Topic: Tascam DR-60D - 4 Channel recorder

[StarkRavingCalm]

Anyone know what this noise is?

I ran 4channels on this night, 1/2 from mics and 3/4 from SBD. The file attached is from the SBD feed but the diginoise is on all sources.

Could it be a write-error on the card?
Or could it be an error with the DR-60D itself.

I haven't listened to the entire recording yet to see if it happens while they are playing.

are you sure it wasn't something broadcast through the pa?
Was it in the rest of the recording too or just that spot
Sounded different then noise I have heard in the past

Here is my first recording with DR-60D.

Listened to both, but the Otis Grove recording is a hit so far as I'm concerned.

I found another source and it is on theirs also.
Much relief.

Just picked up a second DR-60D and another stand to make it easier to cover two stages at a festival. Now I need more big boy mics. I feel like such a slut.

Has anyone ran this unit mics> xlr > 1/4" with phantom on? Doesnt work on mine isnt it able to provide 48v to the XLR and 1/4"?  Rig works fine on my 680 1/4" jacks?

if you are running TRS 1/4" then it should work, as noted it does work on the 680. I haven't tried it though.
Do you have the proper TRS 1/4 to XLR cables or are you using an adapter in there?

[obaaron]

Same cable female xlr>1/4" TRS.   Cabel works fine into the 680 1/4" jacks with phantom on.  I tested the xlr ins on the 60d and the phantom works just not with the TRS inputs?

Can anyone confirm they have suxcessfully used the 1/4" inputs with 48v phantom on? 

Edit:  i looked in the Features section in the manual and sure enough it makes no mention of the 1/4" jacks providing 48v as it does say for the XLR's....

I know the Anker 10000mAh pack is popular and I ordered one to go along with my 60D that's arriving today.  It won't be arriving in time for a show tomorrow night, and was wondering what results I can expect from this one I already have?

4000mAh rechargeable power capacity
Special high out battery that allows for fast charging
Capable of switching between 500mAh, 1A, and 2.1A charge
Ability to charge virtually any USB device in the world.

Not to up on what the mAh will translate to actual consumption from the 60D.... any idea?   I also have a set of 1400mAh energizer nimh rechargeables.    Just trying to see if I'd be safe with this battery pack & the rechargeables installed for 4channel, 24/48 for about 2h15m.  Assuming that should be more than enough, but any insight would be great.

Thanks for any advice.

^^  The first time I ran my 60D it was under similar circumstances to you but not quite exact: was using a fully charged 3000 mAh external battery and had a set of newly charged Eneloop batteries (~1800-2000 mAh, I believe) in the deck.  Running two channels with 48v phantom on at 24/48, the deck was powered up and recording for over 3 hours straight.  By the end of that time the external battery was done, the deck automatically switched over to internal batteries and the meter was at two bars out of four.  I wouldn't call that a definitive test, but I'm guessing you should be OK, dank.

thanks. will report my results from Eric Johnson tomorrow night.

You def want to use 1a
I recorded over 6hrs of four channel, two 48v with my 10,000 and still had juice
Based on the formula I should get 9hrs approx for your 4000, you should get 3.7hrs so I would say 3
Have aa installed for backup
