    what recording mic would work wit MR-8?

    Hi, I wondered when I read "recording" not "live" mic ? Do you want to sound different ? I was over at San Ash today they had about 10 different mics set up side by side, If I wasn't satisified with my shure sm-58 and had the guts, I might have tested each one right there (bringing in the...

    MR-8 Pre-amp

    Hi, I'd also like to mention you may want to try the one first. There are so many variables on what you are using and doing. I hear some of the same model even sound differnet. After I bought the ART I searched the web and discovered I had just bought a device that was the object of varied...

    MR-8 Pre-amp

    Hi, I have an ART Tube pac. Its a pre-amp / compressor. I only used it for voice so far but it can supply a lot of gain (volume) and can be output to both an amp and xlr to a mixer if you want to use it live as well (like a direct box). I hear it good for other insturments too like trumpets...

    Anyone using a 512M CF card w/ MR-8???

    hi, it uses compact flash cards instead of a hard disk or tape. It hooks to the computer via USB with windows 2000 or XP or with a compact flash reader. Check out http://www.fostex.com/Support/manuals.html for a mr-8 manual ( all the details there ) or on this board !! redStar8

    Help! MR-8 input levels.

    Hi, Also try the Bright Button to make it louder. I noticed when I put new strings on my guitar and plugged directly in: the sound with the Bright Button sounded a little wavey. redStar8

    Anyone using a 512M CF card w/ MR-8???

    Hi, I have a trancend 512mb and its working pretty good ( however it was moved off the confirmed list). On 1st day I believe a vacumn cleaner caused a low power condition and I got a card error 14. One more error has occurred since with several hours of use (it leaves the files) - I'm planning...

    MR-8 Help

    hi, When you get this worked: look out hard drive ! When 1 GB cards get cheap in the future (they make them out of basically sand i think), I read that the mr-8 could support up to 2GB on FAT16: thats over 6 hours of track minutes and then doubled by this ! well its nice dreaming, redStar8

    OS upgrades-how do I proceed

    Hi, in the zip file you downloaded are the instructions in adobe .pdf format. I'm remembering that the proc is different whether your using USB or a CF reader. If you have neither, Fostex are offering to do the update !

    MR-8 / power surge / card errror 14

    Hi, I found a couple of posting on deja that said something like the only couple of times they had problems with cf in the last year was when the power went real low. This kinda of fits the vacumn power up / circuit power loss I think happened last night !

    hard disk recorder???

    Hi, I use the MR-8 a lot and really like it !! You can re-format the CF card as FAT 16 bit or just delete the tracks if you want. You can transfer the .wav files to a PC via USB (with win2k or XP) or via a USB CF reader (about $20). A number of mixing programs can directly import the .wav file...
