I asked about custom files sizes and also a digital meter for the inner knob. They only answered one question.

Sorry for the long wait for reply. We are not currently planning to update firmware that allows custom file sizes. Sorry.

The R-44, makes the current version of the OS to V 1.05 and enables users to add effects in Pre Record mode, and also includes updates for the BWF (Broadcast Wave File) marker format, notable with previously recorded data. Other improvements include quicker shutdown times in some modes with SD cards, and a smoother overall workflow helped by minor bug fixes.

First serious R44 run for me last night at band practice. Was trying to leave the inner sens knobs at noon, but afterwards, sure enough one was tweaked a little. Until Edirol does something about the inner knobs, like change their function completely, which will likely be never, I thought of doing this:



A tiny little plastic or even wood strip, say 2mm x 2mm, just glued across the front of the knobs. A pinpoint dot of superglue on each knob could I think break away later without damage if needed. Seems it wouldn't obstruct the main level knobs too much. Crazy?

Peace,
Sanaka

The idea of a finely adjustable level controls on each channel, separate from the stepped sensitivity isn't without merit.  That adjustment could be useful for matching the outputs of mics with slightly different output levels for example. But without any way of knowing exactly how much difference you're dialing in you can't really do that accurately enough to bother.  Better done latter.

Ozpeter's reasonable suggestion to show the level setting on the display while it is being adjusted would allow that as well as confirming that they were doing nothing when set to zero.  Still it would be nice to be able to set any level offsets in a menu so it was it locked and not easily changed.

Battery life seems shorter with AA's. Will measure voltage at home... Deck shut itself done in record mode....

Remember that the update will wipe your settings, so maybe something was changed in your settings that had an impact on battery life (eg pre-record, which effectively means it's recording all the time).  However, we know they've made a change in the pre-record function (to make effects work in the pre-recorded bit) so hopefully they haven't introduced a new bug such that pre-record is always on even if you've turned it off...

But the deck was recording while it shut down, so prerecord isn't a factor.

Also reset all my settings, 3x mono, 44.1 24 bit....

But it could be a factor if you'd had the deck switched on (and didn't realise it was therefore pre-recording) for half an hour before you started the actual recording.  I realise that probably wasn't the case, but the pre-record is a bit of a gotcha thing when considering battery life.

Did you set the battery type back to Ni-MH? It will default to Alkaline after the update.

EDIT: I assume you are using rechargeables?
