RE: RC-50 glitch and LR levels



I don't have the L/R level issue, but I find the glitching to make the unit
pretty much unusable.  My biggest disappointment was first finding out that
there was an option to go directly from record to overdub mode (like on the
DL-4), and then finding out that, using this option, there was a 1-2 full
second gap of unrecorded audio left at the end of the initial loop.  Why
even include a feature like that if it's not implemented properly?  What 
use
could you possibly get out of going straight from record to overdub mode if
the transition is not seamless?  I sincerely hope that these issues will be
addressed in a software update in the immediate future.  If the glitching 
is
solved, and phrase feedback is added, the RC-50 would be perfect IMO.

I think the levels have to be some sort of hardware issue.  As for the
glitch, I hear it every time.  It's maddening.
