Topic: Edirol R-09 release information

flash memory cards with capacity greater than 2GB will exhibit odd behavior (like not being able to show how much space on a 4GB card is available for new recordings)

my r09 / transcend 4gb have always correctly displayed the total capacity remaining on the card when starting a new recording.  is it not working for others?

[gewwang]

I've got a freshly formatted 4gb transcend card in mine with it on rec standby and it's showing 03:59:27 remaining.

+T to all you guys (George, sleepypedro, etc.) who have been reporting the good news that the 4GB Transcend cards are working out so well with the R-09. I'm about convinced to purchase a Transcend card now.

W/ the recorder on rec standby my transcend shows 3:57:46 remaining after a format & settings at 24/48.  Wonder where that extra 1:45 seconds went?

My second 4 GB file ended up being 4,040,963KB and 239:27.65 according to file mgr and cdwav.

Now I'm not able to save a clip of it like I did with the first in cdwav using splits. Has anyone tried this and gotten a "Unable to read source file" error?

That can't be good

Isn't a 4GB card really only something like 3.8GB?  Maybe that's the problem? 

Just out of curiosity George, did you run the Transcend recovery capacity utility program on your card?

[Gutbucket]

My experience with the Trancend 4GB card is that both the recoding time counter and time remaining info on the main recording screen correctly display the full capacity of the card in time units.  However, if you browse the menu to card information the size reported in MB, is incorrect.  Browsing to song information also displays incorrect size in MB if the file is too large (presuabley over 2GB, but I have only checked it for 4GB and very small files - the small ones display the correct file size).

Sleeply, As you suspected both the USB Cable connection from the recorder and the USB thumb drive worked fine last night on my Compaq laptop.   I also believe it's the built-in card reader driver that is to blame.  I updated the driver which specifically addressed an issue with certain Trancend cards, but it's still not recognizing the card. I'll look into into it further, but at least I can use the USB cable connection when I go out of town recording in a couple weeks.

If you need to, you can use the audiohack.exe utility to split the 4gb file into two 2gb files.

Details on how to split the files are here:

A co-worker of mine just showed me a photobank he just purchased on ebay for 32$ with shipping from China. Took five days to get here from China at close of ebay auction. Check it out...

The unit is actually pretty damn solid - and the screen looks great. Just install the laptop drive of your choice and your ready to go.

Here's a link to the manufacturer.  http://www.cenda.com.cn/en/product_fd.asp?ProductID=73

I wonder if Iriver owners who bought an R-09 could upload from the R-9 directly to the iriver via USB, since, as far as I remember, the H3xx, ( also the H1xx? ) can function as an USB host. If this doesn't work, would a USB SD card reader connected to the iriver do it?

[SunWizard]

The iRiver H3xx series works as a USB host, but it doesnt have optical in/out so is not very popular for us tapers.  The H1xxs don't work as a USB host.

Last night I did my first field recording, and I have to say this is the stealth dream!

I ran it for 3 hours and there is no problem with the file, but I was unsure of the input levels so I ran it on 10 but that was way to low
But I’m really happy with the quality of the sound.

Here is 2x2 min sample, one up-tempo and one slow.

I had to amplify it 15 dB nothing more.

Up-temp 2,75 MB

Slow 2,84 MB

[it-goes-to-eleven]

FWIW, I have found that the trim adds up to 28dB of gain. Each increment seems to be 1 dB. Setting 0 mutes the input.

The same 28dB of gain is available on all input modes (mic low/high, line).

My measurements of the gain range for each mode are less accurate. But it is approximately:

mic low: 17 dB (17-45dB)
mic high: 42 dB (42-70dB)
line: 12 dB (12-40dB)

Still wondering how mic low sounds compared to line.

what mics are you using?  (straight into the R09?)
