Does anybody here use this system or have experience with it? Thought I'd try this forum too, since it's a Roland product. I need 8 simultaneous ins, and a mixing interface with real faders. I'm new to PC recording and trying to put together my first set-up. Looking for something similar to...

I've been doing a lot of research trying to decide how to set up my PC-based studio (for less than $2000 including the price of a new computer.) The primary features I need are at least 8 simultaneous ins for recording drums and/or with a live band. And I want to be able to mix using real...

I need to know if it is possible, and HOW to hook up a set of non-powered Bose speakers to a PC. The new computer I'm getting doesn't include speakers, and I'd prefer to wait 'til the budget allows to buy decent powered monitors, and use what I have in the meantime. I already own a Peavey 4...

I have never recorded directly onto my PC before. I've used either a PortaStudio or MR8 and then dumped WAVs onto the computer. I want to experiment with going direct to the PC. So, here's my question: Can I simply use my lo-Z to Hi-Z adapter and then a 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch adapter to be...

My MR-8 came with OS v1.05 . (I'm honestly not sure what that means exactly) Is there any reason why I should upgrade to v1.10? I don't want to do any unnecessary tech stuff (and risk messing something up) that I don't have to , but if there are advantages, I'd like to know what they are...

I would like to hear different people's opinions on stand alone DAW's compared to PC based recording systems. Anyone willing to share opinions, ideas, experience?? I'm currently trying to decide which kind of system to invest in. My primary goals are to be able to record acoustic drums and/or a...

OK, I'm a real newbie to digital recording and have been recently experimenting with the Fostex MR-8. It is a very cool little machine and it's really got a lot of great features. However, I am quickly discovering that my ultimate recording goals (which include tracking acoustic drums) will be...

Hey everybody, I'm relatively new to the Homerecording.com boards, and have just recently checked out this TASCAM forum. I've been posting mostly on the Fostex users forum, since I just got an MR-8 and am trying hard to embrace the concept of "going digital". It's really nice to read the...

Hi, I'm currently researching specs for a new computer for sound recording. I am new to all aspects of digital recording , but have a good background with multi-track cassette recording. I want the flexibility to incorporate midi and and electonic devices, but my main goal is to be able to...

I was checking out the DIY portion of this site, and was excited to find something about turning 4-track cassette into 8-track digital, unfortunately, the page that it is linked to doesn't work! Please if anybody can provide info about this procedure, I would be very appreciative. I have a...

Is there a way to use tracks 5/6 and 7/8 as if they are separate tracks like 1-4, so that when mixing down they can be controlled individually? Or is the only way to use more than four tracks by bouncing before the final mix? If you cannot do this, then the MR-8 is just the same as a basic four...

I posted this to the Yahoo MR-8 forum also ( Anybody interested in that group can go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MR8/) Sorry if it's redundant, but I'm hoping to get an answer to the following questions: So, let's say I have a rhythm guitar part on track 1, and I'm recording a vocal on...

Hi, Hoping someone can help! I'm trying to connect my new MR-8 to my PC for the first time. Operating system is Windows XP, and the USB cable I'm employing functions with other devices. I have the MR-8 in the USB Mode and have followed all directions in the manual. Upon connecting the USB cable...
