One more thing for anyone who actually uses the inner knob, watch out for lowering/attenuating with the inner knob! I believe it is technically possible (I've been meaning to test this, and I think this would prove the inner knob is digital and outer is analog) if you have the inner knob turned to the left to brick the signal without the clipping lights lighting up on the right. So, if you are going to use the inner knob, I think I'd stick with only using it to add digital gain, not to attenuate digitally (personally I see no good reason to even touch the knob at all except to make sure it's at zero).

Indeed, and that's how it is with many such devices.  However, the R-44 usefully has a clip light to the left of the meter indicating analog preamp clip, so there's no excuse for getting it wrong (except you have to keep watching the meter - pity it doesn't lock on).

Not to seem like a wise ass, although maybe I am but when I was considering buying an R-44 I looked at these first
...  Oh yeah I did buy one and I run a Edirol UA-5 BM2p+ and a Sound Devices MP-2 in front of it, Kirk

It's good to be wise +T

BTW: What are you recording?

did Papa Grows Funk courtesy of a Louie hook-up with the band.  Just recorded a bunch of bands at the Bite Of Portland a couple of weeks ago.  I am one of the archivists for Jerry Joseph too.  And recorded five bands at a small festival in Bend Or last weekend, kinda jam band type stuff.  Actually had my first paying gig recording at the Bite.  The Jerry Gracia Birthday Band paid me to push the record button! I was already set up recording bands before and after them so I look at it as I got $50 to push a button.

FWIW, I just recorded a test with a Transcend 16GB class 6 card at 24-44.1-stereoX2 to capacity with no problems.

Can you try out 24/48 stereoX2 for me sometime soon?

I'm doing it right now, I'll let you know.

No problem with the 16gb transcend class 6 SDHC at 24-48 sterero x2 ran until unit shut off all files intact.

Maybe we should now revert to http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,107018.60.html which has a more relevant title for R-44 discussions?

Or not, whatever...

have you looked at the wave file at all to see if there were any abnormalities?

For me, the only time I had problems with the cards cf or sd is when I took them out of the device and used a card reader. As far as I know right now the R-44 only can be used with a 8gb card.

This is simply WRONG.  I use the PNY 16GB Class 4 cards without problems.  2 x stereo 24/48 and 1 x stereo 24/96.  If someone wants to swing it like a cowboy go buy one of the 32GB PNY cards from Costco's site and try that.  They are only $120 compared to the 16GB's $70.
