** On closer inspection, it's more likely a Spitfire mk IX.

Anybody any experience of the Marantz PMD660...??

http://www.solidstatesound.co.uk/marantz_pmd660.htm

Take google to the archives of rec.audiio.pro .

I seem to recall that people say that it is pretty good. A bit pricey.

I'm toying with the idea of mooching about (next year,
probably) with a view to grabbing 'naturally occuring
sounds' - up to very loud, close-up WW2 aircraft engines,
possibly. Are these gadgets up to it, or are they really
only close-range voice recorders?

This class of machines are really pretty good digital recorders.

I'm kinda dismissing the Edirol, Nagra and Maycom options
on the same page, but the Fostex looks interesting...??

Why dismiss any of them? Why not consider the Sony, M-Audio and Samson
alternatives?

And why sodding CF cards - is there a particular
reason...??

CF are cheap and effective and lots of people already have them.

Why not a laptop with a USB sound card?



Got both them here, but not in any way practical - I need to be able to 'get
right amongst it' - see:

- note the flapping trousers!! ;-)

Blimey Keith, no wonder you like horns, your hearing must be shot, I
SAID YOUR HEARING MUST BE SHOT.


To give you a clue, I got doinked on the head by the wing of this one, when
it was being manhandled off the field!!

I HAVE (oops, sorry, still shouting), a Fostex Pocketstudio 5 which is a
neat little device, though I don't suppose you would need the built in
drum 'n' bass.

EH? WHAT.....???

HALF PAST TWO....!!!

(Gives me a bit of a bone hearing them airplane engines that close, I don't
mind telling you!! :-)

Do you mean for sale? If so gimme a shout direct - although, what I really
want is ideally summat with XLR sockets and phantom power.

In a desperate attempt to force myself to get out and about more, I want to
record natural sounds for combining with instrumental music as well as
(possibly) being able to travel to anyone who can play summat nice that I
can use in a mix.....

(No-one will be safe, but Katherine Jenkins is playing reet hard to get atm:

- I think she doubts the *integrity* of my intentions...??!! :-)


Anyway, to give you an idea, here are a few examples of 'natural sounds'
being superbly blended with music:

Traffic: http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/Good%202CU.mp3

Birdsong: http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/Superman.mp3

Wind and 'space': http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/Superman.mp3

Fairground: http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/Brighton.mp3


All been done a million times before I know, but that's no reason not to
have a go!!

;-)

While I'm on, I'm gagging to get hold of an mp3 of a tune from way back
called (I think) 'African Waltz' or 'African Safari' - it might have been
used on the soundtrack of The Strange World Of Gurney Slade, but anybody
would know it if I said it was always running through my mind when I was
riding the rails in the London Underground when I wuz a kid!

That and 'Mambo Italiano' instrumental only....??

Would be etrnally grateful for either or both!! :-)

OK - found it! :-)

It *is* African Waltz, but the version I want is a simple (solo?)
instrumental, not this (excellent) Cannonball Adderley version (Sample 6)

Jane Siberry.

Gone a bit weird and calls herself 'Issa' now, I believe...??

Instead of?


The now ubiquitous and cheap SD Cards that I already have in a number of
gadgets here..??



Found the answer - it's so IBM Microdrives can also be used in the same
slot....
