I imagine it must be frustrating when you've ordered a product as a dealer and the manufacture isn't able to tell you when the product is shipping out. When I call M-Audio, they stated that couldn't tell me the status of the shippments of the Micro Tracker, but that they are supposed to ship out today on one of the dealers, and depending on how there shipping (Ground) possibly in 5 days that dealer might get it. So, it appears so far, no one has these in their inventory. I think this week is out as far as anyone getthing them.

i'd like to state for the record that i suspect my microtracker will arrive the day after i fly to austin for ACLfest.  unfortunate, but i suppose that's life on the bleeding edge.

that unobtanium joke was awesome, btw.

If you're brave, have it sent to your hotel! 

heh, if frank's coming down to the fest, i'll see about him hand-delivering it to me....

This whole thing is starting to piss me off.  I've been told they were to ship to vendors Wednesday.  Now if that is true, why wouldn't M-audio ship them to their vendors OVERNIGHT, since they are already weeks late?
If they ship them out ground it will take another freakin' week for the vendors to get them, and we get them what, a week after that?

Now I guess I am feeling the pain most of you felt while waiting for the SD722's.
And why can't M-audio give someone a firm definitive answer?  That is BS.....

no, you're not.  You've got a mild sensation.  This thing is what, 6 weeks late? 

Pain is felt by dropping a downpayment (because its "about ready"), then waiting for an entire year.

and just wait...hopefully it works perfectly or you get into stage II of testing...

Unfortunately this is the nature of new electronic products. They always seem to be late. Some might remember when the original Apogee MiniMe was supposed to ship in March, then April, then for sure in May. Well we finally received them sometime around labor day and then guess what the REV A's all sucked and ended up getting replaced.

Same exact thing happened back in 95 with the original shipment of DA-P1's, those suckers were delayed for months and months.

Because in the overall grand scheme of things we're talking about a couple of days.  The anger or pain you are suffering will be completely forgotten once the unit actually hits your hands.  Remember that most/all of us currently have recorders so hopefully its not like you are screwed on a show this week or next week.  If you did get rid of all of your recorders then is that M-Audio's fault? 

Hang in there!  We are all waiting and at least we are talking about days unlike the months our 722/744 friends had to wair!

[John Kelly]

Now if that is true, why wouldn't M-audio ship them to their vendors OVERNIGHT, since they are already weeks late?

Because M-Audio never guaranteed a ship date (because to do so would be idiotic) and tripling the cost of shipping doesn't make any sense to shave off a few days.  Relax a little.

I plan to use the Microtrack: Mics -> XLR -> 1/4 -> MT (For stealth taping which I will do often) and probably toss in a pre for when I don't have to stealth.

I'm giddy with glee for the affordability of this piece of fine equipment.

Actually, this statement is false. Check this same forum of TS. Sound Pros got a small portion of their order yesterday.

A year?  Jesus.....now that does suck, didn't realize it was that long.  So now maybe I'm not too pissed.
