Edirol compact R-44 gives you true four track recording but in a more compact form - that's if you were used to the more chunky R-4. The R-44, makes the current version of the OS to V 1.05 and enables users to add effects in Pre Record mode, and also includes updates for the BWF (Broadcast Wave File) marker format, notable with previously recorded data. Other improvements include quicker shutdown times in some modes with SD cards, and a smoother overall workflow helped by minor bug fixes.
