Thanks for taking the time mate...! Dave.

Hmmm seems to be working ok... Try again. Dave. :)

Thumbs up for the band... I like your stuff, you obviously have talent. I think the drums need more balls, but I know how hard it is to record drums (it's a black art, damn it). I'd also like to hear more bass guitar coming through, and a steadier mix on the vocals. But all in all a thumbs...

Ok, I've uploaded my three latest songs: http://www.ashbygrange.freeserve.co.uk/01-ShutMyMouth.mp3 http://www.ashbygrange.freeserve.co.uk/02-Materialistic.mp3 http://www.ashbygrange.freeserve.co.uk/03-Gravity.mp3 The first one is pretty much my typical hard rock self, the second has a nu-punk...

Hard Drive Probs...? I don't know anything about the FD8, but the Hard Disk died in my VF160 the other week and it all started with the recordings skipping. I would try a reformat. On the VF160 it tells you how many Good/Bad Sectors there as it reformats, I had 1 good and loads of bad...

Gosh, this thread's suddenly become very British... I have to say that the only extra option that I think I'd use is the cutting one track into more than one physical cd tracks. I do everything on the Fostex, so I don't need to export to a PC etc... I will keep an eye out for a cheapy on...

Upgrades... I'm in the same situation as GlynB, I would like to upgrade, but I've not got a scsi zip drive.... doh. Oh well never mind. Dave. www.DaveWare.co.uk

We are back in business...! Ok, the replacement HD arrived yesterday, I've installed it and formatted it. I even managed to load on the back-up of my last song (the one I managed to drag, kicking and screaming off of the dying hard drive). All seems to be in working order, I will do some drum...

It was a 20g Maxtor D540X-4K. I always thought they were a good brand... I've already ordered another one (same brand and spec), so we'll see how it goes. To be honest I don't mind 20 odd quid every couple of years. It was the loosing of work and the delay in recording time that's annoying...

Well, My VF160 is 2 years old, and its the HD that came with it. It's a little disappointing, I'd expect longer service than that... Dave. www.DaveWare.co.uk

Thanks Again... Cheers again, I've managed to find another 20g Maxtor D540X-4K on Ebay, and it was only 26 quid including P+P, so I've gone for that. The only bummer is that I lost all my work. Luckily I've just completed my album and I'm happy with all the mixes. Just as well really, I...

Dead drive... Thanks for the suggestions guys, I think my Hard Drive has died a terrible death. No problems, I can get a new one... Can anyone give me a list of compatible hard drives...? According to the Fostex site I have a choice of 2, and that may well need some hardware upgrade to the...

Hi guys, I'm having some problems with my VF160, I wonder if anyone's experienced anything similar...? During playback I noticed that my recording was jumping about. I assumed that I had some bad sectors, so I thought I'd back-up my work and reformat the disk. But I'm having trouble backing...

Yorgo, thanks for listening, I do listen to a bunch of prog rock (as well as other stuff). I will give a listen to the other stuff posted here when I get home this evening... Dave. www.DaveWare.co.uk

Nice One...! Well done, I'd like to be next, but I doubt it. Were you picked out of the blue, or did you do some promotional push...? Congrats. Dave. www.DaveWare.co.uk

Took a listen... Hi Max, I had a listen to your two vocal tracks, you've got a REM / Pearl Jam feel to your voice, with a mellow musical backing. I wanted you to go for it a bit more on the vocals, it felt like you were holding back a little. The mix was a little muffled too, a bit more top...

And have you been in there...? My posts get swamped within minutes, and off to the second page before anyone has a chance to see it. I like the fact that you can post Fostex specific recordings here to a smaller audience. I will go and listen to Shinemdm's demo... Dave. www.DaveWare.co.uk

Hi, I took a listen, it's a good track. I know it's an accoustic version, but it was desperate for some drums and balls. I can see a very angst ridden video for this on MTV2... Nice work. Dave. www.DaveWare.co.uk

Daniel, I had a listen to the track over on the Artist Portal (I was over there anyway to see if any bugger had listened to my track). I'm really liking your pop/rock sound, and it's a very well produced piece too. Good stuff mate. bsr2002, I listened to the first couple of tracks (I had...
