the question is... are than any tools to edit/track in flac format?
you should be able to track in cdwav, correct?
the real question is, would i really record straight to flac format? honestly, the 7xx's have never let me down and i probably will after bugs get worked out.
true, you can track flac's in cdwave for windoze. my biggest thing since I have plenty of INHDD/CF Card space is:
is encoding to flac while recording going to save any time on the transfer/decode end
If I can just record in WAV and transfer/open in WL 5.0 quicker than recording to FLAC, then decoding, then opening in WL 5.0, then I'm just going to continue to record to WAV files......But for festies I can actually have 16 hrs of space@24/48 on my 8GB CF Card, which alone, is a beautiful thing all by itself
Just really goes to show that SD is ON TOP of their game. they are quick to release firmware that fixes any bugs from the previous versions, and they do it QUICKLY especially if the bug is somewhat bad. once they realized that the 2.07 Firmware(I think) had a BAD bug, they had a new firmware up a couple days later. thats dedication to a product IMO. Which any GREAT company should do on a $2,500+ piece of equipment. And not only are they fixing bugs, but they are truely enhancing a product that I never thought could be enhanced more than it already was/is....It really does leave the door open for anything from SD now IMO. the possibilities are ENDLESS
What a way to listen to and study their customers. I'm sure this isnt really bgeared toward the film market would it be ? do the film people even use flac? I have no clue.....the flac encoding almost seems like they're throwing the tapers a bone for once, even tho were such a small part of their sales. Never know tho, maybe thats our kickback for reporting the majority of the bugs
PSYCHED to try it out and test it tho. It would be nice if it cajme out this weekend cause I could test it out since I am not doing any sidejobs this weekend.........
Anyway, cheers to Sound Devices and making me justify the $$ I spent on the 722 last year this time even more, it just keeps getting better and better
ACM 671 WHAT? HD-P2 WHAT? microcrapper WHAT? I cannot thi8nk of ANY other recorders that encode to FLAC, especially not a pro deck like the 7x series, anyone else know of any recorders that encode directly to flac? wonder if you can only do it real-time or you can do it after a set is recorded
and this would also make our 2GB splits@24/48 every 4 hrs instead of 2 hrs right? so i wonder if you record at 24/96 if the split is near the 1 hour mark, or if its at the 2 hour mark since its being encoded in flac at prolly a 2:1 ratio
