The new v2.0 software makes the unit an even more rounded and complete recording package, and includes some great additions for journalists, musicians, songwriters, hobbyist recorders, says the company.
The first big new feature is on-board wave editing. This means that an external computer is no longer needed to edit R-09HR recordings as both Divide and Combine features are included. This adds a level of 'in-the-box' flexibility that will benefit all sorts of users who will now be able to create professional edits on location - wherever they are.
A new chromatic-tuner has also been added with two display modes. This is designed for the many musicians who use the R-09HR to record live performances. Now they can tune up with the R-09HR before they play and record the results, making the R-09HR a one-stop solution for musicians.
Also useful for musicians is the new built-in metronome function. Players can now use an R-09HR while recording to keep in time. And after the recording, it's easily to integrate the resulting tempo-based file with a DAW for further mixing and editing.
A new self-timer function completes the v2.0 additions. This enables the R-09HR to start recording after a predetermined time.
