Needed: Media for Mackie HDR 24/96
Hello RAPers,
I have posted in here for a while, but it seems I have a chance to do a little audio work with a piece of gear I haven't touched in years. I'm looking for the IDE drives and carriers for the Mackie HDR 24/96. It seems like Mike Rivers, Harvey Gerst and a few others had a procedure to build your own, but it really doesn't matter if they're home-brew or factory products. I think I'll need as many as 6 to get started on this project. Let me know here or via email if have any to sell. Thanks, Artie artie_t(at)swbell.net |

I think I'll need as many as 6 to get started on this project. Let me know here or via email if have any to sell. http://www.mackie.com/support/FAQ/hd....html#carriers "Hardwa:Mother Board::Carriers I would like to purchase a drive carrier and/or receiver that is compatible with the HDR (MDR/SDR). I would like to place this into my PC or external USB2/firewire chassis. What do you recommend? The below units are all part of the Lian-Li "Group-A" Inner rack family. All "Group-A" inner trays are electrically interchangeable. See Lian-Li RH-58. http://www.lian-li.com/Product/Mobile_Rack/IDE_A.htm Also see carrier/receivers (M90 RH-58) http://www.mackie.com/products/mackiemedia/index.html The complete list is: RH-06, RH-10 (all plastic, for older 4500rpm or slower drives) RH-12, RH-20 (all plastic, for older 5400rpm or slower drives, ATA - 100) RH-40, RH-47 (Aluminum bottom plate heat sink for 5400 and 7200rpm drives - supposed to run 4 to 6 deg. C. cooler, ATA - 133) RH-58 * (Mackie M90 equivalent) (A RH-40 with 2 fans for large capacity 7200 and 10000rpm drives - supposed to run 10 deg. C. cooler, ATA - 133) Fans can be unplugged if the case is too noisy for your application but be sure to check the drive after it has been running - if it's too hot to touch with the back of your finger, then reconnect the fans. - See Lian-Li RH-58 http://www.lian-li.com/Product/Mobile_Rack/IDE_A.htm Note from Will - (Some users report problems with RH-58, see mackie forums.) Also see Firedock (www.firedock.com) external firewire drive/bay using Lian-Li (http://www.lian-li.com/Product/Mobile_Rack/IDE_A.htm) and drive carriers and receivers.

In that case, you should update the software to Version 1.4 and buy my book: The Last Mackie Hard Disk Recorder Manual at http://www.cafepress.com/mikerivers It seems like Mike Rivers, Harvey Gerst and a few others had a procedure to build your own, but it really doesn't matter if they're home-brew or factory products. I think I'll need as many as 6 to get started on this project. You probably don't have the BIOS upgrade, so you'll be limited to 30 GB drives. Best to start looking for those now as drives that "small" are rarely sold over the counter any more, you have to buy from on-line sellers. Get new drives, not used drives. I haven't run into a brand in a few years that doesn't work so you don't need to worry about what to get. 20 or 30 GB, IDE (ATA100), minimum 5400 RPM, 2 MB cache, though you'll mostly find 7200 RPM with an 8 MB cache. Maxtors are nice and quiet, Hitachi (IBM) are even quieter, but there's nothing wroing with Western Digital. For some reason few people seem to be using Seagate, perhaps as a result of availibility (or not). |

By the way....
I am trying to install a new external HD on my HDR. I already tried 3 different brands but no one seem to work. The HD I bought were Maxtor, Hitachi and Seagate, all formatted FAT32 via PC. What's my problem? F. P.S: for Mike: I'm having trouble with CafePress for ordering your book!! F. |

(Note - they SHOULD be.) There are more guys who use the Mackie HDR/MDR/SDR at the Mackie users forum than you will find here.

Thanks Mike and Will for the replies. I don't suppose either of you
have a couple of 30 Gig drives to sell that are ready to plug in and go?

Maybe you don't have the ribbon cable seated correctly. Maybe you're using the wrong carriers. P.S: for Mike: I'm having trouble with CafePress for ordering your book!! What's the problem? I have no control over what they do, but I'd be curious. I just checked it and the web page http://www.cafepress.com/mikerivers comes up, and I could add the book to the shopping cart. Something else? |

Fortunately, this little recording project should only require some more media for the Mackie and some of my time. It's basically a live, off the board project that someone else will mix and edit. All I have to do is connect the HDR to the board and keep it running for three or four hours a night. And make sure they can fly the HDR wav files into whatever mixing environment they wind up with - ProTools, I suspect. Thoughts? Artie DM |

That much material isn't something that I'd relish jumping in on until it had been considerably thinned down. I'm also assuming that you won't be able to lay your good brains on the material during recording and start working on the individual tracks (EQ, comp, etc.)... so this may be a pretty big chunk of eliminating and polishing. Let me know when things get to a manageable size if you still want some input.
