Response to Recording Location Sound (mini disc or DAT ???)

from chris r (chris@rocketfactory.com)
I wouldnt be caught dead recording location sound on minidisc. Now granted, i own some MD gear for live shows and my car and stuff like that.. but if you're bothering to record location audio outside your camera... dont use a compressed format. check out http://minidisc.org for a plethora of knowledge about the MD spec and how it fits music on that tiny disk. compression = loss and i'm not about that for something important. I personally use a preamp on set with digital outs (dbx 386), so i can feed my dat clean stuff.. then use an analog out on your pre/dat to feed the camera for reference. I find a lot of cameras introduce a high frequency whine on the DV audio tracks.. Bad News.
