I had the same problem the other day turntablist! It freaked me out when I heard that awfully distorted sound through my headphones, kicking myself for buying a "scratch and dent" model from MF. But when I turned the unit off for a few seconds and then on again, the problem went away. Whew...

I've been searching all over but I can't seem to find any staged comparisons that would allow me to hear the difference between a tube and a no-tube sound. Has anyone who has a tube-pre done this? Also, would using a tube pre on my SM58 be noticeable/appealing/worth the $ (or on guitar too I...

Re: Tom LeBlanc haha! Well I do have mostly French-Canadian blood in me ;) I actually grew up in the Northeast though. I'm a damn yankee :-P Wait, so are you saying that the VF-80 has a USB add-on card you can get??? I didn't realize that. I always thought it was stupid that they give...

If you really don't want a mixer, there are some rack units you could get. But how many pre's do you need? If you need 6 or less it'd actually be cheaper to just buy a Behringer mixer with 6 pre's. If you need more than 6 it gets expensive (meaning >$200). Here's a rack-mount 8-channel pre...

Instead of paying all kinds of extra money and limiting yourself to only certain units that have internal bass modeling capabilities, why not just go buy a good used bass and learn to play? :) I find the simulations leave much to be desired, and if you're just needing some simple bass parts it...

Re: in other words It's not so much that people are recording lots of 3+ minute songs, but rather the main complaint typically seems to be that with a 128mb card you can really only work on one song at a time. Think about what happens if you suddenly get inspired by a new little riff you...

Cool! I especially like the guitar work! I wish the vocals were a little more prominent in the mix though...they sounded good, but I couldn't really hear the lyrics because they're kinda buried behind the guitars. How'd you guys do the collaboration? Did you just file-transfer WAV files...

I'm really glad you asked about the C02's Sklathill...I saw that insane price and really wondered about them too! But I looked everywhere and couldn't find any info about them! :( Although, I did find a couple of huge pics of them, on the Samson site. Who knows how well they work, but at...

If money's an issue and you could deal with having only 6 XLR inputs on your mixer, I'd say go with the Mackie DFX-12. Mackie pre-amps are supposedly superior to Beringer pre's, and this mixer has built-in superior 32-bit effects for mastering, etc. It's a great deal, and an amazing product...

Re: mr 8 But if you're planning on spending $300 on the MR-8 and then $150 on a 512mb card, you might as well spend another $50 on top of that to get the VF-80, with the built-in 20GB hard drive, phantom power, better effects, etc. etc. Sigh...if only money grew on trees ;)

I think you'd be MUCH better off with the MR-8! First off, the Zoom only comes with a 32MB card, whereas the Fostex comes with a $128! Plus, Zoom makes you BUY the power supply for another $20 or so, whereas Fostex includes one with the MR-8. Those two hidden costs more than make up for the...

I just got my MR-8, so I was looking all over for Wav Manager when I stumbled across this page, which has a v1.05 update on it (as well as a Mac verson of Wav Manager): http://www.fostex.co.jp/int/software/dloadmen.html Anyone know anything about this new update? It's strange, because when...

Looks like Fostex has a Mac version of Wav Manager now! http://www.fostex.co.jp/int/software/dloadmen.html Also, does anyone know anything about the new update on this page? It says it's v1.05! But when you go to the MR-8 page on the Fostex international website it pops up a window telling...

They also have tons of 512's, including a Viking 512 for $103 after rebate. Here's all the different 512's: http://www.buy.com/retail/searchresults.asp?search_store=1&querytype=comp&qu=CompactFlash+512&loc=101&dclksa=1

They also have smaller, 5W ones (instead of the 10W ones above, or the $200+ 20W ones), for $79 or $89 (w digital connector) at MF: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030422194948004046249102064657/search/g=home/detail/base_id/103779

What about these cheap amplified Edirol monitors from Musician's Friend? ($129 for a pair, with a digital input!) http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030422194948004046249102064657/search/g=home/detail/base_id/103779 You can get the same speakers without the digital input for $119 I...

I found it amusing that my MR-8's CF card even came with the previous owner's attempts at making music...I understand now why he returned the unit! hahaha! Sorry, that was mean, but if you heard these songs you'd probably say it too! :-P

Re: mail order Dave, I just got my "scratch and dent" MR-8 from Musicians Friend in the mail today. I've seen them come and go VERY quickly on the site...if you don't catch one in about 15 minutes or so they disappear. I got mine for only $240! I can't believe they took $60 off the price...

I just checked MF a few minutes ago, and now they claim they'll have more MR-8's in stock on the 25th (in 4 days!!!). Sweet! Not that I actually believe it though...
