FD-8....SCSI or IDE (noise inquiry)??

[Cratinus]

just wondering if the IDE drives on the FD-8 "clatter" a bit. i'll be doing vocals and miking acoustic guitar only 2-3 feet away. perhaps i'd better mount a cabled SCSI drive beneath my keyboard stand. any IDE drive users care to report on the "noise factor" of the internal drive? should i opt for the SCSI drive? cheers and thanks for any feedback.

Good point. I can't answer because I have an scsi, but even then I have to cover it with a blanket to lessen the noise. Good Luck.

I have the same answer, I use a SCSI and I still cover my drive. You might want to ask folks on the Roland forum since so many of those machines use internal drives where I find more external drive users here on the Fostex forum.

Peace, Jim

are you guys talking about how loud the zip drive is? i HATE that

i don't think many people use the ide. i too use a scsi and its noisy as hell. i don't think mounting it below a keyboard stand would help much either. i record pretty far away from mine and i'm still thinking about putting it in a box or somethin. snoogans.
