Edirol R-09HR - Part THREE

[guitard]

Speed class doesn't matter for recording, but may allow for faster transfer of data off the card to the computer in a reader.

I just bought 2 more 16GB class 4 Kingston cards from Newegg for my R-09s.

Just used this link to order two of these 16GB cards - for a grand total of $80.78 (includes shipping).  What a great deal - thanks for the link!!

Damn....you posted this around two hours too late!   

Are Adata cards generally considered reliable?  I bought Kingston cards and they seem to have a very good reputation for working well in the Edirol.

I have Kingston 8gg and 16gb cards, no problems in my camera or deck

I have an Adata 16gb, no problems in my camera or deck

That is all I can offer, is no issues on my end and about 5 months of recording and pix taking

That's nice to know.  Sending you a virtual +T (since I don't have enough posts to give you an actual +T).

Thanks for the thought... but how is 480 posts not enough for tickets?  weird

+T for the thought

I read somewhere here at the board that the thresh hold for having the ticket option is now 500 posts.  Apparently some folks were setting up 2nd, 3rd, and 4th accounts, posting 50 quickie posts in each of them, and then using those accounts to either boost their own main account's ticket tally and/or to troll and ding the accounts of people they don't like.

Sad, but apparently true.

Not that this is r09hr related, but that is messed up... it just a message board, not like you earn real money or anything from it

I've been using two A-Data 16 gig cards with no problems for a few months now.

Finally got my Edirol R-09HR and plan on taking it for a test spin this weekend.  It's an all-female mariachi ensemble, and it's outdoors, so I don't think it'll be that loud.

I've got Coresound Stealthy Cardiods with a Coresound battery box.

How does this setup sound:

Line In
ACG - OFF
Low Cut- OFF
Mic Gain - LOW

Internal Set Up

Menu > Input Display > Plug In Power - OFF

Start off with audio input at 50.

Thanks!!

You´re good to go.
Good luck

I dont understand the part above (Menu > Input Display > Plug In Power - OFF)

When I go to menu > input setup > I dont have that option

Plug in power is on the switch in the back.

As far as input setups...is this right....

Rec Monitor Sw (ON)
Mic Type (STEREO)
Limiter/AGC: (LIMITER)..maybe this does not make a difference if switch in back is off?

My setup is CA11 > 9100 > R-09HR

As always I appreciate any input on the input

Yes, you're correct. Plug In power is on the switch in the back.
Mic Type is only good if you run the Mic input. It doesn't work if you use Line In.
I usually leave the Rec Monitor Sw on  the Off position ( I just don't use the monitor).
Yes, don't worry about the Limiter/AGC if the switch is off.
Take care

You were on low sensitivity or plugged into the line-in?

digifish

I tried to go line-in, but I couldn't get a decent signal, so I switched over to the mic jack.

My initial setup was:

Line In
Limiter/ACG - OFF
Low Cut- OFF
Plug In Power - OFF
Mic Gain - LOW
audio input at 50

After switching over to mic, I didn't adjust anything else because I thought since it appeared I was getting a good signal, I was OK as is.

I'm quoting myself here, but this will save me from recreating a post.

I'm kind of lost when it comes to determining the right meter levels.  The first show I recorded (with the above settings - switched to the mic in jack) didn't turn out so well.  My meter levels were showing at about the same levels as in this picture.  Are these too low?

Yes, I'd say they're kinda low. I'm assuming that they are peaking.
If you're taping using 24 bit ( please do) you can tape at conservative levels. Peaking at 12db and you are in great shape.
There is no good reason to peak higher than that if you use 24 bit.
Take care

Anyone know what the "LMT 21:48" on the bottom right indicates?

This is a guess, but I think I took that pic last night around that time (9:48pm).

Edit:  I just checked my Edirol - and yes it's an indicator of the time.
