Default Zoom H4 digital recorder?

Steve,

I think perhaps you should get your act together here and take a look at the
comparisons on the Swee****er Sound website. I can from that show you where
there are several areas the R9 is not up to the Zoom H4 level, and that is
from a company that sells most of the competitors as well. Wake up and smell
the roses, and quit rationalizing.

Another option in same pricerange is edirol r-09.


It seems that R-09 can record some click during recording levels
setting...

Cite your sources, because I have an Edirol R-09 and don't have any
problems. It's smaller than the H4, easier to use, and the build
quality (made in Japan by Roland) is superior.

Roland/Edirol vs Samson/Zoom. Quality vs cheap.

The R-09 is easier to use because you hit the dedicated record button
twice to record. Once to put it in record mode where you set levels,
and the 2nd time to record.

The H4 has sloppy feeling buttons that have multiple uses, where if you
want to have it record, you have to make sure that pushed button is in
record mode.

There were lots of threads where the H4 had the clicking problem.
I'm in all the recording forums, where people post about both of these
units, and it's clear the R-09 is preferred. The only people who say
the H4 is better, are the people who are defending their $100 savings in
purchasing the H4 over the R-09. If they were the same price, I doubt
anyone would buy the H4 over the R-09. If the $100 price difference is
important, the H4 is better than anything else at it's price.

I'd still buy it over a minidisc.

Again, tell me where you read the Edirol R-09 had a clicking problem?
