SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: Absolutely the best sound quality of any portable stereo recorder. Feature: Lacking in internal features because it does not have a hard drive. CD's can only record at 16/44.1. Does not support DVD-RW or DVD-RAM. However, the media can be read by any computer with a DVD drive (no need to re-record to your DAW), and the DV-RA1000 can be used as a DVD rom drive via USB. One big plus is the onboard compressor/limiter which can be set for record or playback (saves your hide sometimes) Ease of Use: Requires extensive setup and formating (this machine is for advanced users only). If the file information is not correctly written after a recording, all the information could be lost. (I lost an entire recording because I did not push stop before the disk ran out of space). Quality: Other than the questionable file information problems, this machine is as reliable as your trusty old DAT. Never any recording glitches sometimes found on CD recorders. Value: The only DSD solution on the market today under 5 grand. Manufacturer Support: As with most pro-audio companies, customer support is slow and not very helpful. The Wow Factor: Looks great, dazzles all the sound tech guys I meet. Overall: As a DAT replacement, this machine is your best option. If you are looking for mastering studio in a box, try a "Masterlink" or one of those nifty Portawhatevers. The DV-RA1000 is a great stereo location recorder, and doesn't pretend to be anything else.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: El sonido es increible, siempre uso Tascam y he tenido buenos resultados, creo que son los mejores en calidad y tienen seriedad para los trabajos de toda clase. estoy usando productos Sony, Technics, y Tascam. Pro Tools 7, para mix. Manufacturer Support: hay que tener mucha paciencia con todos los servicios en general, pero cuando llegas a ellos te atienden muy bien.
