How Does MicroTrack 24/96 Compare To PDAudio?
Some of our customers have asked us how MicroTrack 24/96 will compare to our PDAudio system. The answers are here!

Answer:  even though the microtracker is as of yet vaporware, it still sucks much less than PDAudio!

You people just need to accept the fact that nothing touches PDAudio.

Just ask all the film and ENG professionals that use it. Microtrack wont come close. Neither does the 722 or Deva line...

You misspelled "nobody".

Good call on that one.

Summary
MicroTrack 24/96 holds great promise for a certain market segment, primarily those who are currently using MD recorders. We expect to sell a bunch of them.
PDAudio, in contrast, provides truly professional performance and unlimited flexibility. We therefore expect that PDAudio will be the choice of most audio professionals and semi-professionals.



what a jackass...completely bashing a product that may or may not work (since no on really knows yet) by comparing it against a product that has more issues than a guy at a poker table down to his last $20 and staring at an off suit 6 9

that dood is an uber ass clown. I have to this day never seen one complete show pulled with that PD audio piece of shit...and I've watched quite a few attempts at it. Len sucks.

[Ray76]

i think macdaddy uses it dont he??

I hate the fuckers attitude. Thats what kills me. I dont give a shit if he built a preamp that would be 10 times as good as my 148, and half the cost , ill never give that dude one red cent.

he always acts like he cant be bothered.

search PDAudio on bt.etree.org.  I've been pulling complete shows for about 5 months at 24/96.  The only incomplete recordings were user error.  I should also say I've had the PDAudio since its first release >2 yrs ago, and I've finally got it working.

I know it is off topic but while everyone is bashing......


I can't even count how many times over the years that a patcher would show up at my rig with a D7 and one of those crappy Coresounds made digital cable/splitters. Seems like I was never get them to send a clean feed, those small little prongs were always getting bent or broken off. I have heard that many a digital input on a sony Dat was zapped with one of those Coresound digi cables. The official word always was that it was not the Coresound Cable that caused the problem.
I never could figure out why anyone would waste there money on one of those pieces of junk.

crappy Coresounds made digital cable/

I borrowed one of those in a pinch one night.  I ended up having to buy a new one, since I broke all 7 pins trying to cram it into my D8 drunk as hell in the dark at some show.  I offered to buy the guy an oade cable, but he insisted on having that silly unprotected core-suck cable...

Sorry Craig, but your point obviously didn't include ALL of those that don't use external hard drives like your setup. As promised, it doesn't deliver, and Len's has failed to make me, or many others that purchased it happy campers. In summary, check this site and see the "hundreds of satisfied users" that Len references-

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PenComputingAudio/

Craig, no offense, but your post here offends me- to suggest that it's only user error is factually not true. Even the software developer admits that he can't pull 24/96 without a media change in the IPAQ H5555 with the HP expansion pack I use. I've tried all the media suggestions, and you know that I've been on that yahoo group since inception, as well. As one of the moderators on that group, I've seen enough to qualify the statment I make here. The fact that you mention "finally" say's it all. I'm still waiting. But then, if you or anyone else is so satisfied using PD-Audio, don't bother posting about it's success here. I believe that most here are looking for a reliable recorder that does something that PD-Audio doesn't do for me- Work ;-)

Len can lick deez. What a fuckin' piece of garbage. How the hell does he stay in business???

[Kyle]

I have to agree - those open 7pin plugs they sell are dangerous. I would not even let one of them near my rig.
As far the the MicroTrack goes - many of us here are gong to replace DAT (or JB3) with it - going digi-in - mic-pre specs etc.. will not matter to many of us - Len really is out of touch if he can't see that - of course, considering the 7pin, I guess that goes without saying

I've done my share of Len bashing. In fact, I was the one who ripped him a new one on DAT-Heads for his "comparison". However, Len did see a market that at the time was not being addressed and he addressed it the best way he could. He has some marketing skills, but like a lot of good marketing people I know, they only know how to push their product by constantly slamming the competition, when the reality is they haven't touched the competition, so they can't address it properly.

I say, everybody here should let sleeping dogs lie and leave the Len slamming alone. He is a marketing guy, and we should just leave it at that.
