Try this... it's not for the MKII model, but it's something. And cheap. :) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=906995363

You might try browsing eBay, you never know if someone might have one. Other than that, you might have to contact the company. Mine came with a manual, and thank God too, because it's probably the least intuitive machine I've ever used. I figured out my Roland workstation a LOT faster. But...

Hey man, I'm impressed! Very well done, I thought. And the songs are great, too. I like "Nextime" a hell of a lot. Great sounding stuff, man.

Thanks Tex, I'll give it a shot. I always have more success playing with things than reading manuals anyways... :D

Bump?

First of all, I know NOTHING about midi. Here's what I want to acheive: I've got a very simple drum track all programmed into the Boss, which I plan to use as a scratch track while recording other stuff on the Roland. I would then like to be able to go back and rework the drum track on the...

Thank God they took a chance on Norah, though. I think the whole album is tremendously impressive. I certainly wish more labels would take that cue, and actually start putting out really good music, as subjective as that actually is. Oh well, what can ya do...

I concur, Elixir strings have taken care of the problem for me. They're not as expensive as they once were, and they last longer too. I use them on my acoustics and my electrics. I don't know if they make bass strings, but I might look into it... I swear by them. Check 'em out!

Re: "SCREEEEAAAACHH" Exactly right, Jim, I use nothing but Elixir's on my acoustic. I play a Jasmine A/E cutaway (which is a cheap sub-line of Takamine), and not only is string-squeak no problem at all, it feels much better to play in general, and those strings sound like a mutha! Really, my...

Sounds like mixing trouble to me... the whole thing depends on what you're using to mix by... monitors? headphone? I've been told numerous times that, while tracking with headphones is often necessary, mixing with them is against some unwritten mixing law. So tell us how you mixed it and we...

This is true... so it's not so bad. How's the sound quality, compared to any other digital recorders you may have heard/used? I've also started looking at some of the Korg units, but I'm flying blind here. Thanks for all your help, dood. :)

It just hit me what one of the major differences is: the FD-8 doesn't have it's own hard disk, I would need a SCSI drive to add to it to make it work. The VF-08 does have an internal hard disk included. I guess that would make a difference. The problem now is, I don't want to have to buy...

Upgrading from Tascam 424, feeling ballsy enough to plunge headlong into the digital world. I've decided between these two units, but don't know much about any Fostex gear at all. Anyone have any opinions?

Desperately seeking a manual (preferably PDF format) for my Tascam 424. This is not an MK model, and it's probably 6 or 7 years old. If anyone can help me with this, I'll be your friend forever! Pinky swear! LOL
