And Dolby NR is no longer available for licensing, so no new recorders with Dolby. You'll need to keep digital archive copies.

I think it can record 24 tracks @24 bits, 48 kHz simultaneously to an SD card. You can only overdub 8 channels though. Seems enough to me. If it needs drivers, I would worry if Tascam will be supporting it for a long time. They seem to drop support quite soon if the product doesn't sell very well.

They weren't threatening to sue me for libel or defamation. It wasn't about my opinion. It was about the use of their brand name. An entirely different story. And I've been there before. Cost me around 5.000 €. And yes, I can sue for costs. But in trademark cases, the amount awarded rarely...

Thanks, Miroslav, for kindly illustrating my points.

It's a bit pricey for a deck like that. I was offered an AKAI GX 230D for 35 € a few weeks ago on a flea market. Condition unknown, but had very good looking heads. I didn't buy it, because I would have to carry it a long way to the car and it's a heavy bugger... Besides, I'm looking for a 2...

There was a recent publication about it, again. It's slowly being accepted by science. Lead is strange. The MD who discovered that lead was poisonous, in the early 20th century, was discredited by his peers. He ended up in an insane asylum. 25 years later, it was rediscovered that lead was...

LOL. Someone, forgot who, has a thing up on his site you have to agree to to get to the content. In it, you agree that every cent you own and your firstborn child is his to keep. 98% of the visitors agree to it. Needless to say it isn't enforceable. But it is bad, however you look at it. I...

I reckon the war on drugs has a lot to do with that. Up until the 1900's, nobody cared much about drugs. The pope had his "Vino Mariani" with cocaine and Coke also contained cocaine. One of the founding fathers grew weed, IIRC. I don't know why or when that changed, but a large percentage of...

I didn't say China was any better. Just that in the Western world, companies can get away with a lot of stuff because the company might get a hefty fine and go broke. No skin of the CEO's back. Look at VW, for instance. If a company pulls that kind of stunt in China, heads will roll, literally...

I don't hate Americans... I just don't understand how a lot of them can be so naive and not stand up in protest. I mean, if someone pulled one like the senate stuff in China, fi they would be jailed for decades. Anyhow, it's good comedy. :D

Well, Dave, I'll be the first to admit I don't know about tubes. But even if Blackstar holds a patent, it doesn't necessarily mean they are the first one to design such a circuit. I don't know. Is there a schematic you could show me? The patent system is a complete mess. With Google trying to...

There's NO copyright on schematics. There is, however, copyright on board designs. I've never seen a Behringer board that was a blatant copy of a board made by others. There's fi, the story on the nets that the ADA8000 is a copy of an RME ADI8. If you even take just a glance at it, you can see...

So it doesn't bother you that democracy is just a fake word? It seems it is bothering a lot of Americans. They move. And at least some of them end up here. They like it. We've got a lot of great beers. And even wine too, lately. Besides, France is next door... :D

Funny Dave. The medium sized retailers here are openly advertising with Mackie clones, Shure clones, and, yes, even Behringer clones... Imagine, cheaper than Behringer! I can understand your dislike if you had a BCA2000. That's from a period when Ulli hadn't realised yet that you need to keep...

That makes two of us, Rob. I use six Behringer B5's. Economical, versatile and if they break you just get another one. They're cheap. I've got a number of 'better' mics and we've done numerous blind tests with people who have good ears. Nobody was able to consistently recognize either the...

It was the access control system. The badge they used to get into the building. Not the most important system, surely, but still, how does your gov get fooled into paying far too much for a magstripe card with the photo of a chip on it? And it worked because it still used the magstripe reader...

I'm sorry, man. Had to get that off my chest. And as I didn't comprehend the expression, I had to look it up. The first site that tried to explain it, had auto censored itself in order not to ruin their Google rating. Sad.

The BR800 is USB2 Audio Class compliant. It doesn't need drivers on the Mac, or Linux. It is also a recorder. As an interface, it will only allow 2 channels in and 2 channels out. At least, that's what my failing memory tells me. You just need to select it in System Preferences/Sound. If MIDI...

Sometimes it feels like Americans are allergic to security. Why do you still use magstripes on CC? Your ATM's run Windows, FFS... The entire business of "online" banking started here, in Belgium, way before the internet existed. First, we had top drop security because Germany and France...

I'll just add this to TAE's experience with the cloud: Besides losing access to an account, some providers go out without any warning, sometimes. Another thing a lot of people are using to add some privacy, or to be able to watch Netflix programming outside of the geo restrictions, is a VPN...
