Hi!

If you´re recording silent fields e.g. ticks of a clock, whispering, marimba
or so, you hear afterwards on your recording on the right channel a
periodical noise. It is always then, if the Buffer is full and the data are
written on the disk. That´s a great pity, since the quality is very good
otherwise. I have connected an OKM II with an A3-Adaptor (www.soundman.de).
Now the Gmini operates as a Backup-HD for recorded CF´s from the R1.
The problem of MD is the ATRAC coding. Take good Headphones or Monitors -
you will hear - and feel... - it. I think, MP3 at 192 and higher and/or VBR
sounds much better. But if you´re interesting in very good results, you will
take an DAT or the R1.

Bye
Sascha
