EDIROL FOLLOWUP: In response to my post the other day, Dale Wetzel emails:

Have you ever used an external microphone with the Edirol? If so, what type, and why did you choose it?

Have you ever used an external microphone with the Olympus besides the stereo mic that you bought with it?

I’m interested in knowing if you’ve ever tried a handheld mic (omni or unidirectional) with either recorder, and if so, what you thought of the results.

I haven’t used external mikes other than the above, but I just ordered this one last week. I’ll report on its performance when it comes.
