Re: [microsound] advice on recording devices?

[trommer@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

i also use the r-09.

pretty good value for the money. one thing that i like about it is the very 
quick start-up time...if you're like me and tend to do a lot of spontaneous 
recording, it starts to really count for something (i've been able to catch 
much more useful material with the edirol than with my old minidisc recorder 
for this reason). another thing to consider is whether or not the unit has a 
proprietary battery (e.g. the microtrack). in my case, i like to be able to 
pop in a fresh set of AAs and continue recording...the alternative is a 
lengthy recharge before you can carry on.
