G-Tech says this is for back up, not for audio recording, but one reviewer says it works fine for that...anyone else using it for audio?

Works fine for audio, but I guess there's a limit to the account of tracks that you can play simultaneously.

This is for anyone else who might have this question it says on the chart near the technical info that this is good for Video/Audio use.Edit:You're right, I was looking at the regular g-drive...although Im pretty sure the difference is really just the size and price.....

It's a high-speed drive with firewire connections. I use it for video editing, which demands the highest speed drives. I would imagine that it would handle audio recording with 7200rpm speed disk. You can check out the spec.s at the G-Technology site.

I'm in the process of setting up my cameras and according to the manual the system has Audio�F4 in & 1out/ Audio Backup / Audio Streaming. Hope this is helpful.

Works fine for me, I use no sound card. Let me say this though: I use FL Studio, which uses that special audio driver, and it doesn't seem to like it when I do live recording via the FL sound driver. I have to go into my Audio options, disable my audio, and then it will function for recording live sounds (just a pain really, but still works). Other than that, I have no complaints running it through my 20$ logictech speakers.

If you have a memory card with an audio file on it, like a Possibly Awkward or Jay Z song, you can put it in this guy and have it play over the speakers! They work quite well for such little guys. But this camera/clock is designed to record maximum video footage length, and to do so, they removed the 'record video with audio' option. That's all it means, that it records video without audio. I hope this helped! Have a wonderful day!

Hopefully I'm understanding the question correctly, but if you're using an external recorder for your primary audio, it won't matter a bit. This thing is on the output side of that device. If you're putting it between a pre-amp of some sort like a JuicedLink or whatever, then there might be some loss. On the other hand, if you want good audio, the in-camera recorder isn't the place to get it anyway.

I would not recommend this to be used for audio, the microphone quality sound is pretty terrible compared to headset microphones I've used. I would recommend using the WebCam with a different audio input device

Hi. We have tried this or dealt with this before, but if all you are doing is transferring the audio coming into the Mic to the Camera, it seems like this should be fine. Thank you

I've used it to record audio directly from a DJ audio mixer. It worked perfectly and the sound was clear.

The problem is that I'd like to use it when recording video, not just for voice notes. It's been very frustrating - sometimes it records in stereo, but most of the time in mono. I haven't been able to figure out what makes the difference.

I think it's great for recording a lecture, It's a voice recorder after all. I mostly use it for music/voice solo recordings and short story recordings, and it works well.

You know what . . . .? I haven't used my digital voice recorder since I got my Macbook which records my voice and then I can lay a track of music over the voice recording. I use it for my hypnosis client's sessions. So I can't help with your question, sorry.

Hi David, yes it records the audio as well. However I would suggest taking a look at the L2 model or the HD model

Sorry but I only use it to amp up my headphones when movies have too low of a volume level. It works great for what I wanted it to do. I've never hooked up a mic to it.

Yes, audio recording has its own on/off function. But overall, I don't recommend this device.

As far as I am aware the USB works as a data transfer cable to transfer the recorded wave files to your computer and will not function while you are actually recording the audio. IT's simple enough to plug it in and transfer the files when you are done recording if you wanted a backup, but if you wanted to use it as a live mic recording straight to the computer I don't think it will work.
