M Audio Flash Tracker Recorder Update
« on: May 23, 2005, 04:56:44 PM »
just spoke to M-Audio and here is the latest:

- First 1000 Shipping at the end of June for delivery in early July

- MAP Price (street) will be $399

- It will accomodate any size CF Card so 2 GB file size should not be an issue

We are at the top of their list for first orders and I expect to get a significant amount of these as soon as they ship which should fill the current wait list and more.  I do not think this will be like Sound Devices where we get a few at a time.

that's the major drawback at this point but prices are dropping... recording 24/48 until prices fall is a possible way to save money

I know somewhere is a chart with 24 bit audio and the amount of GB's needed at given sample rates for a given period of time but I can't seem to find it, anyone know where that is?

24/48 = approx 1 GB per hour

you can score 2GB microdrives for around $100-$125...and they keep falling in price...just need to know where to look, really not too bad when you look at how much 2GB of say flash media would cost

From the archive, by Bri...

Want to know what size your 16-bit or 24-bit files will be on hard drive at different sample rates?  Here you go...

Bit-Depth      Sample Rate (in kHz)       MB Per Track-Minute
16                  44.1                                 5
16                  48                                    5.5
24                  44.1                                 7.6
24                  48                                    8.25
24                  96                                    16.5
24                  192                                  33

A typical CD-R can hold just over 21 track minutes of 24/96 audio...


i may have to buy one of these suckers and a few 2 or 4 GB flash drives...

took me a couple minutes of searching, but it was right at the bottom of the page in there.

yeah, that is what I am talking about.  not terribly cost effective right now, but maybe in a year that card will be 200 bucks?

things have changed so much with computers since I bought my first one (486 66mhz with 16 megs of ran and a 2x CD-ROM) 11.5 years ago... and memory of all types is just getting cheaper and cheaper.

If you consider taping at 16/48 (as a DAT replacement) then this thing is a bargain.

I have a 512 MB Sandisk card for my camera so the fact that these are interchangeable is sweet. But I would need to go to at least 4GB card to even think about doing 24/48 (what I do now)

I want to leave my laptop at home so bad I hope these things test out OK
