- How long have you use it?
I use the Edirol R-1 for a week. I was looking for a stro recorder for concerts or rptitions. I wanted in particular recording a jazz trio (Piane / bass / drums) dmo to couraging a live quality without having to go through a multi-track recorder.
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The points that I find are particulirement INTERESTED:
a. prsence the Stros of quality microphones. I tonn by the quality of the recording obtained with the microphone, and all those who have cost my recordings have confirmed my opinion
b. The file transfer via USB. This is the point that really DCID. Most of the recorders in the same price range do not offer a simple transfer. Here, just plug the R-1 to PC or Mac and a ceremonial volume on the desktop. Just then copy the files on your hard drive.
c. The battery life parat me well. I use Ni-Mh, and autonomy is at least three or four hours.
The point that made me hsiter is that storage is on CompactFlash cards, which are Chres. I bought a 512MB CF card (50 euros), and I recorded the moment in 256kbps mp3. In this format, the recording time is over 4 hours, and the quality satisfies me.
I have not had the opportunity to compare the quality diffrent the format (Wave 16-bit, 24-bit or mp3)
On the other hand, we talked about in other reviews of handling noise. There are indeed important, and we must think as usual we want to do. The pickups are indeed sensitive trs and capture all the noise. To save a rptition or a concert, if the volume is lev this poses no problem. To register from home, you should soundproof a pice.
Last point that I noticed later the maximum sound pressure is quite low. Do not esprer record a rock band with this camera, microphones and saturate it inaudible. I have also not Russian rgler this problem by covering the grid of microphones of a paper or foam protection. The technical specifications do not indicate the maximum sound pressure, and that information that would have INTERESTED ...
To overcome this problem, I use a small capacitor microphone sony powered by the R-1 when I want to record a rock band in rptition. I find it regrettable not to use the microphones Intgr!
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I have not had the opportunity to try other models because there is not REALLY a competitor. Hsit I buy a Hi-MD, but the constraints of the Features and MiniDisc dcourag me.
- How do you report qualitprix
The price is lev, but for comparison, a good Hi-MD score at least 250 euros, and a good microphone around 150 euros. The recording quality is worth the price lev.
Exprience with, you will do again this choice?
I think I would do this choice.
