Topic: Hiss from V3>671**Resolved**

[vince]

Update: I took the CF card that still has the show on it(Kingston 45X 4GB)to work and played it from the card through a Creative Audigy 2 zs and the hiss was there....also transfered to the HD and it was the same(not sure that would have made a difference).
I listened to it through Sony 7506 headphones, I guess it would not be as prominent through shitty HPs.

I am going to go back over the set up of the 671...all the cables are brand new (I know, I know). I am going to record the same band tomorrow(Mary Ann Redmond Band), along with the Nighthawks at the State Theater, maybe I will try another card.

Another CF card or Soundcard?  Make sure if you're doing a transfer to your soundcard that you have the propper input settings, if you were inoutting 24 bit but the input setting was at 16, you'd have the hiss problem.  I'm not familiar w/ the Creative cards, but I know I have to manually change my cards settings.  I use Soundforge to capture my audio, it also has to be told which bit rate.  Just to be safe you might want to record in 16 bit until you get the 24 bit resolved, it's most likely a simple fix, and USB transfers will be hella fast (much less memory space as well). 

Sent you a PM too...

real time transfer through digital cable solves the issue until I get the update from Marantz.

Maybe, maybe not.  I think Vince recorded w/.wav not .bwf, were you using .bwf?

.bwf might work, as far as I know they didn't mess around with that standard format, by the time I was going to try it, I had nothing to record, never did a test.

nope. record to wav. :shrugs:

Perhaps the newer units shipped with the old standard, not the ass-backwards microsoft one.

I saw a post from someone that had the update done, they had an additional .wav extension available, I'm not sure how it varried.  It sounds like they just added the standard file format and didn't remove the other.  On the newer units they may have scrapped that microsoft format all-together.
