But, really if you think about it, what the heck is a stealth taper going to do with 4 channels? I highly doubt in a stealth situation you're going to be able to get 4 mics going and get a mix that sounds good. It takes me a while in the open to get everything right with four mics.

yes thats true.

comes to mind: has anyone (stealther) ever run two setups at the same time? i have two recorders and two mics. i could try and wire myself up real cool. however, i might look like the una-bomber right  ;D

I want a stealth recorder that'll do 5.1. I'll just tape DPA's all the way around my head  ;)

This from Doug Oade:

#2082, "RE: Edirol R-4"
In response to Reply # 1

...I agree, it should be a boon to advanced tapers. As it is made by a company with a lot of resources (Roland) it should pack a big bang for the buck. If it sounds good or can be made to sound good, I will own one ASAP. No info is supposed to be out in public before this Thursday. I bet if the guys at Edirol saw Recordista's post they would be shocked, they no doubt think they managed to keep it a secret! Once I get one in my shop, I will offer an opinion based on how it sounds, a full description of the feature set will be made public on Thursday .
peace...Doug

P.S.  just noticed the original link (http://livefromaes.com/articles/publish/article_9.shtml) isn't working now.  Coincidence?  Maybe Edirol is pissed this got out to the public so they pulled it...

Anyone save the pictures?  I assume there were some since people were discussing it's size.

My hopes are very high, hopefully Edirol figured out how to make it bit perfect...

theres no info on R-2 or R-3 on the edirol homepage, you can access the R-4 Details on their homepage - the product detail sheet is already on their server:

That thing looks pretty damn cool, if you ask me.  The fact that it has phantom power is pretty cool too, esp. if Oade can/will do W/P/T mods on that sucka.

It's gonna be expensive, but it might be worth it if you can get 24/96, and a pre/recorder all in one box.

So we find out how much it'll cost tomorrow?  :P

Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.
