Hi all, I would liketo be able to make decent field recordings during band rehearsal. I would like to have something small, cheap, and accurate so I can record for myself to do practice and improvising at a later time. I would also like to be able to upload the data to my PC and burn CD's for...

And as you migh guess, they are not all that red-hot. Not bad for the price, but definitely a step below the consumer-level Altec Lansing system that I use for casual listening on my PC. In all fairness the Altec system does have two tweeter elements and a heavy sub so it has a real advantage...

Okay, I have read the great thread for card compatibility for the MR-8 but it is getting soooo long. And since it has been going so long it has, by nature, become sort of out of date too. So my question is, where are good deals on MR-8 compatible CF cards right now? I found this one, is it...

So, now I have a cheap but fancy scmancy MR-8 recorder and I am finding all about how well that works for live, in-the-field, recording. Did you know that after "punching in" with the foot pedal and then "punching out" you have to dash over to the MR-8 and mess with it before you can begin...

I know this sounds a little backward, but is there an easy way to convert MP3's to the standard CD audio format so an older CD player can play them? Will Nero or AudioGrabber do this? Thanks. Rudy2

I know, I know, these speakers are not likely to be very outstanding but I need an inexpensive pair of powered speakers to drag around with my MR-8 for field recording. Since the speakers will be packed up and knocked around, I was wondering about the new Behringer MS16? They are bi-amplified...

Howdy all, I looked at the MR-8 8051 pedal function, and while it might be useful to some, it doesn't seem to do what I want. The description says it is used to "punch in and punch out", which evidentally means to either start playback or start recording. What I want is a pedal that simply...

Howdy all, Yes, I know this is a double-post, but there are some questions that make it hard to target a specific group, so I feel justified in doing this. Send me a pm if you don't agree. I need an inexpensive (and portable) powered speaker system to monitor playback of my Fostek MR-8 so...

Howdy all, I need an inexpensive powered (and portable) speaker system to monitor playback of my Fostek MR-8 so everyone in my ensemble can immediately hear the results. Has anyone tried the Edirol MA5A? Any other recommendatons? Thanks. Rudy2

Howdy all, I have been doing some live recording of an acoustic folk group with my new MR-8. I am using two Nady SP-1 mics positioned about 7 feet away from the seven piece ensemble and arrayed about 60 degrees to one another. What I have found is the mics are very detailed and pic up the...

Howdy all, I have been experimenting with recording my silver flute using a Nady SP-1 mic and a Fostex MR-8 dig recorder. What I find is that the SP-1 is extremely detailed and picks up my breath noise as well as any other noise I may make when I swallow or smack my lips. The extra noises...

Howdy all, I have downloaded some shareware for audio editing and have had no luck bringing in any audio files for editing. What I have so far is: GoldWave, n-Track Studio, AudioGrabber, and Nero for CD burning. We made a demo of our group using a portable Mini-Disc recorder and my friend...

Howdy all, I set up my new eBay scored MR-8 and tried recording for the first time. I was doing a comparison between the Nady SP-1 and SP-5 mic by playing the same tune over and over using my silver flute. What I started noticing was a strange background noise when the MR-8 was in record...

Could someone please recommend some freeware for sound editing? I am strapped for cash and besides would benefit from gaining some skill with editing software before I buy a more professional version. I use an AMD XP2100 running Win2000. Thanks. Rudy2

Hi all, I suppose everyone is snickering as mic stands and XLR cables are such basic items. I bought six Nady SP5 mics and now discover that a cable costs as much as three mics! Anyway, if you have a surplus of useable cable and boom stands let me know. I am on a reeel tight budget. Rudy2

Howdy all, I posted this question to the newbie group but did not get much help there so please do not flame me for trying again. I just bought a used MR-8 and want to start recording right away. I also bought two Nady Starpower1 mics and stands so I should have the bare bones of a recording...

Hi all, I soon will have my new/used MR-8 and want to get going with it immediately. I have also ordered two cheapo Nady Starpower mics and stands to get started with. I will be recording an acoustic instrumental group. Fiddles, pump organ, and upright bass (me). No drums or electronic...

Hi all, I just bought a used MR-8 on eBay and will have it in my hot little hands soon. I am totally new to digital recording so I know it will be a great learning tool. I am wondering how to easily get portable audio playback out of this unit that a group of people can hear. I see that the...

Howdy all, I just made the break and bought a used MR-8 off of eBay and am now collecting other stuff so I can get started in a small way. I also bought two Musician's Friend ceapo mic stands and Nady Star-whatever mics so I can begin recording. I have other uses for the mics as well (plug...
