Actually prior to using the UBBThreads forum software we started in June 1998 or so!

Great job, Justin! I learned a ton here.

Great to see you are around! Wishing you well!

Wow.

Justin, you did good.

I too have learned so much from this board...Thanks Justin! I was so happy to find this site after getting my DA7 and was sad when I had to part with it for dimes on the dollar. It was still in pristine condition and I told the buyer about this site, don't know if he ever registered here. Anyway like I said...Thanks Justin and best wishes to everyone here!

I still have my DA7 - teamed up with a Tascam MX-2424. Use them every week. Just this week I got the "Low Battery" warning on my DA7. Not too bad for being 20 years old!!! I also have a couple of the rotary potentiometers that are a bit wonky, so I found some suitable replacements up on ebay. Gonna tear into it next week after I get finished with a couple of sessions going on this week and weekend! This thing has sure earned it's keep over two decades!!!

Very happy to see you are still here! I came back to refer to a post I wrote years ago about repairing my DA-7 because I had to do it again today. I was glad to see that a lot of people downloaded the pictures I shot over the years, and they helped me again. (No idea which computer I saved the originals on of course.) Got the old girl up and running again.

Just bought 2 DA7 and I want to set it up with the ADAT Cards to communicate with my RME Interface. Anyone can show me how to do this?

Well, I replaced the CR2032 memory backup battery this weekend. No big deal, just have to remove a bunch of screws from the perimeter (don't forget to remove some under the front edge of the desk) and then the control surface hinges up from the back. I used a 20" long paint stick to hold the unit up and open while I was working inside. Once open, you can see the battery pretty much dead center in the bottom of the mixer on a PC board. So that I didn't loose all the preset settings, I plugged the mixer back in and turned the power ON. With the power ON, I then removed the battery and replaced with a fresh one. Maybe a little dicey doing this with the AC power supplied and the mixer turned on - but this method worked. No settings, preset or scenes lost after cycling power....
