Ive just bought an edirol r09-hr,and stick it in my shirt pocket,and use the internal mics.Ive only recorded one show,nothing major,but the internal mics are quite good.Saying that,in future i will use external mics,so i can put it in my jacket pocket so its not on show.I just wanted to see how good the internal mics were at a live show.I also have and still use a md,but decided to upgrade to an edirol,and i think its going to give me some nice results once i get to plug in some mics.
