i have some prime mics>722 tapes, but i cant listen to them yet because theyre dvd-a discs
is there a way to copy them to my HD and dither down? i wanna hear these 722 tapes i got

If those are the discs I'm thinking of, they are audio-DVD, not DVDA so you should be able to play them in any DVD player.

coulkd i copy the files to my HD and listen thru my digi out>receiver

if you're in the market for compactflash, i highly recommend hitting the websites listed below on a regular basis and not buying until a good deal comes down the pike.  dell home regularly has pretty ill prices -- just this past week they had 4GB cards for $185.  granted, not the fastest cards available, but it'll do the trick!  two weeks ago I picked up a sandisk 4gb ultra II card -- considerably faster than the ones on sale now -- for $277, which was $100 less than the going rate at amazon.com.

Also techbargains.com - they have TONS of updates every day.

Those 4 gig cards for $185 are still around - the deal doesn't expire until tomorrow.  I may have to pick one up.

Yeah John I hopped on one of the cards yesterday ...

4 gig is probably the smallest we'd want to get, correct? And we haven't heard yet, but any thoughts on if this guy will do anything other than 24/96?

I don't see why it wouldn't...

4G at $185 is kinda nice; it's about 154 euro's!
Compare with the pricing found here. (useful link for Dutchies)
(anyone want to help me get a few of those 4G cards at that price?  )

But doing 24/96 is not always necessary. Personally I'd go for 88.2/24 at most. Resamples nicely.
Even at that setting I'd just get a tad over 2 hours out of one 4GB CF card which is just too short for me.
6G cards would be 'it' for me, but they are still kinda $$$?

Is 88/96 Khz noticable when using not so high end mics? Just costing a few 100?

[Colin Liston]

I will be getting one of these and would like to be able to start using when I get it.

Anyone know what the best card would be for this unit?  Which ones are "faster" than others, and does being faster mean better?


thanks

I'm not sure I've ever seen a 6 gig CF card.  They all seem to go from 4 gigs right to 8 gigs. 

To start I'll probably be recording in 24/48 then jump up to 96 once CF cards come way down in price.

"Faster" only means it'll copy data off the card quicker.  Very important to me for the two festivals I hit a year if i'm only travelling with one 4gb card!  (The read rate of the Sandisk Ultra II series is twice that of the card on sale at dell now.  That's totally worth the bump in price for me.)

That said, i'm sure there's a certain sustained write rate that's vital for successful writes as well, but I don't know what that number would be. 

[pfife]

am I misreading your message, or are you saying that the speed of the card does not mean how quickly data is written to the card, but only how quickly data is read FROM the card?
