hi!
I recently acquired a Fostex model 80 reel to reel and a boss 8 track mixer. I've just started to play with them, recording guitars, vocals etc. The mixer has 8 inputs but only L and R stereo outputs, which I can connect with the 'high definition recording snake' to the back of the fostex. I was hoping for some advice on how best to deal with this - say I have 2 inputs into the mixer, is there a way I can send them to individual tracks on the 8-track? will panning work? what is the best way to deal with having more inputs, e.g. 4, and sending them to the tape? should I send them to two tracks, or is there something else I can do? I'd appreciate any tips greatly.
also, it seems that when I record through the mixer e.g. to track 3, when I try to listen to just that one back (through the mixer) I can hear the other 2 tracks along with track 3. am I doing something stupid?
thank you very much and have a nice day!
Henry
