Terfyn! A question! Is it worth getting these multitrackers with the built in cd burner? I am thinking it would cut down at lot of time and bother for me getting one of those but is it actually worthwhile in reality?

Thanks! Just registered!

I am considering buying the Fostex MR8HDCD and would really appreciate some advice on this piece of equipment eg pros and cons of buying it. I had the old Fostex MR8 and was really pissed off with all the problems with the memory card. Anyway, your adice would be sincerly appreciated ElectricDread

I am going to buy an Oktava MC 219 later this month and I am looking around for a pre amp to use with it. I was in a little music store today and saw a Gemini pmx 7 pre amp. Looks like a little dj mixer. The person there did not know too much about it. Does anyone her know if it has phantom...

Thanks Waitingroom. I am beginning to understand. I am gonna try and take a look at some mics tomorrow. I will also see about using my small mixer along with the Fostex and seeing what tones I can get WITH THE NEW MIC of course! Thanks again.

Thanks for your input dave, can you please explain to me what a pre amp is, what it is used for and suggest a few models that will not tear a hole in my MEAGER budget but will still give me some sort of quality (if those exist!). I have a small 60 watt mixer amplifier, which I have been using...

I guess the long and short is for me to buy a decent microphone. Thanks for your help!

Not TOO loud. But I can hear it over the headphones, so maybe it is a little on the loud side. The trim setting is at '3 o' clock' on the clock face, there are no numbers on the fostex mr-8 there. Do you have some advise for me? The guitar tones really sound like crap. Harsh,scratchy, like sand...

Well there are no numbers, but I would say its at *3 o' clock* on a clock face. Too high?

Ok.SORRY......be gentle please.....I know very little about doing home recordings and even less about mics! Ok, it is a Realistic Highball dynamic microphone unidirectional.

This is my first time doing home recordings so please bare with me. I am trying to record my song with the fostex mr-8. I am using the zoom mrt-3 drum machine. The drum machine sounds great, but the guitar are REAL LOW. On the track level display the drum machine is showing twice as much as the...

Thanks for the help. Question.........trying to download the wav manager, but my pc keeps trying to open it with the 'Imaging' program, and therefore cannot get it open, how can solve this? Help!

Where do I get this wave manager from?

Please forgive me if this post seems really silly and basic, but I have little to no experience in recording. I have been playing guitar for 15 years. I have decided to do my own album at home. I have recently ordered a fostex mr-8. I have been reading on this board about the numerous problems...
