Re: [microsound] re: a good mobile field sound recorder?

["sascha.renner" <autechre@xxxxxxxxx>]

ok, I made a test with some waterdrops falling into a pot of water and I must 
admit, that the only satisfying results could be achieved with 96kHz/24bit, and there
I got very good not noisy recordings.
but - at 44,1kHz and  48kHz there was a slight audible high tone (easy to filter out, but nasty anyhow) 
so I have learned to do all silent/subtle recordingsin 96kHz/24bit (glad I did this test), but then
I can achieve really satisfying results (but the recording time is cutted down) I have a 1GB card, so it´s not
so bad (about 33 minutes recording time), as I don´t intend to sit hours in the dark forrest anywhere.
hope my little test could help anybody.
cheers
sascha
