Topic: Edirol R-09HR - Part TWO

[Carlos E. Martinez]

What's the problem with the battery door in the 09HR version and how is it worst than on the older 09?

Can this problem be fixed somehow?

[flintstone]

I think the problem people had with the R-09 is that when you open the door to attach a USB cable or change the SDHC card, the batteries can fall out.  The R-09HR moves the batteries to a separate compartment, so that problem is solved. 

The R-09HR's battery door is a sliding plastic cover, like on many electronic gizmos.  When you open the battery compartment, the door comes completely off.  Some people complain about the possibility of losing the cover.  No big deal.

That is very good.

Perhaps a short nylon loop string might be added, through a small hole in the plastic, would prevent that from happening.

When I get mine, I'll just be using a small piece of gaffer tape. haha

FWIW, the battery door on all of my R09 had no issues and I never had any batteries fall out!

On the R09HR, the door does come off (as designed, not sure why) but when it locks on, it is just fine.

I don´t see the batterydoor as a problem. Should be easy enough to make your own "lock" for it. Since the door is pushed upwards to release it you just put something in the space above the door and it can´t be opened. Only problem might be that the door might break easier if you drop the recorder.

Anyway, got mine a few days ago and tried it out in the field yesterday making a stealth 24/96 recording. Worked like a charm.

Not the best design, but black tape does the job for me !

I'm testing my new HR at the moment, and let it ran for about 4h at 24/96 on a 8GB card.
Got 4 seperate files now. How to make one big file of this in for example Adobe aud. v3.0?

Some people have already taped with it. How to deal with this 'problem'?

Copy, paste?
Or save as raw and copy together on the cli?

FWIW

I have recorded at the following volume levels with no issues in sound quality (that i can see or hear):
52
32
30
20
all in different situations and scenarios, all with external mics and pre

How can this work?
The WAVs are 2GB each. 4 of them are 8GB.
The WAV format is limited to 2 or maybe 4GB.
So what format is the output in?

[gmm6797]

what i do is open all of the different wav files separately, then copy/paste them into one huge file in soundforge

i then do all of my editing, normalizing, etc... then i break out no more than 80 min of tracks into new wav files and then save them back to a new directory.  i then use these files to CDWav them up.

at least with windows, you are limited to 2gb wav files, so you are unable to put them all back together to save the one 'mega' file

I'd like to add something here. At least with Sound Studio, you can't use some editing features with a 24/96 file. In order to listen to a preview of your EQ curve, you have to to dither to 48. Yes, you can EQ a 24/96 file, but you can't listen to a Preview. Weird.
