Topic: Tascam DV-RA1000 DVD Recorder Surprise

[MattH]

Memorex and TDK discs have worked fine so far. And Memorex is not on the list!

Nice to hear other upsampling and DSD recording reviews.

I'm also liking my DSD->analog->HHb 16/44 recordings. Something distinctly different about them..which is nice for regular cd listening away from home.

dsd recording began 3 years or so ago, upsamplings pcm to dsd 6 months ago, and doing both in one consumer priced machine is now it seems.

And from those threads you know that they had this technology even before this!

I guess the Titled Recorder is what sparked the interest.  After I heard SACD and the Sony Receivers I've been telling anyone that would listen!

I'll keep doin' it too...

Hi-Rez for the masses!  Whoo Hoo...


I just hope it keeps going.

these days were so much easier!

go team fisher-price!

god I feel like a dork with this thing. thankfully I have some lead time with it before I need to use it.
The manual leaves room for liberal interpretation on some issues. With that thought,..

Formatting question,...
I inserted a new disc and chose dsd mode, and went thru the intital formatting stage of the pop-up windows. I expected this to take 20 to 30 min..  So, to my surprise, in just a very few minutes the process ends, and it appears that I'm ready to record.
Did I do this correctly, or do I need to manually format thru the menu windows?

oh for the love of god, give me a real knob that I can twist to control gain! drop down menus
I sat there and fidgeted around trying to control the input gain, with no success, and then I realized that I was in bypass mode.
All sorts of new ways for me to screw up a recording, (as if I needed anymore?)

you'll get it...

You obviously broke it.   

That may be my jealousy talking though...

[macdaddy]

I'm trying another burn right now, after a format. I'm going to commit this disc, and likely others, to the fancy-use coaster pile, (for when the guests come over).

man i remember when i had my first cd burner drive - i made more coaster than i could count. the software was beta, the drivers were beta, my 'puter was win95... argh!

best of luck to you - see ya tomorrow (speaking of which - are you running a stand? are you using the big boys or the little guys..? my heb's arrived today, and i would love to try the mini jecklin. i could always run hrtf. but it sounds like having a backup tape might not be that bad of an idea )...

[macdaddy]

supa-stealth mode isn't necessary, but its always good practice.

  

i think i have found my new sig (now that the st0nes have announced, i need a new one)...

thanks for the info - i will see you tomorrow. dont stay up too late figuring out how to use your new toy

edit: as for set times - two two hour sets..?

two sets, and a two hour tape will usually do

[John R]

any word back from jaime or mike regarding the V3.5 DSD mod or the highly coveted V4?

[Brian]

Would the fact that I'm using a Fuji disc be that big of a difference?

looks like it.  I'd stick with the recomended discs personally.  with new gear....i'm all about following the rules until i figure out all of the tricks

[Brian]

best of luck! we expect a full report

[Tim]

good luck Moke!!!!!
