Sound Devices all in one box
« on: April 09, 2003, 07:40:58 PM »
I'm surprised news of this hasn't been posted here yet or maybe I missed it.  Depending what the price is for the 2 channel unit it looks like a great all in one box!!  Anyone have any info on this thing??  Are flash cards needed?  Anyone herad of a price for the 2 channel version?  I grabbed these links from the other board. Curious but feel better asking here rather than over there ;)

this thing looked very cool, more interested just in the HD recording capabilites, but for people that love the mp-2 and other SD products this thing could be killer

Yea.....I actually liked the sound of my mp2 but wanted better a/d conversion than that of my d-7 which is why I got the ad-1000.

Someone on the oade board said that it will be about $2300 (?) for the 4 channel version shown.  If the 2 channel version is $1500 or less I'd be temped!! :o

The HD is also crucial...I guess (from what I've read) flash cards are pretty expebsive.

i am VERY intersted in the HD technology that will be coming out in the nest few years, but there is no way i will be buying a first generation unit.  hopefully, sound devices will come out with this product and the "big" name manufacturer's will follow.

I'm definately looking forward to this one.  I love my mp-2 sound and I'm excited about a reliable HD recording solution- wonder how the A/D sounds? (don't want to get rid of my apogee quite yet)

Sign me up!... 2 problems I see

1) Doesn't look like they've addressed the .wav file length limit with their own format (like the foretold zaxcom units).  I can live with that.

2) how am I going to come up with $2k by the end of the summer ??? !!!

</drool> (for now)

I'm no expert, but I've been told the .wav file limit is unique to windows and that it is irrelevant to HD recording. Can anyone out there enlighten us?

say it is only relative to windoze... what if I want to transfer a show larger than 2:59- what then?  I wonder if I can do track splits in the SD box?

Good question. When I get home, I'm going to create a >2GB and play around. I know SF Vegas Video handles 2GB+ files when recording by converting to a proprietary file format. I'll see if it can handle a .wav file that is 2GB+. I'll post here if I find anything out...

Wavelab handles them too...by splitting the file into 2 when you approach the 2gb limit.  IMHO, the limit thing is stupid, and is just another reason why monopolized software is a bad idea!

1 hour at 24/48: 1 gig
1 hour at 24/96: 2 gigs

So an average 24/48 show is 2-3 gigs, 24/96 4-6 gigs.

I recorded a >2gig .wav file with cooledit.  Not sure how, as it's supposed to blow up :)  Most windows programs stripe the files as they are recording or in post-processing to get around the limitation.

So macs don't have a 2 gig limit?  We're buying my wife an iBook, I will go on record and say I don't know DIDDLY 'bout macs :)

As I posted on the other thread, I think this HD device is a killer deal.

this could be wrong but i was under the impression that the 2 gig limit was an older windows limitation that is not an issue in recent versions of windows.  However, some software distributors have not modified their code and their specific programs (eg wavelab) are not able to handle files over 2 gigs.  i' not sure which programs can handle 2 gigs, but some of them can.  the wavelab issue is a major pain in the ass.  if your temp file hits 2 gigs while resampling for example the process stops and you have to cut up the file.  what a load of shit.
