Topic: Edirol R-09HR - Part THREE

Scott/Digifish,

Have you ever used the Sony D50? I know you're a big fan of the R09 and R09HR but the D50 looks quite tempting.

thanks,
Sean

No but from the comparisons/recordings I have heard it makes better (lower noise, more detailed?) internal mic recordings than the R09HR. Line in would be no better or worse IMO.

The D50 is a bit larger, and twice as heavy as the HR, so more awkward in comparison. http://www.wingfieldaudio.com/ has a good comparison.

Digifish, dude, this site is incredible!  Thanks so much for posting the link.  Now when and if I decide to go 24 bit I'll have all the answers in one place.  Can someone please sticky this link?

Update: I installed 1.04 successfully, first try, with the 512MB card that came with the recorder.  Why this wouldn't work with my 8gb card I have no idea.

Someone asked which card that is, and it's a Transend 8GB HC card, class 2.

That was me.
Please, don't take me wrong, I have nothing against your choice of SD cards,
but there are lots and lots of similar cases ( errors etc) with Transend SD cards. Weird.
Anyway, it`s good to know that right now everything is OK.
Take care

Yep, I set it to record 24/96 wav for awhile and let the card fill up ... no problems.

What brand of card are you using in yours? I might get a 16GB card since I seem to derive pleasure from knowing I'm recording so many 1's and 0's, even though I can't hear a difference between 44.1K and 96K. Which brand would you recommend?

16gb adata and kingston work for me/mine

Hi,

Well, Kingston cards. Not because I'm some sort of an expert or something like that, but because I've never heard a single bad word about that particular brand. I use 4GB and 8 GB class 6 , no problems so far.
On the other hand, I've seen zillions of negative posts regarding Transcend ( Transend?) SD cards.
Take care

My Transcends work without any problem. 4G SD and SDHC's.

FWIW, I never had any problems with Transcend cards in either my R09 or R09hr.

[Dede2002]

I'm not saying that all Transcend cards are bad. I only found strange that there are many cases related to that brand. Thats' all. 

P.S.: What FWIW stands for?

FWIW, I also had the 'slow card' message with Transcend cards with the R-09 but no problems recordings so far.

I used my Edirol R-09HR for the first time last night and I have a question.

Set Up: Edirol > Church Ugly Pre > DPA-4060

The Edirol was set Mic Gain low > Low Cut Off ( Recorded in 48K-24B )
The Church Ugly was set a 11 o'clock (Unity gain)
The mics were used in the LINE IN Jack.

I was about 20' from a EV stack in a small club to test this set up
for the first time, the band was The Blues Travelers.

My levels were slamming so hard that I had to use the level input button
on the Edirol and bring it down to 10 or 11 just to keep the levels between 12 & 6 on the screen.

Is going that low ( since the HR goes to 80 ) a problem ?


Thanks for any input.
