Jax, Apparently, having it of power for a day and replacing my rechargeable batteries with fresh alkaline batteries (duracell), makes it works again! I never had this issue with rechargable batteries before, and I'm pretty sure they were fully charged. Thanks again for your response Arnoud

Hi All, I'm in LA for work and have troubles with my Sonosax SX-R4. It doesn't start up after I just disconnected it from my Macbook Pro. It keeps hanging on the initialisation page (see included picture). Is there anything I can do to fix this myself? What could be the cause of the issue? Anyone ever experienced this? In the meantime I'm trying to get a hold of trew audio for support but I guess it's lunchtime. Thanks for any advice. Cheers, Arnoud

I did not yet notice this distortion on the headphone output will keep it in mind when I'm out in the field. Thanks! Arnoud 'challenging the laws of physics' Traa

Hi All, Update: it's not broken! I've checked all my recordings and noticed a pattern in the occurrence of the issue. It turns out that it only happens when I start up the machine and immediately go into record. This is fairly common when I'm walking around an interesting site to listen for nice ambiences. Sometimes I move to a new space and I hear great sound, but the recorder wasn't on anymore. It shuts down after a while, to save batteries. So I boot it up and start recording. That's when it happens.. It's not a great 'feature', but in these situations the record buffer wasn't that long anyway (maybe a half second). This accounts for the short duration of the pitched sound. I had already sent an email to sonosax, no reply as of yet, and will sent them my findings asap. Thanks for your replies! Arnoud

@Mike: you're right, but I also wanted to know if this is a common issue @Richard: Thanks for checking your sxr4 in 96K, eager to find out if you have the same issue! Are you also happy with your recorder? How does the sound compare to the sxm32 (the mixer..) @John: thanks for the tip, I'll be very detailed And I will ask if I can join the beta testers. Thanks for your replies, I'll keep adding info if I get anything. Arnoud

Hi everyone, First of all let me introduce myself. I'm Arnoud Traa a sound designer/recordist from the Netherlands. I've been checking this forum for quite a while, too inform myself about new and older recorders and mic's. Recently I took the plunge and bought a second hand Sonosax SX-R4 to finally have a recorder that allows me to record 4 tracks with nice (really nice) preamps. I've been recording a lot and am very happy with it! But there seems to be a small issue with writing the record buffer in takes. Sometimes it's pitched up for the first few seconds, as if the sample rate has been changed or someting. I've only recorded in 96/24, so I'll check if it also happens in 48/24. But maybe this is common issue with the current firmware 4.2.437 Anyone here who knows what could be the source of this issue? Thanks in advance! Arnoud Traa
