Hi Aidan, Id agree with you that, when you use the Plextalk Pocket in combination with the PRS software, you can pretty much achieve an end result which is just as good as a recorder which records and edits direct into WAV or MP3. As far as Im concerned, to mess about editing on a hardware recorder is much slower than transferring the recording to software like PRS and doing the editing there PRS is so much more efficient. I reckon, if you use this combination well, you end up with the best of both worlds because, not only do you end up with a fully edited DAISY title but, as you point out, if you run the audio export feature, you also end up with WAV or MP3 files that can simply be lifted out of the DAISY structure and played on any other device that handles these formats. The resulting files dont need the DAISY navigation structure around them to play properly.

I agree that it should be able to record audio only if you don't need daisy, but I did find that if you export that recording in prs using the export audio feature, then it will split the files physically. I also like the volume knobs and stuff that give you better control and I also don't use automatic gain ever. I do like the level feedback that plextalk give, but I agree that once you no how to set it and can here what's going on, it is becoming a little less needed, as steve said it doesn't give numbers.

Also do it that way.
But then the recorder must not use any kind of AGC!

Hi sorry to butt in on this one as I have never used the ptp to record from the hi-fi but I do use an olympus dm and other things. Because of the lack of verbal prompts on most things I always use a mixer. By connecting the output source to a mixer using 2 channels for stereo if needed all impedance mismatches and recording levels are controled using the mixer gain, volume and tone controls etc. Its amazing how you soon get used to setting levels as needed without audio prompts just using manual knob controls on the mixer. regards cliff
