Topic: Edirol R-09 Release Information -ptII

[Rick]

an FYI for those considering the transcend 4GB card like myself.  looks like the rebate offer at newegg.com expires this saturday 7/22 in case you want to order one.

I think it dropped another $1 too... These things are falling fast. I'm pretty sure. I'm going to pick up a 2GB for openers

I believe the manual mentions, it provides a max of 3.3 VDC.

For the people asking a few days ago about phantom, just found in the knowledge base:

Note: The R-09 provides 5V of phantom power.

I downloaded it last night but didn't get it working so I will try again this afternoon while I'm sitting at the Cedar Rapids and/or Chicago OHare airports waiting for my delayed flights home. Thanks in advance for your help.

hah!  the weather in chicago (burbs) is rain and thunder right now so dont be surprised w/ delays.  my flight back from san fran yesterday included a 3hr delay and an unexpected landing/refueling in indianapolis....

We had tornado watches here between 11pm-7am last night. I had no clue as I was driving back from a show in Moline last night in the middle of it.

I think the 3.3v in the manual is more accurate.  I measured my R-09 at 2.5v which probably varies with battery % charge.

gewwang, sorry to hear about your reset issues.  My R-09 keeps the 24-bit setting through overnight battery recharge cycles without power.  At least it has the one time I left it without batts. 

I'll confirm that I also get a no card message for a second or two when booting up before I hit record with the Trancend card, doesn't seem to be a problem though.

Matched 4060's and MMA6000 arrived from Cascademedia this morning.  Yeah!  I knew they were, but man are those things tiny!  Psyched to try 'em for a local show of a good little instumental organ trio in a great sounding venue tonight.  I'm on the road for the next two weeks and may not check in. 'till then, good sounds you you all! 

Ciao!

i had an interesting situation this week where i recorded the opening set, and then powered everything off during set changes.  when i powered back on, the display read "card error" and "SD unformatted", and then the standby display read "no card." (instead of "no song" when you have a blank card) .  i was pissed b/c i thought i would have to format the card, i headed down thatpath, it asked me if i was sure, and i said no.  powered off the unit.  popped out the SD card, popped it back in, and powered up.  it read the card fine, and my opener file was still on there.  and i started the file for the main band at that point .  FWIW this was w/ a 2G card.

to follow up on this, the card i was using was made by Patriot memory, its a 2G card.  i was able to transfer the show off of the card just fine using the R09 and the USB cable.   dont know if this is on the approved Edirol R-09 list for compatibility.

I got mine today. WOO FUCKING HOO!!!!!  and at a damn good price.  the learning curve on this bad boy is about two minutes.

If anyone can help me fix this 0 length file thing using audiohack or any audio application (wavelab, sf, cep, etc.) please help.

George:  I've used audiohack several times with success. It's pretty straightforward to use... copy the WAV file to your HDD.

Then, you start up audiohack > drag & drop the WAV file onto the audiohack window > enter the destination\filename, and audiohack will write two WAV files (the 2nd WAV file is the "keeper," and I'm not sure what the 1st WAV file's purpose is).

If the file won't copy from the R-09 to your HDD to begin with, then simply start up audiohack (with the R-09 hooked up via USB) and drag & drop the WAV file from the 'removable drive' (R-09) onto the audiohack command prompt window.

Do you have audiohack? If not, it's available here: http://www.shoptheozarks.com/GGM/audiohck.zip

Good luck. 

I also downloaded audiohack but couldn't get it to work. Could you please elaborate a bit further on how to perform this manoeuvre. Thanks!

Hehe... I can vouch for that.  I took mine fresh out of the box, had only about 30 minutes to play with it before rushing out to record my first gig.  The manual is nice but ya don't even need it....

I bought one of these yesterday, and so far, I'm very impressed. I've only used it to capture a radio broadcast (line in from digital satellite receiver) though, but it did the job without a hitch, except that I might have been a bit too hot on the input levels

Success recovering my file! Thanks to live2496 and Tom Roach for forwarding me some links on using Ultraedit and audiohack.

I am not 100% sure this is what did it, but the steps were:

- open a good file created on the r-09 and the bad file that you're trying to recover in ultraedit
- edit the first 44 bytes of the bad file to look just like the first 44 bytes of the good file
- save the bad file
- open the bad file with wavelab using options:
           sample format=24 bit
           sample rate = 48000Hz
           channels=stereo
           byte order=little endian
           header size=0
           end size=0
           offset = +1
- save this off and it was fixed

hi,

thanks to all posters for the useful comments on the R-09. i'm thinking i'll pick one up. would any of you owners care to conjecture if with the right small tools one could cut out an opening on the battery cover to allow access to the usb prot without opening the cover?

just a hypothetical question...

regards,

will

Yes I checked mine and you could cut a hole there. Its real easy to slide the door to get to the USB so I wouldn't cut it since the door provides some extra protection, especially against getting dirt and stuff into the SD card slot.  Plus you probably void the warranty so you might want to wait until that runs out.
