Professional-Grade Audio Recording With A PDA

matt-fu writes "For a long time, live recording has been consigned mostly to the realm of DAT recorders, Minidisc recorders, or laptop computers. On one hand you have subpar sound quality, on the other you have a bulky rig with a big 'steal me' sign attached. Thanks to the folks at Core Sound though, mobile recording is about to take a huge leap forward with their PDAudio project. By using a hardware card that allows recording via S/PDIF onto Compact Flash, you will be able to use your iPaq or Zaurus alongside a decent A/D converter to portably get field recordings at up to 24bit/192kHz. The site includes WinCE screenshots, and there are Linux clients in the works as well."

Miss Cleo: I'm seeing high quality concert bootlegs in the future, along with a good chance of RIAA lawsuits. Be prepared as the death card is also in your future.

Thanks a lot.

Now we can expect a special music piracy tax on PDA's as well.

RIAA endorsement

Shouldn't that "bulky rig" ...

[DogIsMyCoprocessor]

have an "I'm bootlegging this concert" sign attached instead?

This is really cool, but there are good solutions (MiniDisc, etc.) already for audio recording.

No no no, this is completely different! It replaces the fragile, expensive MiniDisc recorder with a... PDA... oh wait...

There are plenty of uses for this besides piracy.

Didn't you get the memo?

"Innocent until proven guilty" is OUT, and "assumption of guilt" is IN, along with his friend: "preemptive defense."
