I will say that you may want to pre order one if you want one, like myself and many did for the Edirol R-09, as these might be hard to find for a while when they first come out.
Thanks, I'll probably do that. Only problem is that I have to have it by October 31st. If i can't get it by then I need to plan to get something else.
Any vendors you recommend i give my business to?
Try contacting sweetwater.com or soundprofessionals.com, as they will get a god early shipment of them in.
The only thing with sweetwater and soundprofessionals tough is that the first shipment might have already been given out.
I pre ordered early enough (from sweetwater) that I should be in that first shipment.
I suggest calling them up, and seeing when they might be getting delivery (as mine could have changed as well).
BTW, Sweetwater assigns a rep to you which is nice.
I have dealt with soundprofessionals in the past and they are fantastic to deal with as well.
Both come highly recommended.
