I know you like, tape for people's approval and stuff, and wave your tapes around like they're your dick...  but even you can't actually think section tapes from philips sound good.

what is it w/you guys and multi-tracking?
the 744 has rotted your brain.

two chan is where its at folks.

Exactly, 4 channels for me = bad tape.  I have enough trouble getting a complete tape with 2 channels.  I'd have to quit drinking to run 4 channels, and I'm not ready to give that up yet.

Hi Jerry,

As you are taking suggestions, I would love to see the ability to mount an external USB HDD onto
the MR-1000. This could serve several functions:

1) Direct backup from MR-1000 HDD to external USB HDD w/o a computer.

2) Direct record from MR-1000 to external USB HDD in situations where you need
extra recording time beyond the internal 40gb hdd limit.

3) Direct playback of DSD files from the external USB HDD on the MR-1000.

I see #3 as the most important feature. With no other 'affordable' way to play DSD files
natively except on the unit itself and the fact that these DSD files are so large,
this would be a simple and effective way to play all of your DSD recordings off one huge external HDD
connected directly to the MR-1000.

So I have my deck, ordered from Sweetwater. This thing is VERY nice, I am very impressed with it. Now all I need is a few shows to get it broken in with. Of course I am so excited & there isn't anything worth recording for a month at least  >:(

I also ordered a set of 2600 mah AA's with a charger, I already have the Battery Geek 10-14-88 for long festivals. As long as the AA's get me through a normal show I am happy as can be. When I get them I will do some testing to be sure but I am sure they will be fine.

Congrats on your mr-1000 purchase, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine!

Which charger and batteries did you order? I'm looking for an 8 bay AA charger and batteries for my mr1000.
For the charger, on the cheap I'm looking at the Rayovac universal charger. It's a 'slow' charger,
nothing special. On the high-end, I'm considering a Maha MH-C801D or MH-C808M.
On the batteries I was thinking powerex 2700mah's.

Thanks,
Mandoman

I bought a PowerEx MH-C801D that I'm pretty satisfied with.
Does conditioning, slow and fast charging for one to eight AA batteries.
Its not a LaCrosse but suits me well enuff.

Thanks. That one is at the top of my list. $70 though so I still might go cheap...

The 4 cell lacross is sweet and would have been my first choice if I didn't want an
8-cell since the mr-1000 takes 8 AA's. Since I won't be running the mr-1000 on batteries too often,
I decided to go cheap and went with Carl's recommendation instead of the Maha (>2x price diff). Ordered, should
get it this week.

Thanks for the recommendations!

I am pleased with the quality of everything I received, I don't know the long term but I did two reconditioning cycles & tested them for 4 hours with the backlight & phantom on.

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
