43 tracks: several are 4:00, one is 1:52, but most are 2-6 seconds each (for a total of only roughly 20 minutes of recording!) This shows up on the display as well as in SS 3.4The thing is, when the music moves from a shorter track to the next track, it is AS IF THE ENTIRE 4:00 OF PREVIOUS MUSIC had been recorded. i.e. each track starts, not with continuity of music from the previous track, but at the point as if the previous track of, say 2 seconds, had been the full 4:00 of time.Sadly, it seems that I lost a lot of music from this unique musical event. Any help will be sincerely appreciated.Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 If you were just getting auto track marks after 5 seconds of quiet, that would be normal. But losing music is not. That should not be happening. I suggest you send it back under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Are you using mic-in or line-in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corelli Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Thank you A440 & greenmachine for the quick responses!Are you using mic-in or line-in?This was using a pen mic, the same I've used with my RH10 without fail.Like a lover that cheats on you, I guess I can't really trust this unit again (though just doing random recording around the home now, I can't duplicate this aberrant behavior.) I think it will be going back anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) With Mic-In you shouldn't get any auto track marks except the ones you wanted at 4:00. One other question--could there have been something in your pocket wedged up against the Pause button? So that perhaps you were accidentally Pausing and un-Pausing it during the recording ?

greenmachine Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Good idea. The hold switch is a must during a recording with the recorder in a pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
