Bob Dylan-If not just for "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll.....that song gets me everytime. Greg Brown-A verse from "The Poet Game": "I had a friend who drank too much and played too much guitar - and we sure got along. Reel-to-reels rolled across the country near and far...

Camille West (now with the Four Bitchin' Babes) gets my vote... With songs like "The Nervous Wreck of Edna Fitzgerald", "Viagra in the Water" and "Toe To Toe With the HMO" Here are some of her songs in Lyric form (beware of the pop-ups though)...

From what I've experienced, the only time I've had any problems is when I use the "Audio" CD-Rs. I've flipped so many of those into garbage that I've started just buying the cheapies and the fallibilty ratio to the price makes em worth it. For stuff I wanna keep I do make a back-up copy...

I'm reporting this from under a rock.... I looked in the olde user manual and lo and behold, yes, the Fostex has an EQ as well as a range of effects. Well, that saves me on EQ, many, many thanks... Now I gotta learn about preamps though. :o)

I'm using a Fostex VF80 for recording (I'm very much a newbie and just stepping up from completely dry recording on a 4 track tape deck and recording in a kitchen or a closet were what created the sonic changes, sad, ain't it). Right now, it's just me, a mike, an amp, some cables and 19...

I really appreciate all the responses. So something like this will create the effect? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030811092936170202226020322109/g=home/search/detail/base_id/103746 Many thanks! Stpauler

There's a song by Rilo Kiley called "The Good that Won't Come out" that uses an effect on the vocals that reminds me a bit of a telephone. Here's a link to where you can hear a clip on Amazon.com, It's the first song (...

Well, MD, I just got one two days ago. I haven't found many reviews or had a chance to even play with it yet. I've been, however, reading the manual with a furrowed brow the whole time though. It's very very unfriendly, unless, maybe, you know how the VF80 works, then maybe it would make sense...

Whatever happened to the Fostex BBS? Every time I try to go there I get an Ikonboard error. I just ordered an 80 and know it's gonna be problematic. :P

I've been looking all over Tascam for an answer but no luck so far. I just want to record some stuff on the 788, plug a SCSI or USB cable to the 788 and to my puter and burn the song onto a CD (no mastering or fiddlin' around with it, just doing it as dry as the Sahara). (If that's not possible...

Newbie to digital recording here. Basic facts. I've got a cassette based Tascam 4 track from the late eighties. Eep. I play acoustic guitars (most have plug ins), mandolin, dulcimer, accordion, electric bass, keys, bongos and harmonica. I've got a standard mic that's got some good sound. What I...
