I'd seriously consider something else. The MR8 has limited memory capacity. How long are your interviews? What sort of quality do you want to end up with? Are you going to publish the sound in any way? eg release a CD etc.? I dont believe you'd need to "mix" people separately. As long as...

lots of folks here and at other forums recommend N-Tracks, it's cheap and seems to work great! www.fasoft.com Personally I use ACID, but it's a lot more expensive than N-Tracks. www.sonicfoundry.com You could also look into Cakewalk products, I find their software quite easy to use...

this one isnt bad - Boss AD3 http://www.rolandus.com/products/details.asp?catid=3&subcatid=20&prodid=AD%2D3 Tube

if you want to mix your vf80 "tracks" on the pc, the only way to go is to buy the internal CDRW and burn off the tracks as wav files, then transfer on cd to computer. T

depends what you want to do....do you want to mix the audio files (individual tracks) on the PC? for this...I'm assuming you want to mix on the VF80 and transfer a stereo wav file to the PC. if you dont have the cdrw then you can only connect via the SPDIF output, which means you have to have...

uh oh...... I remember getting this message once with my VF80. I unscrewed the housing to the drive bay and checked the bus cable and how the drive was mounted. The wriggling must have fixed it because I've not had the message since! You're not the only one who has reported this issue. Tube

are these the drum loop CDs made for the VF80 and VF160? If so, I have used them and they arent too bad. It's a pretty difficult job cutting and pasting verses and choruses around. The CDs need to come with the songs mapped out in bars and beats. Only problem is, you cant stretch time, so...

I use my VF80 quite effectively with my laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro) using the method Garry described as option (i). The vf80 sucks at mixing IMHO...6 tracks at a time? It works well as a recording unit though, and the CD burner is spot on for burning all 24 tracks as wav files to transfer...

or..... in the Yamaha - pan all drums hard left and record on either track 1, 3, 5, or 7 of the mr8 (end up with 1 mono track of all drums - mae sure you get the levels right) and pan the guitar hard right, or plug into input B of the mr8 and record guitar on track 2, 4, 6, or 8 at least then...

Just plug or mic his guitar into the Yamaha 12/4 and mix it in with your drum sounds and send it to the L/R outputs and into the channels 1 and 2 of the MR8 Tube

only how you intend to interface it with your computer....budget for a SCSI card for your PC as well good luck Tube

'course you could just forget all about it and buy a new VF160.... ;) SCSI CD drives were damn expensive last time I looked, but like everything, that could change in a month or two. Compare what you would have to pay to get the vf16 and a SCSI CD drive with a new VF160! T

how much storage do you get from a zip drive? is it 100mb or 250mb? one three minute song with 16 tracks of audio will be approximately 240mb @ 16/44.1 a Jaz drive is 1gb my friend picked up a second hand one on ebay for like $25 AUD ! but any of the above solutions will be cool, the 2 x zip...

no SCSI option on the vf80.... ;)

I have a friend who bought a SCSI Jaz drive....you connect to your VF16 and save your tracks as "wav" files. You then need a SCSI card for your PC. You take the Jaz drive and connect to your PC, and upload the wav files into your music editing software. Mix down to stereo and burn CDs from...

does your VF80 have the CDRW built in? If so, then it's easy! Just go to the manual to the save program page, and save your program as .wav files onto a CDRW. Take that over to your computer, and simply load the wavs into your music program. If you havent got the CDRW....well, then it gets...

Yes! get one. Outboard compressors can impart a lot of magic if used correctly, and they are of good quality. Vocals, Acoustic, Drums, Bass can all benefit. Try and get one with a built in limiter too, especially if you do a lot of solo recording. Tube

doesnt it sync automatically if you use a SPDIF interface? ie no need for a MIDI cable..... I know that RME make some of the best soundcards available. However, there is a cheap solution using a USB interface.... the EDIROL UA1D http://www.edirol.com/products/info/ua1d.html Tube

use a CDRW (as 'orc suggests), how can that be wasteful?

yep, you can do it that way but you might have problems with level. you are better off getting some mic preamps to go with your vf160 so that the mic signals can be converted into line level signals with a 1/4" plug Tube
