Title: edirol r1 in-stock anywhere?
Post by: sleepypedro on May 09, 2005, 01:33:45 PM: i got a few splotches of digi-noise on a couple of recent masters, and it's the straw that broke the camel's back. i want to ditch my 16-bit sony portables ASAP!

i'm on the list for a 722 (*and* 744, hee hee), but i'm also looking at the edirol r-1 for certain applications. does anyone know of a vendor that's got them in-stock? all of the usual suspects are out of stock.

thanks in advance for any leads!

I know where you can get a 744T in stock right now (at least as of last week). If you're interested, drop me a line.

Post by: sleepypedro on June 13, 2005, 12:06:20 AM: i'm loving mine so far. last night's van morrison master is totally perfect. still would like to do a comprehensive a/b between the 16 bit modSBM and 24 bit r1 before i completely endorse, but... yeah, i'm pleased so far.

and yes, new guy, it records. :banging head:

Post by: WiFiJeff on June 13, 2005, 12:45:31 AM: What I like about the R1: I'm up to almost 80 runs, it's a lot easier not to screw up with the R1 than with a DAT portable. Way less hassle and faster transfer to CD via computer. Certainly not inferior sound (I go line-in). I just finished two recordings, one at 24 bits and one at 16 bits, of a loud classical concert, same program different nights, almost same seats. Good levels so I didn't need to do much editing, and used Wavelab's UV dithering algorithm to put the 24 bit version into 16 bit wave files for CD. I hear no difference, but will pass them on to my friend with high-end audio equipment this week.

I think Sound Professionals got in a bunch of them last week, too.

any new info on availability by end of june ... is this thingy really gonna come true by june/july ??

By now (shipping only two weeks away) we should have some up-to-date infos .... Anyone ? ... Pls ...

I suppose stocks of this will be VERY tight ... as is with R1 ... you actually have to haunt them ;o)

What do you think are the main advantages the m-audio will offer over the R1 ... ??

Wait for m-audio flashtracker or go with the R1 once you can get it in your hand ?? Any consensus ??
