Which memory card are you using? Is it from the "approved" list? Steve

D.I.T.'s right. There's nothing like just trying it out. The unit's pretty well bullet proof. Just don't hit the buttons too hard (they can break). Other than that, all you need to do is get used to the user interface and start recording. Make a few bad recordings, erase them and then start...

Thanks Dave, I kinda thought that might be the case. As usual, what I do uses about 5% of what a DAW has to offer. Heck, I've never had to bounce tracks within the MR-8. Maybe I should learn that stuff in case someona actually asks me to do something productive with my setup. :D Regards...

No, not at all. My current setup is an MR-8, a DMP-3 mixer and 2 - Audio Technica AT3035's. It's a world of difference. It'll come in handy too. I'm getting ready to do my first masterclass (classical guitar) in October 2004. Regards, Steve

A new discovery! So, did you get it to work? Your post leaves it up in air. I found the same page you did and it worked perfect. The only question I have now is how to turn ON the auto erase. Just for kicks, I looked at a used card in Windows Explorer and boy, that explains a lot! The...

Hi All, I record my own music almost exclusively and I'm faced with a small problem. I record to an MR-8 that actually sits behind me along with my preamp (a DMP-3). The problem I have is no visual indication of signal level when I'm playing as I face the other direction (I play calssical...

I'm with you. I couldn't even find the instructions to install and I don't remmeber what I did the last time. :confused: Steve

Thanks, I did notice that the US server was down. I should have put 2 and 2 together. I just don't get Fostex. Thir products aren't half bad but why do they do their web sites in such a cheap and stupid way? Regards, Steve

If you're interested, I'm about to list a complete studio on ebay. It was my beginning setup. I can drop the recorder (a Tascam cassette) if you wish. The rest is a Behringer mixer, cables and 2 MXL condenser mics. I know I can sell the recorder individually. If interested, email me...

Hey Thanks, Is this the one that is "Audio Effects 3"? You basically design your room and its characteristics? If so, that's great. It looks like fun. Regards, Steve

Can't OPEN? Hell, I can't find the stupid upgrade. I haven't been on the fostex site in a couple of months and they've changed it big time. It sucks (BIG TIME!). Any clues or a URL? Thanks, Steve

I have to ditto the SimpleTech 512Mb card. I bought mine through Ebay also (I wish I'd paid "under a hundred" but then., I've had mine a while). I have had ZERO problems with it but my needs are fairly modest and I do my bouncing and editing in Cakewalk 2004 on the computer. Regards, Steve

Hi, I've improved my recording chain to the point where my recording "studio" is showing its shortcomings. Namely that it's dead. There is nothing I can do about this in the short term (that is, if I want to stay married :rolleyes: ). As an alternative, I think I can help the issue by using...

I discovered my error this morning before I logged on. I'm not sure where I picked up that info incorrectly but you are right. I had always associated the invention of the transistor with the year of my birth but I guess I can't do that any more. Thanks, both of you for the website. I did a...

Hi all, I was surfing Ebay while on vacation and found (and bought) a book published in 1955 on tube-type equipment. This is basically a book of schematics and directions starting with the basic and getting more advanced as the book progresses. It includes amps, pre-amps, radios and stereo...

So where was this review? "Virtual Micing Quarterly"? :D Steve

I, too, am a lowly hobbiest. I, too, have wondered the very same things as you but I do realize that this is an industry where the competent technician will do, at the most, OK. It is the true artist, the guy (or gal) who has real creativity as well as the technical skills AND the desire to...

My thoughts exactly! Experimenting with low-noise components, a different amp circuit. What the hell, by two so you can compare. The link, btw, is currently saying that the mics are on order. I put my email on the list to be notified when they come in. I hope the mics were NOT just a flash...

The question you should be asking yourself is whether the conditioner is doing the job. I have no personal experience with conditioners as they relate to audio but I have used power supplies extensively for amatuer radio (My call is NO8P). As you load the PS to its max, it loses its ability to...

I've had a busy time at work for the last couple of weeks so I didn't get around to reading it but there is a very good article (actually several) in a magazine called "EQ". It covers all the basics, how to choose, design etc. Oh, by the way, it's the April '04 issue. Regards, Steve Brown PS...
