Easy Recording You Can Take Anywhere!

The easy-to-use recorder with unbelievable sound quality! The Roland R-05 keeps finding its way into the hands of countless musicians, lesson-takers, students, journalists... the list goes on. Why? It's one of the most straight-forward handheld recorders available. Just point and shoot and you'll be greeted with recordings that sound incredibly clean and clear - just the way you want them to. This is the fastest and easiest way to capture band practice or your next gig. You'll also love using it to leave yourself a memo in the car or to snag a quick song idea before you lose the inspiration. The Roland R-05 is your instant idea-capturer, with a bunch of cool extras too. What kind of extras are we talking about? Well, before we go there, we'll tell you first that the Roland R-05 has a built-in stereo microphone. Or, you can plug in your own piece of gear into the external input. Everything records directly to a handy SD card with awesome battery life too - 30+ hours of playback, 16+ hours of continuous recording. You need to know all of that. But Roland decided to go all-out with the R-05 and give it a stash of neat bonus features that you'll appreciate. If you load it with WAV and MP3 files, for example, you can use the music-practice features to change tempo without changing pitch, loop playback, etc. It's a great way to practice a tricky solo. (And, by the way, the R-05 does work as a regular MP3/WAV player.)

What else? The pre-record function can definitely save you headaches. Imagine hitting the "record" button as fast as possible, only to realize you actually missed the first note of the concert. Stinks, right? But with the Roland R-05's cool Pre Record function, you'll be covered. It captures the two seconds of audio that PRECEDES pressing Record. It's very slick. The R-05 also has Auto Record Start, Auto Song Split, and Auto Level Adjust features. P.S., you get a windscreen and a tripod mount included.
