Topic: M Audio Flash Tracker Recorder Update

[Ray76]

this is exciting.
the deck we've all waited for.  if only flash was 10gb and $100.
i'm 30 on the list.
late comer.

im 23, so i figure i will have one by 2008.
plan to use 722 for open and maudio for situations where it is absolutely crowded and need every inch. Ray

i'll admit.....24/44.1 is enough for me.  it's all about those extra bits though as 16bits is not enough for me anymore.  I think the difference between a 16 bit and a 24 bit recording can be quite staggering.  i guess you can call me a 24bit snob

If you're on the list at cascade, Frank said in this thread that the first shipment will more than cover that list.  Fret not!

just spoke to M-Audio and here is the latest:

- First 1000 Shipping at the end of June for delivery in early July

- MAP Price (street) will be $399

- It will accomodate any size CF Card so 2 GB file size should not be an issue

We are at the top of their list for first orders and I expect to get a significant amount of these as soon as they ship which should fill the current wait list and more.  I do not think this will be like Sound Devices where we get a few at a time.

I read something over on the Oade board:

           In my conversation with our M-Audio Rep, he said this piece may not be produced and if it is not likely to ship this summer. He says they sometimes do this to 'test the water'...Doug

Is this true ? Frank ? Anyone ? Totally bummed if it is ...

[udovdh]

If the 'test' thing is true, maybe start convincing them we need this device? 
Where can we send our faxes, emails and calls?

[The Kilted Taper]

I will be so bummed if that is true.

Yikes.  Lotta people will be pissed if that is true.  I think I'd even become one of those people who carries a heavy grudge against a vendor.  While these are "rumors", they have had every opportunity to clarify if this is just vaporware and if people have the wrong idea.

If they really are shipping these at the end of the month, it seems that the advance marketing is lagging. Nothing on the website, no press releases for confirmation, etc.. Though I can't say that I am familiar with their past product intro practices.

At this point, I'd like to see a *named* person at M-Audio confirm that these are going to ship this month, etc.

Maybe Doug's a little peeved that everyone's ordering from Cascade?

[silentmark]

Maybe  , but at least Frank has provided the most information about it.

I just sent mAudio an email, we'll see if I hear anything back from them ...

I just got off the phone with their main office, and they said, verbatim: "Beyond a shadow of a doubt the initial shipments of the tracker will be released during the summer, probably june, but possibly in july or august. Any rumour that this is vaporware to "test the waters" is unfounded. "

I still have a good feeling about it.
