High quality digital Live recording is a cinch with the Edirol Wave R-09. The R-09 is the best way to record without carrying a trunk full of microphones and equipment. It's ultra-small, but don't let that fool you -- the R-09 is a serious, top-quality professional recorder with time-stamp capability. Capture source material at a crystal-clean 24-bit resolution, with your choice of 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. Record and play back recordings as an MP3. A stereo microphone is built right into the unit, complete with a dedicated input control, mono/stereo selector, low-cut filter, and gain boost. Just point and record! Whether you're a songwriter looking to record new ideas, or a fan looking to record live music, recitals or rehearsals, endless audio-capturing options are yours.
The R-09 is perfect for recording live music events, recitals, and rehearsals. It's also handy as a songwriter's sketchpad, ensuring that no moment of inspiration is lost. But the R-09 has many valuable uses outside of the music world as well. Students can use it to record lectures. Broadcasters and journalists can throw away their antiquated cassette recorders and use the R-09 for in-the-field interviews ? the audio-capturing applications are endless.
The R-09 contains the world's most-requested/desired effect: reverb. Whether you're listening to WAV or MP3 files, you can route the R-09's playback through its internal reverb processor, immersing it in lush, user-controllable ambience.

Summary: First Impressions Are Very High
Comment: I don't own the Edirol R-09 Recorder but I just did a job where one was provided for me to use and these are my brief impressions.
I am a sound recordist/mixer for the film and television industries. That means I work on camera crews that film or tape TV shows and movies. One of the many kinds of shoots we do is what we call sit down interviews. You watch them everyday. People, sitting in a room, talking about something. Not the most exciting gig but it's work.
About two weeks ago, I did a sit down interview and the producer provided the Edirol R-09 Digital Recorder for me to use to record the audio I was providing to the cameras onto, so that transcribers could quickly transfer to paper or computer document what had been said in the interview. We used to use small tape recorders to do this and within a year's time, it's all gone digital.
I personally own a Zoom H4 Zoom H4 Handy Recorder made by Samson and will be writing a review on that soon. So I had no experience with the R-09 when it was handed to me. I didn't need any.
The recorder is nice and small, about 30% smaller than the Zoom. Turning it over in your hands, you see that all inputs and outputs are located and labeled well. The control panel on front is also logically set out and labeled well and the function buttons are very intuitive, something that is not true on the Zoom H4.
So I basically just plugged a cable from the proper port of my mixing bag directly into the line in of the R-09, turned on my tone generator, pushed the record button once to see the VU meters, made easy adjustments for volume, and then when the cameras were rolling, pushed the record button again and the R-09 started recording.
Another thing I liked about the R-09 was it's display. Sure, it's small because the recorder is small. But it's perfectly laid out, with everything on it clear and exactly what you need to see to monitor your recording.
I've not used the R-09 for live recording through it's built-in mics, or for recording music. But when played back, the voice recording I did for this television interview was as crystal clear as the master sound I sent to the large broadcast cameras.
That's enough to impress me and I plan on picking up one of the new updated models of this recorder, the Edirol R-09HR High Resolution Recorder Edirol R-09HR High-Resolution WAVE/MP3 Recorder right away.

Summary: Hmm
Comment: Mixed feelings about the R-09 four months after buying from Amazon. First, it came with dated software. I suppose this is the way things go with modern electronic devices. But you may have update your r-09 via your home PC. It was not that easy: I managed to get the 1.31 software downloaded with help from a friend who has an R-09. My unit shipped in 6/08; 1.31 was released by Roland in 9/07. Without the update, my unit wouldn't accept a 4 gig card. Haven't tried an 8 gig. I use the r-09 to record live music. You may want to set the r-09 to record in mp-3 format, as wave takes alot of memory. A four gig card will only last a few hours. The r-09 generally works well. I've been careful with the back hinge after reading all the reviews. Currently my r-09 isn't recording -- something's wrong with it. Still haven't figured out a good audio program to edit r-09 recordings on the PC. Had used goldwave previously.

Summary: Amazing Digital Field Recorder
Comment: The Edirol R-09 is nothing short of amazing. If you need to record live music, this is the answer.
Using it's built-in mics, the R-09 does an excellent job of capturing sound with excellent fidelity. To best them, you'll have to purchase a mic valued at $200 or more.
The controls are simple, obvious, and straightforward. If you spend a few minutes acquainting yourself with them before recording, you shouldn't run into any problems even the first time you use the device.
I find that I get the best results with near-field recording. When recording piano, for example, I place the R-09 over the keyboard, either suspended by a tripod or lying on a felt cloth. When recording voice, I get fantastic results with the R-09 placed 2-3 feet from the vocalist. And if recording a band, placing the R-09 on a tripod at ear level in the center of the group or in the front row center provides excellent results.
While only a 2GB SD card is the specified maximum capacity, I have found standard - not SDHD - 4 GB SD cards can sometimes work. Good luck, though. I've found the 4 GB cards to be slower in writing, making recording more of a hit and miss proposition.
Highly recommended for musicians and music lovers.

Summary: Edirol R-09 Digital WAV MP3 Audio Voice Recorder: Portable, Practical, Posh!
Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1VHK9L8KK01LY The Edirol R-09 WAV MP3 Digital Audio/Voice recorder is one of those gadgets I couldn't do without! It has served me well since I purchased it 2 years ago. Here's the features I love about it:
1. Digitally clear MP3 and WAV audio recording!
2. Easy to use with user-friendly interface, and bright screen
3. Portable and Posh! (It now comes in Red and White versions too)
4. Uses SD cards for storage
5. Uses two AA batteries for power (adapter optional): my favorite feature!
6. Convenient USB cable to transfer files to and from PC. (Admittedly, it's easy to plug-in your SD card in a USB adapter and use this to transfer files to your PC)
7. Powerful condenser mic already built in. No need for external mic
8. Reverb settings are a treat to use! (Note: Reverb used only for listening to audio)
As a pianist and instructor, I use the Edirol R-09 mainly for recording the performances of my students and myself. It's a great teaching tool, especially because it records in MP3 format, which then can be transferred into iTunes. My students can critique themselves with the recordings produced. The audio clarity is phenomenal. (I even produced my first WEDDING MUSIC CD in collaboration with a flutist using the Edirol R-09!)
Edirol R-09 has my five-thumbs-up vote for a portable, practical and posh WAV MP3 digital audio recorder!

Summary: Handy and versatile
Comment: The balance of portability and quality is fantastic. The menu interface is reasonably intuitive and sufficiently user friendly given the small profile. It's very nice being able to capture spontaneous ideas with minimal overhead.
