«  The recorder I needed! »

After two months of use, ROLAND R-26 I was not disappointed. Compared to my old MICROTRACK 24/96 M-AUDIO, I appreciate the tremendous progress despite the large size of the machine! It turns in less than 4 seconds where MICROTRACK took close to 40 seconds.
Can select the voice recording from January to June and tracks all sound tracks are grouped into stereo files (wav 16 or 24 bit 41.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 kHz or mp3) into a folder. Internal microphones, omni or XY pairs are good enough for little one does not touch the body of the camera during recording, it inevitably transmits the slightest sound manipulation. The touch screen is very convenient. MEANING key quickly adjusts the input sensitivity of the microphones. The battery allows me to at least 2:30 Registration no phantom power.
With this device, it becomes possible to make a quadraphonic recording with 4 mics on two independent inputs and XLR ANALOG IN PLUG IN MIC input stereo mini jack 3.5 mm. In addition, up to 6 simultaneous tracks, it becomes possible to make a real multichannel sound recording (5.0 or 5.1) or record small groups.
I note, however, some disadvantages: the R-26 is a bit too big to go unnoticed, it is impossible to recharge the batteries by leaving the R-26 is connected, the limiter saturation level is low, you can not record over a track.
