Roland R-09 Portable Recorder

The rise of cheap, good audio gear has made it harder and harder to figure out where consumer gear ends and the pro stuff begins. Take this wee recorder, for example. It has a 44.1- or 48kHz sample rate, 24-bit resolution, a stereo mic, and records MP3s and WAVs. There's even gain and filters on this thing and a very busy front LCD. Overall, this won't cut it for super-pro recording, but it definitely looks like a great interview recorder or even for grabbing live music. It's $399 and should be available soon. More »

Superstar VJ, Here We Go

Superstar VJs: now you can mix video on your laptop without looking quite so nerdy, thanks to the Darth Vader-black Edirol MD-P1 video controller. Combined with the Mac/Windows motion dive .tokyo software (screenshot after the break), jamming with video and even Flash animations is simple, and the buttons and cross-fader feel terrific and are thoughtfully laid out. If you want to make your audience trip out while you're playing your keyboards, either manually assign MIDI or use the automatic assignments for many Roland and Edirol keyboards. It's not HD, but you might at least get it up to (cough) 640x480 on a fast computer. $500, shipping this month. More »
