I'm considering this unit for my studio to add to my Masterlink, etc.
Has anyone here had any experience with it?
TNX in advance.

What feature(s) attract you to it, and how will you make use of the
recorder and what it does that your Masterlink doesn't? Do you have a
need for delivering 192 kHz recordings somewhere? Or will you be using
it for 2-track DSD recording? Or just want to throw more eggs in a
bigger basket (put more stuff on a DVD than you can get on a CD)?

I have used the Tascam unit on several projects to archive 192 K and
88.2 mixes using external A-D converters. I greatly prefer it to the
Masterlink I own even at the same rates due to the Tascam's ability to
write directly to DVD + RW media.
This avoids the annoyance of having to either keep track of the length
os song files on the masterlink and then if need be edit them before
burning a disc.
The Tascam also has a kybd input which makes labelling mixes much much
easier. Don't know why the thing only comes with a wired remote, but I
haven't needed it anyway.
I can't comment on the Tascam's converters as I am not using them but
would guess they would be the equal or better than the Masterlink.
Lastly the Tascam accepts wordclock sync which the Masterlionk doesn't
making it better for direct playback into something like Pro-tools
(althouigh importing the Wave files from the discs is easier).
I'm planing to sell my Masterlink soon even tho it is less than six
months old. The tascam has most certainly taken its place in my studio.

And there's no problem with any of the mastering houses taking discs
made on the DVRA1000?

I suppose that's reasonable if that's what you need. Usually I tend
not to work in such large chunks but some concert sets occasionally
run longer than a CD.

The Tascam also has a kybd input which makes labelling mixes much much
easier.

How does that work? Is there more to it than just being able to type a
file name? Can you write some text notes that are readable when you
want to read them, and don't get in the way of things like
transferring the file to a mastering workstation?

Mark, thanks for taking the time to answer, I really appreciate it. I
occasionally have the length problem with my Masterlink too, and the
Tascam would make a difference. I LOVE my Masterlink, but I'm definitely
leaning in picking up a Tascam. TNX
