Topic: Tascam DV-RA1000 DVD Recorder Surprise

[cwfen]

Yeah, I think Doug Oade mentioned something in his reviewing of the DV-RA1000 about wanting to run the V2 full throttle into it, or something like that... so if you get the DSD unit, just pretend the V3 is the V2 you used to run!

[dmonterisi]

you mean this thing has Doug actually thinking about abandoning his trusty D-8???  is the sky falling??

[cwfen]

Yeah, Doug seems pretty excited about the whole DSD idea... If it can get the right support from manufacturers, etc., then it may be a great thing for all!

[MattD]

You didn't?!

[nickgregory]

I so did it!

congrats moke, +T...from my favorite retailer?

[JasonSobel]

then handed down the punishment sentence for breaking probation.

care to get more specific here? 

[nickgregory]

nice Moke, and I understand the probation...had she not heard what the 722 was capable of before I bought it she would have divorced me on the spot when it showed up

[macdaddy]

+t for the new toy, m0k3

[MattD]

Moke, you do realize that you're now on the cutting edge of technology, having bypassed all of us PCM recordists.

[Tim]

I so did it!

oh hell yeah

Already been abaondoned for the Audiophile Warm Mod FR-2!!  Which makes me drool by the way.

I was in the shop today and he's workin on finishing the tweaks to the PMD-660 units.... says he'll get 'em as good or better than the UA-5's!!

I still got to get out there and hear that new DCC-2.

[Jammin72]

will it record longer than 50mins in DSD mode, the instuction manual seemed to say no, but first hand experience should clarify?  How sensitive is it to skipping, I'd want to test putting it on a subwoofer while recording to see if it track well, as the bass in some shows could be equivalent. 

peace, chris (a possible DSD recorder purchaser) =)

This came up today.  The Panic recording that Doug just made in Tallahassee was done in the Colisuem on the pull out aluminium style risers with the AC and Mic cables run to the Soundboard.  With folks dancin' and going up and down at will he made it through the whole show with no problems.

BTW if you really want to tick off the sarge you should pick up a BigBen to use as an external clock for the DAV-R1000... rumor has it that it is once again a huge improvement in the playback of the unit.


Matt...

I did a quick paruse over this thread to find out the DVD Duper you were using to make backups of your discs and can't seem to find it quickly... mind refreshing my memory?

Thanks!

[Jammin72]

thanks,.... uhhhmm. I'm thinking tht its best if'n I wait til I do anything else at this point.

It was sort of like getting your butt sandpapered with 50grit sandpaper, and then alcohol swabbed.

Ouch!!

+T to start the Healing.

we need to find out if a PC (or MAC) image of the disc can be burned and used for playback this will facilitate internet sharing of discs (archive.org, etc.)
