n-tracks question

[Bigsnake00]

Well Im fed up with my current multitracking software and am ready for something different. Is n-track the way to go? It looks pretty bullet proof and has a great price. I guess what Im asking is how easy is the importation of tracks from the mr-8?

(I dont need the more expensive 24-bit version for use with the mr-8 do I?)

N-track is excellent in my book. It does not do so good with a slow computer. It would not work on my old computer P2 366mhz 64mb RAM. But with my new one it works like a charm. I think that somewhere the digital recording god looked down and said I am going to make an easy to use digital recorder and some easy to use cheap multi-tracker software to use it with. The result: Fostex MR-8 and N-track.

Piece of cake! I went through cubasis and cakewalk before I finally went to n-track, it's almost as if it were made for the MR8.

you think 128 megs p3 500mhz will do?

[bdbdbuck]

The manual says 486 dx2-66 pentium or better recommended.
16 mb ram
full duplex soundcard
windows 9x,2000 or NT ( I have XP )


should work.

I'd say it would. I'm running a 1.7ghz celeron w/256mb DDR RAM. I think what puts a load on the cpu usage is effects. Don't depend on what I say though. I'm still pretty much of a newbie to this.

Ask this question on the n-track forum here and go to the forum at www.fasoft.com and ask there. At fasoft you will get an answer in minutes.

My old computer would lock up whenever I tried to do anything with n-track. Even trying to load one wav file?

Bigsnake, you'll be fine with n-track. It really is an incredible deal and is especially good with slower machines. That is one of the reasons it is so popular. A lot of software that is five times the price of n-track doesn't get as good reviews, and they need much more sophisticated machines to run on as well.
I am using it with a P2 350 MHz and 128 ram. I have my problems if I use too many plugin with too many tracks, but if I am careful I can do most of what I want. I plan to put in more ram and see if that improves the situation. But right now I'm happy with what I am achieving. You cant go wrong at 45 bucks.

I just love it when I screw up the quote like that.
