Topic: Marantz 671 in the field... Part 2

[Since85]

Thanks for the input folks.... +t to all!

The menus on the 671 only seem to go by time (1 hr., 2hrs., etc.) Is there a way to do it by file size?

Also, thanks for the workflow tips. But I use a Mac. Any Mac workflow tips for the same situation out there? 

Thanks!!

That could be an interesting comp.  Here's to hoping you get all the gear together +T

Maybe another time.  Hopefully your new CF card shows up.  New toys are fun!!

i have everything but the card, so it will happen soon.

Are you running stock or mod 460's?  I'm toying with the idea of moving to 24 bit, but not sure what box to get, yet.  I need to listen to more sources.

i have access to 3 pairs of stock 463's. ill run a comp for you if you want to switch mics for a bit.

my Sandisk Ultra II 8GB came in today.  the 671 doesn't like it.  when I format the card, it "executes" 100%, then shows 9%.  Only shows 2:04 in 24/96 mode.  In other words half the card is useless.

I might take you up on that, dre.  How did the recording go last night?  Did you get your CF card in time?

can you try formatting using Windows format instead?  i.e. attach the 671 via USB, go to Windows Explorer, right-click your removable drive (ie the CF card) and do a full format that way?  not sure if this format is the same or different from the 671's internal format, and also not sure if they cf card will even show up in windows explorer if it hasn't been formatted yet so i might be talkin' out my arse!  but just a thought...

That's bad, if the 671 won't reconnize the 8 GB card.
Sandisk is a recommended brand isn't it?

I just tried it this way...no go.  When I right click and the dialog box pops up it says that the capacity on the disc is 7.65 GB, but after format the 671 still reads 4 GB.
