Guitarfxr, I had jumped in and installed the 1.10 update before reading your posts. I hadn't used the recorder after installing the update, but thought I should try things out after reading about your experience. New recordings sure sounded noisier, but old recordings sounded fine (both playing back on the DR-1). I started looking thru all the menus to make sure things were set up like I had them before updating and found the VSA function turned back on. I also noticed that the Monitor function was on all the time even though the menu clearly showed it as off. So I figured what the heck I'll turn it on. Sure enough it stayed on, but when I turned it back off the monitor function turned off. A similar thing happened with the gain settings (hi, med, lo). Bottom line, on my unit it appears the values the unit was using after updating the firmware were different than what the menus were indicating, but changing the values in the menus then setting them back seemed to "re-synchronize" the units operating parameters with the menus. Maybe this was just my unit, or maybe I'm full of poop, but you might look into it and see what you come up with. By the way, thanks for the review and all the posts. This is the most active and complete forum I've found for the DR-1 to date. Cheers, FretBuzz
