QUOTE (azusa @ Jul 2 2005, 23:45) It's too expensive. Edirol R1 is much better and cost less. I had an Edirol R-1 during three months before it got stolen and used it intensly during that time. My verdict is the following: Apart from a horrible look (you might say that's not important, but then...) it is an ok but overpriced piece of portable equipment. it records up to 24-bit audio in .wav-format, mp3 up to 320kps, so thats fine. the internal microfone has a horrible sound and the stereo quality of it is rather disappointing. Another little thorny thing is that if you have the recording level turned up and you where a headphone, the entire R-1 seems to record the noise around you - pretty unpleaseant! until you turn down the record level... - I mostly recorded with my external little Sony Microfone (ECM-MS907) which has an excellent stereo quality for its size. The little jog-wheel to step through the menu points fell off after the second day of use and the AC Adapter is a hassle. And remember - the price doesn't include any smart memory card! So the price for having a 1GB memory card + the R1 was some 550 .- € VAT included!!! - way to expensive if all you want is record good quality audio Ah, I almost forgot: the effects: some funny low-fi stretching effects can be achieved, but nothing you couldn't do on your G4/5 running a production sequencer like Logic. - Good thinking... andyface
