Guide to the
edirol r-09hr
The outstanding
features of the R-09HR
Using the Reverb function to add ambience
Often when recording for CD, a reverb e ect is added to vocals and acoustic instruments. Reverb
is an e ect that adds an aesthetic ambience to a song like one might hear in a concert hall.
The R-09HR has a feature to add a reverb e ect during playback.
This feature is convenient for listening to a recording to hear
how it sounds with reverb applied.
When using the reverb feature, record about 4 inch (10 cm)
from the mic to cut out unnecessary natural ambience. If ambi-
ence is recorded, it will interfere with the reverb and the sound
will become garbled.

Setting

the recording quality

Using for vocal training and checking vocals
Sounds like vocals have subtleties that are best
captured by high sound quality. Since long
recordings are not likely, use 16 bit/44.1 kHz or
better high-quality WAV format.
Keep in mind that if you use the 16 bit/44.1 kHz
WAV format, you won’t need to do any conver-
sions on your PC when using the recording to
make a CD.
Using as a voice memo recorder
If you’re using the R-09HR to record ideas for
songs or melodies, use the MP3 format. The
sound quality is suffi cient to jog your memory
for melodies. Because the data is compressed,
you have the additional bonus of being able to
record for longer periods of time.
See p. 38-39 in the Owner’s Manual for setting
the recording mode.

Precautions

when singing

The R-09HR internal microphone records in ste-
reo, so sound is recorded realistically. However, if
the vocalist’s head moves during the recording,
the sound will move from side to side during
playback.
The playback of such a record-
ing results in minute fl uc-
tuations that don’t sound very
good.
The R-09HR internal mic is
omni-directional, so these
fl uctuations are less noticeable.
Consequently, this caution does
not have to be strictly observed,
but with a little e ort, a steady
recording can easily be made.
Don't move
your head
