As far as I can tell the A77 is now regarded as a +3dB taperecorder.

My question is how does the S545 compare...
I've done a bit of research and believe both of these mics will be suitable for my voice. As i will be buying over the internet I wont get a chance to try before buying.

I have a test tape. This is 355 nWb/m [+6dB] tape.
My question is what voltage do I set the replay level to when running the test tape.

Does anybody out there use N-track together with a Terratec DMX 6fire 24/96 soundcard. The soundcard has a front control panel with analogue/digital ins/outs etc.
The reason i'm asking is that the N-track program itself seems fine for
my needs. As long as N-track will work OK with my DMX 6fire...
Can anybody out there give me advice on choosing a program.

Are they also suitable for the DMT8 ? not DMT8-VL
I read somewhere that the DMT8 with original
software will only recognise 512 mb disks.
If the machine has Version2 software then it will recognise disks
up to 2GB but...
