OK, so now I'm digital with the D824, but what is the best way to archive my projects? The Fostex CD burner and their DAT recorder both do the job, but in reading the manual it looks as though these will not work at the 24 bit/96 kHz fidelity. An external ZIP drive seems to be the way to go, has anyone out there tried it?
The Iomega ZIP drive holds approximately 2 GB, so this method could get expensive. Having come from the cassette world (where everything was cheap and easy) and being a bit apprehensive toward Iomega products (which used to be great) and their longevity, I wonder if there is a better method around the corner if I were to wait a couple of months. Maybe a Fostex DVD burner is in the works?
For now, since hard drives are so cheap, I'm tempted just to buy several 30GB's, label them and reference the drives in the recording charts. Otherwise, I can record at 16 bit/44.1 kHz and archive to the Fostex CD burner, which would be great, but the 24/96 capability goes to waste.
Anyone else out there having this issue?
