Hi Ray,

To say the PTR2 matches the Edirol in any way is pure silliness.  The PTR
can't record in straight wave, it has too many moving parts, and is just too
darned bulky.  Good for recording Daisy, but I wouldn't use it for location
recording.  The appeal of the Edirol is that you can just pull it out of
your pocket, and capture sound.  There are very few devices that let you
capture sound with reasonable quality, without having wires everywhere.

All the best

Steve I base what I've said about the Edirol r09 on one or two comments on
an audio list and on the pictures I've seen which, as well as conveying the
smaller size, seem to show fewer buttons in evidence.  All the buttons
associated with play, reviewing and record have been grouped into a sort of
square with the record button, as far as I can see, in the middle of them
all.

There are some thoughts and discussion at:

//www.freelists.org/archives/blindcooltech/01-2006/msg01077.html

Given the R09 is half the size of the R1 its obviously much more a hand held
machine.  Some of the publicity I've seen is donwright daft.  Inviting
broadcast jornos to throw away their cassette machines - as if most wouldn't
hav e done that some time ago!

One technical change is support for 48Khz .wav recording which I suppose
might count a little in professional environments, but not very much, I'd
have thought.  It is certainly good if the limiter has been given its own
switch on the unit.

I have to say that, being a bit of a perfectionisdt, I'd tend to use a mic
pre-amp for really serious recording going into the line socket.  I have one
or two bits of gear that overcome the problem of connecting XLR connected
micsup to help with this.

I think that as a sketch pad and interview recorder, as well as recording
lectures, the R1 is a good buy.  the only thing in the access world to match
this is the Plexter PTR2 which, as well as being a card recorder, is a CD
recorder too.  It does cost rather more though.

Hi Ray,
To be honest, I know nothing about the functionality of the R-9, but I will
get my hands on one one day.  Are you saying it is more menu driven?  What
brings you to that conclusion?  I was able to learn the R-1's menus from the
excellent PDF manual, so if the R-9 has the same type of manual, it should
be do-able, though maybe not easy.
All the best
