i have been given a nice Fostex E16 and would like some advice on a suitable mixer. I have in mind the soundcraft 16 fxII. My main reason is that it seems ideal for the home studio with regards to space and the ability to take all the ins and outs of the Fostex (32) without re patching cables...

Thanks for that arcaxis..........I definitely have the 80GB version as opposed to the 40 GB version. It was a later version sold by Boss and the one I bought. Gonna study that manual a bit more I think. I was unaware of hard drive partitions. There's less than an hours worth of recorded tracks...

I have a fostex 160. Lovely condition. Plugged a squire strat dry into the mic input on channel 3 and recorded to 4 separate tracks. When playing back, only channel 3 fader controls the volume of ALL 4 tracks (?) should I use different channels for each track to allow separation? I thought the...

Thanks mjb.....already been through the song optimisation and carried out the commands. But like I said, theres no way I have recorded 80GB of material or imported it. Will run through it again and post results

interesting point arcaxis......similar problem. I have a feeling the HDD's are not as large a memory as the sales pitches told us!!

Thanks.....already done that. Theres no way I've recorded 80GB of data in all the time I,ve had it anyway

A question for technos to hope fully explain to me I have the 80GB version of the Boss BR1600 and have imported 8 blues backing tracks onto the Hard drive. There are other songs and demo songs varying in memory from 50Mb to 60MB with the demo songs between 300 to 350MB In total it equates...

My fostex 260 accepts signals from my line6 pod xt, monitored through the headphone jack and with led meters working fine to show level of incoming signal. However when attempting to record by selecting appropriate track and pressing record and play, the machine is not recording! The tape heads...

I've just got hold of a fostex 280 and when switching on it makes a rather loud humming noise when a cassette is inserted.. I inserted a cassette (chrome type II as recommended) to test the tape transport functions. The rewind was extremely slow even with high speed switch selected. And when...

I would try and get hold of a Boss BR1600. Can be a bit daunting at first but read and make sure it comes with the manual! Even cheaper and great introduction is the Boss BR8..........some great looking deals on ebay!

Hi Pepe. You won't go far wrong listening to the advice from JDOD. He's quite right. Its all about tweak and placement and readjust and importantly....listen. Don't be quick to dis your amp just because its a solid state. There are clever engineers out there that can make it sing. Perseverance...

Many thanks Rob I appreciate you sharing your experience with me. Especially confirming the better quality mic preamps on the GB4. Space is obviously a consideration but getting rid of two 1000 cc motorcycles will make more than enough room for the GB4!! I think you miay have sold me along that...

Converting a garage into a recording studio is an upcoming project..... I have the opportunity to acquire either a Soundcraft GB4 40 channel or a Soundcraft LX7 ii 32 channel. I know the GB 4 is predominantly a live/FOH mixer but looking to pick experienced opinions on which choice to make of...

Thanks mjb. This now makes sense. Much obliged.

Hi.....can anyone tell me how to record from a line 6 spider jam into a boss br1600? There are 2 rca outs on the back of the spider for recording. I took these into 2 to 1 type cable and connected into the guitar input of the Boss....what a shit sound!!What am I doing wrong? When I tried the mic...
