And now(ish) there's this from Zoom:

I wonder if that output jack will be enabled in the U.S. or will it be disabled similar to other non-Zaxcom products?

My question is does Premiere Pro support 32bit float?

Read carefully. My answer would be "sort of". https://www.sounddevices.com/32-bit-float-applications/

Disabled. I hate that patent.

Talked to one of my audio dealers last week about building a splitter cable to split my lavs into my Lectro belt packs and the Tentacle Track E’s simultaneously. I’ll probably talk to him again next week since he’s off this week for Thanksgiving. He didn’t say it was impossible, but will mainly depend on what the Tentacle is expecting to see signal wise.

Oh yea! Now that is thinking on the outer side of the box. You just made my day. That approach could apply to a few other devices out there. Here is some reading - https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-a...lit-mic-signal

Just picked up my E recorder last night from BH. Initial impressions: Compact, robust little unit. Operation is simple and straightforward. App is very good and functional. Good sound quality with my Oscar lav, but the included mic has a decent amount of self noise (not unexpected I guess). The micro SD door design is a little wanky. The rubber sled that holds the sd card is rubbery, so it makes it a little awkward to insert/eject the card. No controls except record/stop and on/off can be accessed on the unit, so if you want to change the gain/bit depth, etc you need the app.. All in all looks like a winner. Feels good to by from a boutique company like Tentacle. Sort of like buying from Etsy instead of KMart ;)
