So I'm out at my first real show last night with the MR-1000 and get an error message about 5 minutes into the first song. "Disk too busy". I restart recording at the beginning of the second song and no problem for the rest of the 2 hour set. It could have been vibrations as I was taping side stage mixing a stage pair and soundboard. I'm hoping it was some fluke which will never happen again but I am very concerned that it happened at all. I never got the HDD Slow message on my R4 taping in this same spot or anywhere else for that matter.
Try again tonight.
Dang, my first issue with the mr-1000. I too got 'Disk too busy'. I restarted the recording and seemed to run ok.
After a song or two I placed a folded up jacket underneath the unit assuming vibrations was the cause.
Listening back, I've got skipping until I placed the jacket underneath. Mostly ok the rest of the show until
near the end when I got more skipping in the recording...
The unit was positioned on stage fairly close to the drummer and a stage monitor, although we
are not that loud a band at all and I've done multi-tracking in a similar position with no such HDD issues...
So I believe the mr-1000 HDD is overly sensitive to vibrations. Dang-nabbit!
So we need better shock absorbing for the HDD... Jerry, are you listening? Someone else reported this
issue as well.
Anyone else have this issue with a solution? Seems like a shock absorbing case is going to be needed here
and/or better gromits inside.
Thanks,
Mandoman
