The OD was good for this but slabs have none. Is there any loss by recording to rdat? I'm wondering if I should get a tape backup drive (like a 1.2g Exebyte) or wait for audio rdat recorders to become common. The thing I like about the Ariel mic is that it has line ins. The mic itself is dissapointing. Is there anyone making a box that simply provides line ins for less money? (The reason for not using the codec mic is that its sr == 8k and I'd like to get sounds off CD sample libs). Any solder heads out there who could tell me how to make one? Any opinions welcome. ======= more direct: vortech!gene@Central.Sun.COM Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
