    Painless import tool?

    There had been some talk of some of the locals writing a painless import tool for the MR8. Any advances in that department lately? I could design a fractal for the skin, if anyone was interested, nothing wrong with a psychedelic sort of program! Any ways, my life would become a great deal less...

    Well, since the car freaks have all their stickers all over every thing...

    It occured to me that I have never seen a Fostex MR 8 sticker, banner, what ever. So, I made one in Cool 3d. This is the jpeg, I can make a very big bmp if need be. Feel free to steal it and use it wherever you see fit, car, website, etc. Resize it, what ever, you don't even have to give me...

    New song finished!

    Just finished recording St. James infirmary blues, and I have a rough mix at: http://www.onlinerock.com/musicians/dyuob/. It's ukulele, guitar and washboard, with vocals, done on the MR 8, no external EQ, a little echo on the voice, a little reverb on the washboard, that's it. No click track...

    Musicians Friend has shipped out some MR 8s

    I know of at least one person In Oklahoma who received his MR 8 yesterday, so some of the back orders are starting to go out, but there is no telling how many they have ordered. When I first contacted them in mid Novemeber, I checked to see how many were coming in to their warehouse to be...

    Handy dandy manual trick

    I don't know if any one else has done this, but if you print out the MR 8 manual, (from the pdf file) and put it in a 3 ring binder, it is actually easier to read than the original manual that comes with the unit. It is a bigger page, some stuff is in color, and the pages lay flat if you need...

    CFC prices dropping?

    Does it seem that the CFC prices are starting to drop, they seem lower than they were 6 weeks ago, and that may mean that the last arguement to not buy one may be going out the window very soon. Of course, I just save the tracks onto my HD anyway, so that was never a problem...But, of course...

    Having MR 8 fun

    I think I'm going to add some tom toms to my version of "Well respected man". It is so....odd sounding. And yet, it works. Ukulele and toms, who'd a thunk... I've spent the day just playing around with different mixes, including some keyboard bass (I'm still trying to convince my wife she...

    Loss of time and a card re format fix for the MR 8

    I noticed I had lost around 4 minutes on the flash card, as everytime I deleted a song and started a new one it said I had just over 20 minutes. I figured the card wasn't bad, but, it may be a little fragemented, (or what ever a CFC does), so I just reformatted it. BINGO!!! got all 24 minutes 2...

    More reasons the MR 8 works for me...

    I was talking to a friend who just built an 8 track work station. He has gone through a couple of mother boards and several HDs to get it set up the way he wants it, is thinking about changing the software and he still isnt very happy. That would have been way too much work for me to get to...

    Ahhhh, yes, you can designate where you import the files from the wav manager, just click a folder in the left hand view. Ok, so it takes me a while to catch on....

    PNY usb Flash Card reader for MR 8

    I found a great usb Flash card reader at best Buy, a PNY for only us$15.00. It works very well with Windows ME. Now I don't have to drag the MR 8 from room to room just to dump the card contents, or load it up! Oh, the Wav Manager works very well with it, it recognises it with no problems!

    I've been editing!

    Since I'm showcasing my ukulele playing on the song I'm recording, and I haven't played guitar much in the last few years, what I did was record 4 guitar sections of the song I'm working on, an intro/regular verse, a verse with a break in it an alternate reg. verse and an ending. then, I added a...

    Ever write a song and a day or 2 later realize you just ripped another song off?

    Last night I was working on a song, when out of nowhere another song hit me, soooo, since i had the mR8 up and running, I wrote a verse and put backing vocals and a guitar part to it as well (I play ukulele as my main instrument). This morning I got up and listened to it and realized I had...

    Starting to get a decent recording with the MR8!

    I just may end up keeping this unit, I've got a decent mic plugged in (EV PL78), and I've been playing with the amp sims, and mic placement as well trim adjustment, and I am starting to get an acceptable recording. I do think I'll get a mic pre amp, though, and keep my gain on the MR8 to a...

    EV pl 78 battery problem

    I've started recording again after a long hiatus. I would like to use my Electro Voice PL 78, but can't seem to find the battery it uses. The last one I bought was an Energizer 523, (4.5v), but that was something like 12 or so years ago. Any suggestions?
