Does anyone know these portable HDD recorders? Apparently these are used in conflict zones like Afghanistan, Irak, Somalia, etc. (... someone told me ...) but I wouldn't bet to much on it. They are in fact nice sounding, highly professional and quite expensive.
I have one of those for repairing on my desk, so here it goes:

Hello!

I've been asked by a non-professional choir to record them...
As i don't wan't to drag my whole studio there, i was thinking of using a simple 2 mics set up (probably M/S) and recording them on my NagraT...

It would allow me to only take an analog mixer, my pair of tannoy, my NagraT, 2 mics (2 U67?), a few cables and stands.

What do you think of that?

This is something I am looking for currently. A multitrack recorder with digital I/O and a sequencer to do production with. It needs to be able to record and replay via a multitrack digital interface such as USB or FireWire or eSATA. It also needs to have some type of control signal system, anything but 7-bit MIDI CC, for recording automation in a host program.

Hi!
My interest is in making Binaural feild recordings. I have had great success using in-ear mirophones and an old min-disc recorder.

I don't run a MAC, but a fellow musician does. I'd like to help him get a free sound recorder up and running so he can capture audio on his MAC PC. Can anyone suggest a free program that would work best for him (OS X). I thought Audacity might make the list.

I'm a Windows user running CDex and I'm delighted. I'd like him to have a similar MAC-based app.

The newest Beta release of Audiofile Engineering's 'Wave Editor' (1.4.6b2 Nov 05 2009) now supports 'cue markers' from Sound Devices 7x series recorders (well at least my 702)

For those of us that lament not being able to use the cue markers either on the unit itself, or in our Mac software, feel troubled no more.

OK, so I bought 2 Yamaha digital consoles in 1998 (worked with them for about 6 years). Both 16 channels cascaded together. I've been using Tascam DA 88's and 38's for multi-track recording (digital tape). Now I want to move to a Hard Drive unit that will work with my O2R's. Any suggestions? Been out of the game for awhile... :(

Thanks in advance,
- tony

I own one of these and like it so much I thought I'd write a review:

FWIW, I own both the MR-1 and the MR-1000 and use them both all the time. I love them for so many things and have only minor gripes about both of them.

As far as sound quality - both in PCM and DSD (SR of DSD that they offer).

Im no stranger to recording, Ive been recording on my computer for years. Im interested in diving into the realm of analog. Whats a good brand to look for on ebay or something?
