Digital Audio Recorder Questions

The sync drift is due to the different clocks in the devices. It's expected and normal without genlock. Even two cameras will drift over time, same model and everything. However, it's no big thing to take this stuff in small chunks, it's just a PITA.
Doesn't matter if it's consumer nor pro; if there is not a master clock that everything is slaved to, everything will eventually drift apart. Kinda like life.

Thanks all for your help, the MD was a great tool. Amazing little device, let it record 190 minutes striaght and at LP4 it sounded godo and the battery still showed full charge! The mix of the driect MD audio then using the soudns picked up by the shot guns as ambient background sounds awesome. Next project is to get the footage form the GL2 and a GL1 to blend well, even white balanced ont he same object it seems there is an obvious difference in color casts. We'll see how good Premieir Pro's Color Correction stuff is soon...

Thanks again!
