    Sound Quality of Bounced Tracks

    Isn't the sound quality of bounces lower because it's all being done in 16 bits in the MR8? The information from 2 or more 16-bit tracks, together with 16-bit reverb, mastering eq, etc. is being merged into one 16 bit track, and that has to have an information cost that we can hear. N-tracks...

    Weird MR8 behavior

    The other night, I heard some funny clicks through the headphones if I hit a chord. It would be more noticeable as the sound faded. I thought maybe one of my ebay mics was messing up, so tried the pan controls to put one mic in each ear. The panning controls worked in reverse (and yes, the...

    MR-8 sound quality

    I got an MR-8 at the irresistable price of $203. Then bought n-track to do the real editing, M-Audio Buddy to drive the mics to a high enough level (crummy preamps in the Fostex), an Audio-Technica 3035 used off ebay that is sweet, and some nice headphones to monitor things. A Viking 512 MB CF...
