Topic: M Audio Flash Tracker Recorder Update

[John Kelly]

Sweet, as I am ready to be a test pig   #4 on the informal waiting list 

This thread has made me even more excited.  I'm #3 on the formal waiting list.

Looking at the picture of this thing the connectors showing look like outputs any idea if it has digital inputs too?

[The Kilted Taper]

I believe, in the only picture I've ever seen, you are actually looking at the digi in, USB, and I think RCA outs, but they may be ins.

[John Kelly]

If I had to guess I'd say those are the rca inputs, the spdif input, and the usb output.  The audio outputs are probably at the top of the machine.

In the orignial thread and the story on line it states the RCAs as outs.

In the orignial thread and the story on line it states the RCAs as outs.

so how does it provide phantom power?  if you look carefully on the sign on the table in the picture, second line, it says "48v phantom power"

maybe there are 1/4" inputs on the other side because i don't think you can send phantom power down an rca line.  or can you?  i'm not really sure.

[The Kilted Taper]

IT'll be 1/4" ins that supply the power, and I can only assume it's on the other side. Of course all this is hearsay and I am just going of the specs that have been listed:

#  2x TRS mic/line jack inputs
# 48V phantom power
# 3.5mm jack mic in with 5V power for electrec and back condenser mic
# SPDIF input
# 3.5mm headphone out
# RCA stereo out
# USB 2.0

oh cool!  i didn't know they released any specs yet. thanks for the clarification. +

[John Kelly]

And another one from me.  Good stuff!

This isn't an official spec list. Just what I've pulled from the few blog type articles that are on the web and the original thread regarding this unit.

correction.....the deck *some of you* have been waiting for  

[Nick's Picks]

ok.
the deck some of us have been waiting for.

Honestly, after all they wait and hype of hdd recording, i'm currently not all that impressed.  Though the R4 has not died on my yet, it sounds like it might some day based on all the other people's problems.
Which gets me to my point.
Flash recording is probably the best medium.  It just sucks that its small.  24/48 will suffice.  shit, 16/44 will suffice.
