Hello Brian, On Monday, January 23, 2006, 4:19:13 PM, you bellowed the following: > Well I think we should take it easy and see how it actually is and > how knops and stuff are located on the unit > because it's esential for a blind who want to do serious recordings.
Also, look at it this way. The r1 as it is doesn't take nearly the advantage of the speed of compact flash, and SD uses way less power. In fact, edirol recommends not buying high speed cards because they use more than necessary power. As far as the mastering effect of the r1, it can be made to sound ok, but I can definitely live without it. I'd really like to see one to see if the noise floor has been improved as the r1 is a little bit noisy, but not as bad as, say, the PMD-660, if some noise floor demonstrations I found online are anything to go by. What I do like about this unit is the low-cut filter, assuming it's at a good range. This will fix a bunch of SPL issues with some microphones. As far as the price goes, I wanna see what full compass sells it for once it's released. They currently have the best deal on new r1's that I know of at $389. -- Good Monday, -- Patrick Perdue (MCP, CNA) KE4DYI Greensboro, NC website: http://www.pdaudio.net home: +1(828)221-2971 Mobile hone and SMS: +1(336)509-5583 e-mail and .net messenger: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skype: Borris -------------------- For anything related to the yamaha motif line of keyboards and modules, subscribe to the motif-help mailing list by sending a blank message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
