Advantages: Good features, sound quality, can be bought cheaply on ebay. Disadvantages: No phantom power some leaking issues.
The most expensive of Tascams portastudio range. The 424 MKIII is a very good purchase for the musician on a budget who needs more than just plug and play features.
The unit contains, 4 unpowered balanced XLR inputs. 4 jack inputs. (you can't use bolth the xlr and jacks at once) and 2 further jack inputs.
So if you were to use XLR - Jack converters. You could run 6 microphones through the unit at once.
The unit does have a tricky operation however.
First you must select the input,
line/mic - for microphones and jack inputs
off - for no input
tape - for monitoring whilst recording on another channel to monitor without leakage.
Then there is a 4 band e.q., high, high-mid, mid and low. Very few portastudios have a 4 band e.q.
Next are the effect sends, if you have a compressor of effects unit connected, these dictate how ...
Advantages: Compact, Powerful, Large Storage, Good connectivity, Quick Play Media Centre Disadvantages: Shared Graphics Card, No Laptop Case, No bluetooth installed
I bought the HP DV1355ea for use on the road so I was looking for a smallish machine, with loads of RAM and storage. I found all this with the 14" screen, 100GB Hard drive and 1024MB RAM. I run intensive music and video apps and apart from the sluggish graphics this laptop handles it all. I run a USB powered Sound Card (Tascam US 122) and have not had any problems with that so far. The design is great with a black body vs blue light scheme which is better than most PC laptops. HP Quick Play is great for playing DVD/CD's without having to bootup Windows - I can have a CD playing within 1 min. The Altec Lansing speakers are much better than most laptops I looked at, but I wish someday a manufacurer would utilise the body of the laptop to produce some more bass resolution. I have recently bought a MP3/Pen Drive for transferring small files ...
Advantages: very neat, easy to connect to a PC, runs for ages on a single AAA battery Disadvantages: feels and looks cheap/nasty, fiddly controls, sound quality not the best
lead is supplied. Once connected WS-331M is seen as a mass storage device to which any file type - not just audio - can be added via copy/paste or drag/drop. So WS-331M could prove very handy for students and others who frequently have to work on different machines in different locations. In fact, the ability to hold many various files is perhaps WS-331M's greatest asset. If you don't need as much storage then WS-311M (512Mb) or WS-321M (1Gb) offer the same features at lesser cost. The other good thing is that, unlike earlier power-hungry dictation machines (not just Olympus ones), which required two AA batteries, all these latest models run for ages on a single AAA, either alkaline or NiMh rechargeable. There's also voice activated recording for those who need it.
As a brief aside, I've been using handheld dictation machines since ...
