How does Rep (as in rep points) actually work. I think someone sent me neg rep but I can't tell who it was or why.... :confused: :confused: :confused:

I am part of a music duo and there was a cover song that we really wanted to do. But it was complicated.... a lead guitar comes in first, then the acoustics guitars join in after several bars. We decided not to use the drum machine as the timing got horrendous. The trouble was laying the guitar...

Hi Folks, So far I have had 20 people download the song from my website but I haven't got any feedback at all - is it really that bad? Before I go and top myself, I 'll post the lyrics and the website one more time and see if I can get a reaction! The Website is www.bugeikan.com/nick I'd...

Hi All, I have an MR8 and a Boss effects pedal unit. I can record quite happily with no problems. However, I also use a laptop to bounce tracks down to etc. As soon as I plug the power cable into the laptop, my guitar effects unit starts to buzz in my headphones. I use an extension cord to...

Welcome any feedback! This song was recorded about a year ago just when I was getting the hang of the Fostex MR8. I will get rid of the "scratchy" intro but people that I have played this to seem to enjoy it. I would like to get some impartial feedback, so all feedback gratefully received...

I find it very difficult to critique lyrics posted here unless I can hear them in the context of a song (and I have trouble downloading people's songs at work!). This is one reason why I haven't posted my own because they were written with the music if you see what I mean. The music sounds as...

Hi Folks, I recorded a cover song but I had to make a guess at some of the chord changes as my singer wasn't around and I didn't have the correct music. I mixed it all down to tracks 7/8 and then took backups on to a PC. I then copied track 7/8 to 5/6 so I have all the music on 5/6 leaving...

The music I play is usually acoustic based with bass, electric guitar backing with a singer & some harmonies on occasion. As the Mr8 only has 2 inputs (and I like to record in stereo) the recording is always overdubbed and the tracks bounced around like rubber balls. Timing used to be a problem...

Any opinions as to which one is best or which one is the best value for money? I love my MR8 but I am struggling with some of the annoying limitations and reckon this will be solved by going to a 16 track multitracker. What do you reckon? Nick

There is one things that annoys me slightly about the MR-8. I use the MR-8 for mixes and not a PC (although I intend to do that when I have more equipment). I do have a laptop and I use this a lot. I bounce and mix tracks 1 -6 to track 7/8 and then copy the mixed 6 tracks to the laptop and...

I often use a drum machine (as I can't play drums) when I record. Sometimes, I plan out the length of the song in terms of bars and I lay the drum track down and start recording the music over the drum track. The singer comes along and we decide, for example, to shorten the song using the...

The other night, I put down what I considered was a good song. I took me ages to get the guitar parts right but I eventually did. I then set about writing lyrics aided by a refreshing New Zealand beer. Anyway, the wife was out at her works Christmas do and when she came back she felt like...

Here is something I tried last night. I play guitar and bass (+ drum machine) and my friend sings. So we use the MR8 for song writing to a demo standard - so the mixing has to be good but not precise. I laid down a stereo drum track on tracks 5/6 and then laid guitars on tracks 1,2 & 3 with a...

Hi Folks, I have a Fostex MR 8 and a BOSSG3 MuliFX unit. When I plug in my guitar and start recording I get a small but annoying mains hum. I used to get a big hum and this was cured when I switched off my laptop. However, this small hum goes when I put my hand flat on the guitar strings so I...
