AW: portable recorder advice...

["Rainer Thelonius Balthasar Straschill" <rs@moinlabs.de>]

are there any recorders available (solid state or HD) which allow the
use of FLAC? Oh my, it just seems that there is another reason to use
the coresound variant ;-)

(and again, Tom, sorry for sending this as a private email to you...)

speaking of mindisc artifacts...there was this friend of mine (an audio
AMS electronics specialist, who actually built this power amp prototype
with a SNR of better than 156dB (unweighted!) and retained a SNR of
>140dB in the series production) who when we talked about the Magneto
plugin shortly after it was released predicted a "Midisco" plugin which
might be released 15 years in the future...nine more years to go ;-)

If you are intending to re-use and/or master your material, I strongly
suggest using uncompressed audio and not a mini-disc.  the ATRAC
encoding that's used in MD is very smart and careful to try to only
remove information that's not audible -- but if you for example apply EQ
to your track after encoding you might find some pretty dreadful
artefacts.
