Drop Outs in Right Channel...722 issue?

[ianstone]

you're welcome to use mine... although i gotta clear off the HD

hehehe

i think i'll be fine tonight, plus I'd rather get more than the 20minutes of run time at 16/44.1  you have left on that HD  

you should tape from VIP tonigh bro- the spot where Mike was setup didn't look too bad, although I don't know whatd you do without me to babysit your gear all night again 

yeah i know, thats why i'm thinking i'm not going to tape

that waitress fucked me up when she brought me two drinks at the same time... and i kept having to get air during set 2. so fuckin hot in there.
do you wanna go in on the table with us, then you can go up there too and tape from up there? might be a nice change of vantage point.
let me know ASAP its only 25 bones, and you get to drink that at the bar

here are 3 screen shots of the spikes/dropouts

one overview of all the problems, a medium view, and a zoomed in view of the most heavily affected area

here's a very low quality mp3 sample of two of the worst sections

i haven't done a full listen or looked at the waveform but i was watching my meters all night and never noticed. Thank God it didn't happen on Tues - any other night at least there were other tapers. I did get an instance or 2 of fucking cell phone intereference though on that Tues night stealth pull. oh well

yah i saw that on etree. doh'.

oh well. hopefully your wed night version is good, i got my thurs/fri up now

here are some shots and a sample from the 1st time i had the problem. it was actually the left channel this time, as opposed to the right one i was having problems with most recently. there are a couple where teh channel doesn't actually drop out on the waveform but it sounds as if it pretty much does completely.

this was STS9 at Wakarusa mod460/ck61 > v2 > 722 using different cables

heres a much cleaner sample of the right channel dropouts from moe. the other night

FWIW.. At 24/48 the 722 writes to the disc about once every 6 seconds.  *IF* the disc activity was contributing to the noise on the recordings (via rf) you might expect to see it at that interval.

if that were the case, would you notice the levels drop out on the level meter on the face of the 722? because we certainly saw it happen during moe.

also, if it were a case of the disc activity as you presume - would it have the same effect when writing to a CF card, or would that "backup" be essentially perfect while the one on the hard disk would be messed up? Just curious - mikey didnt' have  a card in there but i'm curious about it. I've thought about purchasing a card just to run as a backup.

[trajhip2000]

I doubt this is your problem, but I was having trouble with random spikes/pops on my 744T recordings a while back - turned out the FW card on my PC wasn't fully seated and I was getting the glitches when I transferred the files. So if you haven't checked that you might want to.

what was the LCD issue? every once in a while when i power up or down I get some crazy pixilation going on, mainly when its powering up with the Sound Devices logo

I get trash on the startup screen sometimes too.  Has always gone away though once powered up.

i spoke with SD about this as well. they said it just happens and theres really nothing that can be done about it    i pay 2400 for a device that can't even display a simple logo at boot-up...


the problem is not the FW transfer, but thanks for the feedback. this clearly happens while recording as both times it has occured i have watched the meters peak and then dropout, they now want me to run more tests before sending it in to them, i don't think the guy im dealing with has very much experience with this device, he kept telling me that he'd check with someone to see if they knew. when he sent me my email with shipping info he didn't even list the right recorder, 702
