I was hoping to get word today from Frank saying these things will be here "____Inset Day___", still interested. But no luck! Wishfull thinking!

I didn't see it on page 1, and didn't check the other (seemingly) 10 bazillion pages... I'm checking my email constantly hoping to see a "your order has been shipped" message and a tracking number, I'm getting very antsy!

I called DJMart earlier today.  The guy told me they'd be receiving their shipment of Microtracks next week, but didn't give me an exact date when my order would be shipped out.  I hope it ships out a day or two earlier than the 15th, otherwise I'll be out of town when my package arrives.  Might have to upgrade the shipping to FedEx next-day if it's cutting too close.

Just talked to Frank @ Cascademedia. He said M-Audio would have them on Friday the 9th. And send them out to them early next week. We are getting closer I think.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I just hope it's ready to go out of the box.  I'd gladly wait another month to make sure all the glitches were gone.  Lets hope that's what they did already.

Word today is that they will "land at M/Audio in CA on Friday the 9th".   We will get them sometime early next week and proceed to ship.    Look for an email from me to those who have ordered once I get official word that they are on their way to us.

We still have units available in our initial shipment also. 

thanks

Thanks Frank!

Same here...  I'll know soon enough how the Microtrack performs if I can get mine by next Friday.  I have tickets for Oasis on the 18th (right in the sweet spot for taping) and GA floor for U2 in Chicago the 20th and 21st.

DJMart is not too far from M-Audio in the LA area, so I'm hoping it'll be a quick turnaround once M-Audio ships it out to retailers early next week.

Might be time to start thinking of some early tests to run. Of course, an anlysis of it's recording capabailities are a given, but it'd also be sweet if someone was willing to risk part or all of a show to use the MT more "out-of-the-box" with no pre-amp, no bbox, no a/d, no nothing but mics plugged in via balanced/phantom and/or mic directly into 5v mic in jack, as well as various combinations of with/without pre, with/without a/d, etc., to get a feel for how good/bad some of the built-in hardware is. Thoughts?

Sounds good.
- Verification of the factory specs (on the M-Audio site)
- Other interesting, imporant qualities (e.g. performance beyond 20 Khz?)

Who has teh gear to do these tests _and_ access to a MT unit soon?

[Nick's Picks]

i'd beware of the microdrives in these.
- probably poor for 24bit
- probably overheat easily
- probably suck the shit out of the battery

[neutrino]

That a lot of assumptions Nick...
   Let see if we can get the thing to power on first.
