Partly true, in my opinion.. But if it's practical to double box it helps.. The 3 units (Fostex) that I mentioned were sent to me, not sent by me.. I have integrated a real good method over the last few years; Let's say it's a 4 or 5 space rack mount unit: Wrap it, and also, secure foam pipe...

Hi, Alan? Dan here, out in California.. Hope you're doing well, and that you find this post.. Tascam Remote: RC 2424.. I saw a Tascam User Forums Post that you left, saying ok to use 5v / 4amp two conductor power supply, spliced into a DIN male in the absence of original Tascam Power Supply...

Hi, maybe Alan (?) can answer here, hope all is well, out in Aus, Alan.. I was very happy to discover, quite a while back, that Version 3.12 (and some earlier versions) are capable of a MIX MODE.. I multi-track in 24 bit, and the dither feature available in MIX MODE is a god send.. GENIUS...

Update; Well, this is interesting.. I tried a low level format on another one of the four drives I purchased. Again, it formatted fine, but it would not initialize to FAT32.. On a hunch, I decided to see if it would allow initialization as HFS+ . It did. And I re-booted the recorder, and the...

Hi Alan, long time no talk.. you may remember me, I'm from way over here, in the United States, Monterey California.. I'm going to check the threads when I get home, but just thought I'd check in with you first.. I purchased four Avid Ultra 320 scsi drives.. formatting one at a time, terminated...

Success! Fixed the issue.. Needed to set Scarlett software mixer for Mix 1 L/R SPDIF out. I thought I had done that two or three times, but had not set SPDIF correctly.. The SPDIF output needed to match my monitor and headphone mixes. Thanks again, garww.. Oh, still no sign of Master/Slave...

I think u may have missed my post before my last one.. No master/slave on either unit. May be a software setting, as I did find spdif settings in Scarlett software, but it didn't change results.

Just found another cable.. Still a Video cable, not specified as digital transfer cable, but getting exactly the same results. So i've either got something set incorrectly on the Tascam, or I need an SPDIF coax cable. Or; maybe there is an output setting in the software for the Scarlett...

Thanks.. Well, I'm not seeing an option for slave and master, on either unit. Simply spdif OUT from the Scarlett, and spdif IN to the Tascam. No slave/master options, as "out" would be "master" and "in" would be "slave" .. I tried it w/out conversion, and still no signal at meters. But the...

Thanks, yeah, could be the cable.. Still tho, I am getting sample lock, that's why it's a little baffling. Reason going with 17-24 is that those are 1 of the three blocks of tracks from which you use 2 channels. Using the 17-24 block to keep SPDIF signal away from tracks already recorded on...

Hi Alan.. Hope all is good.. So I'm looking at getting my SPDIF from my audio interface (Scarlett 6i6) to my MX2424. A little baffled, however, because, as far as I can tell, I have all MX menu parameters set properly. And, in fact, I AM getting steady illumination of the sample lock indicator...

3.10 is going fine for me, and it is recognizing 73gb, so I figure leave it be. Can't think of anything in .12 that I desperately need Thanks.. Yeah, we may have had similar conversation before.. I think u were prompting me to upgrade from 2.something, so I went to 3.10 because I had a smart...

Thanks Alan, 3.10 does recognize 73gbytes. I compared two empty drives (a 73 and a 36) by checking rec time on each. The 73 had about twice as much, so there's our answer.. I think the mx with earlier software would format a 73gb drive, but only recognize 36, but I could be wrong on that...

Alan? I can't remember what the max recognized gigabytes is when using V3.10.. Is it 36gb or 73gb? If I remember correctly, even if using a 73gb HD, version 3.10 will see only 36gb Did I get it right, or will it see all 73gb? Looked on internet, didn't find answer. Thanks as always, Dan
