10 Minute Acoustic Jam Via Rowland Digital Recorder

[User211]

I connected my Rowland R-09HR digital recorder to my system last night.

I haven't used it for ages - this was recorded a few years ago. This was a £250 digital recorder - portable and small.

What strikes me is the SQ is really pretty damned good. There's no processing here just a raw 44.1KHz 16 bit recording. Given that the h/w is cheap compared to studio standards, and I am just using the internal mics, it does make you wonder what happens in the studio sometimes.

I thought I'd share it - feel free to hear me making a mess - and I mean a mess - of the Strangler's Sometimes. Keeping it real. Of course I have it licked now The rest of it isn't too bad.

You should end up with a 102MB uncompressed WAV file. Don't worry about viruses - it is a .WAV after all.

Play loud

Download removed. I've decided against the wisdom of inflicting this on other people. Seemed like a good idea at the time

Rare, unobtanium, unauthorised bootleg versions will no doubt not appear

Ahrrr, I did actually download it, but my Linux based machine hadn't got anything that would play it

Really? It is just a .WAV. Hope it is nothing as stupid as case sensitivity, Linux being what it is?

The 'Hear Comes The Sun' is just about OK but you have to waste 6-7 odd minutes of your life for that unless you know it is there... or the bastardisation of The Cult's "She Sells Santuary" riff that's earlier fares better than Sometimes.

Hugh Cornwell - very good guitar player IMHO.

I just remembered .wav is a Microsoft format, which is why you can't play it I suspect. I haven't looked but there must be something out there you can download that will play the format on Linux (for future reference).

Every linux distro I've ever used supports .wav out of the box, many of them even preview the file if you hold the mouse over it (depending what desktop you're using).

Failing that a quick apt-get install vlc will do the job

(it's probably not the .WAV as file extensions are a windows thing so linux doesn't parse them, although it is case sensitive)

Well there you go, I'd never clocked it was non-free
