Finally caught the fedex lady today, and got my Oade CM R-44!
this thing is tiny from what you'd expect! i've used a DAP1 and 722 before from loans, but i'm impressed with the 44's size.
i decided to check out my 4GB SD card that works flawlessly in my R-09. so i set the R-44 to 24/192 and recorded stereox1 using the internal mics. just sat it in front of the tv for a few minutes. about a minute in to the recording, i got the "slow card error"... upon playback, the recording is full of dropouts. about a one or two second drop out every 7 or 8 seconds on the recording.
so, i guess i need some SD card options that are known to work well with the R-44. 16gb should be fine to record 4 channels at 24/192 or 96 right?
also, what's the basic setup i should set it at? planning on using the dvd battery (adapter?) i use with the ua-5 and mostly running 2 channel external mics, sometimes 4 (stereox1, stereox2). gain knobs?
anything else important to know?
i read all the threads here a few weeks ago, but i need to go over them again now that i have this thing in front of me.
i can't wait to get this bad boy to a show!
