i won't be dropping the v3, that's for sure.  this unit will replace the dat.  80gig!!  i thought the prelim specs were 40gig.  cool

i can't wait until these things come out... running skm140 > 722 as a stealth rig is going to kick ass.

[Nick's Picks]

my plan exactly.
I cant decide if I'm going to ditch the V3 to fund the SD or not though.
we'll see.

god, its fun

[Simp-Dawg]

personally i'm very pleased with sound devices pre/a-d in the usbpre i have and i can only imagine this will be at least as good and probably better, plus with built in hd recorder it is mighty tasty!

>>running skm140 > 722 as a stealth rig is going to kick ass.<<

i'll repeat: apparently the units will be 2x as thick as the original pictures.  not exactly ideal to stealth when something is close to 3 inches thick

[Ed.]

ack, the three inch thing doesn't sound like fun, however i think theres going to be lots of competition between this and the pdAudio device.  Granted, size doesn't matter for most of you, but for the stealthers, its hard to stealth all your gadgets and widgets, so sometimes we have to cut back on what we take with this.  The pdaudio device will still require preamps and adc's, plus you'll have to carry 40 compact flash cards with you.

those 3 inches might be worth it, i dunno, i'm gonna buy myself some mics first and worry about this when the prices drop.  but hey, way cool advancements are on the horizon.

Going with the thread hijack... has anyone gotten this thing to work yet?  The coresound hack, I mean

[Ed.]

i think its all just a matter of time, PDAs are going to continuosly get cheaper, along with compact flash.  Both are quite expensive still at the moment, but they keep dropping and new bonuses keep coming with them.

i personally think the sd722 looks like more fun to play with than the core sound thing.  Plus, i can press record and leave it be, if its boasting an 80gig hdd, i'm pretty sure you won't have to look at it once the levels are set giving you all the time in the world to do other things....

apparently the boxes are going to be 2x as thick as the mp2/usbpre now

so I'd have to get another operation to be able to stealth this thing?

Just dip your junk in some icewater before securing it... like a frightened turtle...

[zhianosatch]

that's what i thought the three inch comment was about...

[cpclark]

i might get this before the summer and run v2 -> sd722, i think a lot of tapers will still use outboard pre's and if the a/d is good, and i bet it will be, thats what a lot of people will do, or a lot of cheaper used gear will be on the market for newbs and upgrade junkies

I am only seeing internal storage of 40g on a 2.5 inch hard drive, not an 80g hd.

the latest specs from SD say 80

[wboswell]

I gotcha.  I was just reading off the site (http://www.sounddevices.com/products/7.htm) and didn't see the 80g.  I watched the slide presentation and saw the new specs.  Thanks
