Now, I tend to hit "stop, record-pause, record" between songs to write the data to the card. If you do, then change batteries with the power on, you can lose your recording! I did this once, and it was embarrassing to say the least. * Here's a big warning: It's easy to confuse the similar power switch and "hold" switch. * I've successfully used Lexar 80x WA 2GB CompactFlash card and a SanDisk Ultra II *4*GB CompactFlash card once I finally figured out that the SanDisk card had a secret little switch to choose between two 2GB banks or the whole 4GB memory! Edirol warns that some Lexar cards can use too much power, which is why I bought the SanDisk, although I didn't notice a problem using the Lexar card. The omnis got a little muddy with a big band and needed some help later with EQ.
I like the AT-822 better than the built-in omnidirectional mics, at least in a hall with echo. Hook 'em up, get good mic placement and levels, and you should have a recording you can use for a high-quality CD with minimal minimal effort and processing. * As I'd hoped, the Audio-Technica AT-822 stereo mic is a great match for the R-1. I was glad I had 24 bits when it came time to mix.
I had the input level all the way up for some low-volume stuff in a small hall, and the levels were pretty low. * Sensitivity seems to be less than that of an Mbox. (This is even more critical at 16 bits than at 24.) I did well keeping them at about 75% "full". I guess they're peak meters, rather than RMS or average meters, so you need to get them up pretty high for music with a large dynamic range. (Levels show only in these two modes.) Initially, with live music, I had the levels at about half. * The levels display is a different mode in recording than in record-pause you have to hit the Display button several times to get it. In addition to what I wrote before (jf: about the Edirol R-1), here are some more observations after recording several concerts live:
