Thanks micmac. How do I reintroduce my backed up programs to the VF08, if I later want to make changes? On the basis that when completing the song I deleted it to make space on the HD. Jonboy

Sure thing micmac. Should add (for other interested parties) that from experience the presets (eq, comp and ambience) in mastering mode are set a bit wild. Presumably to deliberately over emphasise the type of sound. I strongly recommend tweaking each parameter to get the sound you want.

Cheers blackbuck! Presumably when u talk about back-up in your earlier post - u mean data back-up to CD??? or computer??? Jonboy

Thanks micmac! Crystal clear. I know that I must eq and effect each track before doing the bounce and also any mixing that may be required as well. Jonboy

Thanks guys! Next question then - what provides the better quality...Optical or S/P-DIF connections...or is the quality the same? I've ordered the burner and am getting an optical cable with it. Jonboy

When I bounce say three tracks to Track 7/8 and then do a track exchange so I can continue to multitrack it seems I have to exchange the bounced track (7/8) with two tracks. If I only track exchange with one track I lose half the sound. I hope this makes sense. In other words is it the case that...

Apologies to those who have tried to help with this question before! (particularly bbbmusic). I just haven't grasped the concept guys! Anyway here goes.... I have recently invested in a VF08 Digital Multitracker and want to master to a Philips CDR775 (I can't afford the Fostex burner at the...

AKG C3000B or Octava MC319? Guys, What are you doing to me? Following the principle that you have nothing bad to say about the AKG C3000B but you have conflicting views on the Octava, it seems the AKG is the way to go. Unless of course you know of someone who is selling Neuman's for £10.00...

Cheers Track Rat. Will look into the AT-4033 Jonboy

AKG C3000B or Octava MC319? Yeah Trackrat, I've read a lot of the postings, and unfortunately I'm no more the wiser. We don't, to the best of my knowledge, have a 'Sound Room' outlet in the UK. (Import costs are prohibitive!) so I'm not sure where to turn there. Basically on a straight...

Which should I go for....the AKG C3000B or Octava MC319??? Help Please. The Octava is cheaper but is it as good? Jonboy

Many thanks to sleep and bbbmusic. Sleep - the CR300 - who makes it? bbbmusic - I know of the Philips machine, and this might sound silly - but the low price kinda put me off. Its definitely within my budget but is it a good machine? I've also had a recommendation on the Tascam CD-RW700 which...

Strato, A simpler use is.....when you've got a voice like Jabba the Hut (ie me!) a little varipitch can help after everything else is recorded of course. Also varipitching makes it a bugger for others to pick up their guitar (tuned to concert pitch) and play along with your classic material. Am...

Can anyone recommend a good CD writer for mastering to? One preferably that can connect via S/P DIF DATA INPUT and OUTPUT connectors of the Fostex VF-08. Problem is budget - I don't have a lot of money to spend. Thanks in anticipation. John Corcoran

Thanks Green Hornet, You're talking to a Scotsman who doesn't like whisky!!!! But I do know that Laphroig is an exceptional nip as we say in these parts. Re: your advice. Thanks for the tip. The bottom line is if I have to, I'll buy separates. It was just a thought. Maybe some of those nice...
