Damn ... feck ... sh**e ...

I JUST got my rh-10 (strictly for sampling purposes) and then MAudio announce this ...

New MAudio recorder

The rh-10 is OK for my purposes except downloading linear PCM from the device is S-L-O-W !!! I was under the impression that I could just drag and drop from windows explorer and over USB it would be reasonably quick. I couldn't believe it when I saw that the amount of time to transfer to the PC as as long as the actual recording. Ahh well, it will do in the short-term.

Obviously no one's there to see how slow it is for you, but for PCM it isn't expected to be fast. It'll be faster with smaller files - ie, atrac recordings, particularly hi-lp. You must remember PCM recordings are large, and the HiMD magneto-optical discs aren't fast.
