Comments When I first heard about the HHB DRM85 combo microphone/flash recorder I thought it sounded like a great (if a bit pricy—it seems to be going for about $1299 most places) solution for a lot of interview-centric folks out there. Up until now I hadn’t seen an actual real world evaluation of how it worked in the field, but Radio World online just posted exactly that. Even better, they verified that the ability to add markers to your recorded audio comes through directly into Audition, which is really convenient for marking those bits you’ll want to make sure to listen to later. It can record for 3:15 in PCM mode so not having to listen to all of that again would definitely speed things up.
Hi,I’ve been playing with Audition 2.0 for a few months and I thinkit’s a great program.Could you tell me what the preferred Audio format (codec) would be fornews agencies/radio stations/broadcasting industry? (I mean thefinal format they use to have their raw sound files converted to, after they’refinished with editing).Could MP3 or MPEG4 (aac codec-MP4) be used at a radio station for broadcastingmusic, etc?I don’t know much about these things. Is there a good source on thenet you could introduce, so I can get some info about what’s happening in theaudio industry/plus some info on audio formats that tv/radio stations use these days?ThanksMika
The one problem that a lot of stations will have with the HHB Flash Record Mic is that it’s 48k only. Most stations run at 44.1.
this thing sounds great…how is its sound quality??
thanks for the link hart. we have been looking for ways to speed up the process of interviewing someone on location and getting it cut into a podcast for Zoom In Online. This looks like it would really speed things up (we use a mix od mini disc and DAT right now), but that price tags makes it unlikely I’ll pick up more than one!
The Flashmic will be supporting 44.1khz shortly if not already
Is Tascam’s Fireone compatible with Audition 2.0? It looks like it would be fun to use with it.Good question! We don’t have one here in the office to try, though. You might ask if anyone on the user-to-user forum has checked one out with Audition. –Hart
I am looking for a simple hands free way to record my presentations. A lavalier with a flash drive would be perfect – do you know if this technology exists?I’ve never seen something like that, but that’s far enough from my area of expertise that it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist! I do know the flash recorders I’ve seen can take a wired input from a lav mic, though. –Hart
