Doh!!!!!

Got mine yesterday and ran it last night with a pair of Nevaton MK49.

Sample here:  http://www.yousendit.com/download/UVJqYUlsSWg0b0EwTVE9PQ

Recorded to 5.6mhz DFF.  Downsampled to 24/44.1 with Audiogate and then dithered with UV22HR in Wavelab.

Sounds pretty decent to me...

Yep, I ran a comp last night as well that Nick will be posting sometime today hopefully. Glad to hear you like yours, I am enjoying mine.

4 tracks.  one nice CD to burn and listen to.
all of it sounds freakin' great.

OK, here is the thread for the comp we just did, I was very surprised with the outcome personally.

Just posted my thoughts on the comp we did, overall I am very impressed with the MR-1000.

Hi Guys,

A couple of quick questions.

1) Does the time/date on your mr-1000 reset/stop when you remove the batteries
or power? I would think korg would have included a small battery on the board
to maintain the time/date? Mine resets. Any idea what the current drain is to maintain the clock?
I hate leaving batteries in the unit in case of leakage but it's a pain setting the clock
every time I use the unit...

2) I've got a gig coming up and am recording on stage. I want to avoid HDD issues.
Any recommendations how to absorb the shock of high SPLs? I was thinking of
just sitting it on a folded up towel or something?

Thanks!

yes, unfortunely the clock resets when you leave the unit out of power.

bad korg, bad!

Is this going to be the all-in-one box that folks are going to be ditching their V3's > MT or iRivers for?
A great sounding all-in-one is certainly appealing.
I thought I was going to regret selling my ACM PMD671. But I haven't looked back once, and regreted it.

I haven't listened to any V3 or ACM671 comparisons yet. Can someone give me a heads up on where to start?

So the folded up towel worked ok for recording onstage for the mr1000.
Chris (csheperd) has recommended trying some vibrapods: http://www.vibrapod.com/
Has anyone else tried these? Other recommendations welcome.

Thanks!

I use them on my Oppo DVD player.
IMO, build yourself a giant custom "shock mount" out of bungee or elastics.
be creative!

Nick, why do you use Vibrapods on your Oppo?

 

[Nick's Picks]

because I have them...and the dont hold up the TV ?

Thanks for the tip. What I'd really like is a new custom case that doubles to hold
the unit and provide shock absorption while allowing cables/power to be routed.
The stock korg case does not allow the power cable to be routed to the unit and
I don't think is sufficient for shock absorption.
