So is Frank

what are they charging?  he told me ~$350 a couple weeks ago.

In Europe it looks to be a lot more expensive. To get it from Thomand in Germany (with added Irish VAT for me at 21% (silly EU rules)) it would cost me 463 euro before shipping costs - that's around US$570. At that price it would be cheaper for me to buy it from the US even if I got stung with customs charges.

Still waiting for that "now shipping" email.

Just got one from the Oades. Shipping to Doug, not to me yet. I think I'll wait and see how this thing shapes up.

Yep, 350 shipped to your door.

Just got this from djmart! ITS ON!

Hi Martin,

Our apologies for any delay in response. The Microtrack 24/96 is going to ship out tomorrow. As soon as your order ship I will send you an email with yout tracking number.

For any further inquiries or questions you may have please feel free to reply to this email.

Edit:

I should have mine Monday afternoon. I got 2 day shipping.

Something is extremely fishy here. This is the e-mail I just received.

Our apologies for any delay in response. I just contact the M-audio to know what is going on with the Microtracks but they has not shipped them out to any dealers yet. So will have them ready to ship until the 26th. As soon as your order ship out I will send you an email with your tracking number.

If this will create any inconvenience for you and changes need to be made to the order, please let me know. For any further inquiries or questions you may have please feel free to reply to this email.

Best Regards,

Natalia Bomio

At first glance maybe they are not on the top of M-Audio's vendor list.  Maybe it was the reps way of not telling them that there are other more preferred dealers.  Just a guess.

That doesn't make any sense.  I just called them a couple hours ago.  Natalia told me they received their shipment and that mine was being shipped out today with the Saturday delivery option I asked for.   I suggest calling them.  Their number is 1-888-356-2781.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just got off of the phone with Danny at DJMart.  He said that they have NOT received any of theirs yet, and are not expecting them until the end of next week. He also said that he had to send a memo to Natalia explaining that to her as well. Sorry guys.

[coloartist]

Unobtanium still.

Ayup!

classic case of left handium not knowing what the right handium is doing?

Can't imagine what Desert Sky is doing now, someone get him in a padded cell!

I'm still rather new to the world of live audio recording (and audio equipment in general) so bear with me here.

Is it a safe assumption (that I made earlier in this thread) that I'd be able to run Mics through XLR>1/4 cable directly into the Microtracker without needing a pre or an a/d converter?  Granted, the results might not be as good as using separate components for each job, but it is possible, correct?  The Microtracker can amp the mic signal and take the analog signal natively?

[Ed.]

correct, but who knows what kind of quality it'll be or if there'll be added noise from the 1/4 phantoms

yes.  at what quality (like you stated) we just don't know yet.
