Drool (Tapers Content)

Look at this beautiful thing:

Now, if it could record 4-channels at 24/96 I could use it as an all-inclusive matrix recording device. Plug a board feed into it and position it as you would mics. Sweet.

neat and all but with the mics attached you'd have to put the whole thing up on the stand...or stand there and hold it like it's a geiger counter...nice meters tho!

sweet looking machine - high on the "cool factor" as Sony says. not sure it's worth the price though, given that it's more geared for journalists than tapers. it cannot do a few things that tapers would normally need. there's no HQ interface for better, more convenient, external mics, let alone phantom power. (and at over a pound, its too big to hang on a stand to use the built-ins.) there's no coax digi for A/D, just usb. and it only runs for 3hrs. the limiter is a really nice feature though, as are the uber-cool analog meters. that said, if someone wants to give me one, I will say yes, please.

ive always been struck by how Sony seems to be on the very leading edge of stealth technology (D7/8, M1, MD, and now this D1) yet they also own so much copyright to material that they'd hate to have recorded. different corporate divisions, I know, but still, there's gotta be a lot of "jeesh, look what those techies have come up with now!" going on over there.

I love analogue 'needle' meters like that. So sweet.
