I have a friend who wants to buy a 16 track digital recorder who needs some information about the differences between the VF-160EX and the BOSS BR1600. I have a VF-160 which I'm very happy with, but I don't know much about the BR1600. Can anyone help me steer him in the right direction? Thanks.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful suggestions. I have now used compression successfully on my vf-16 and am excited about the results. I now understand that you can't just turn it on in the set up menu; you also have to turn it on in the compression window. The difference in sound is...

Thanks Bill. That really sounds helpful. I'll try it when I get home. I may also buy the book that Yeshuasfan recommended. I don't know why, but a practical application of compression has just eluded me up to this point. I've been able to get along without it up to now, but I think I could...

I've been trying to figure out for years how to use compression, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. If I understand (at least partially) the theory of compression, it should allow me to adjust the dynamics of a signal so that I can raise the volume over all without it causing...

Thanks Gomp, that sounds more like it for my machine. I'll give it a try tonight when I get home from work.

Thanks. I really appreciate your input. I'll let you know sometime in the next day or two whether it works that way on my machine, but your directions sound pretty straight forward. I'll try it.

Well, I'm not at home at the moment, so I can't look at my machine, but judging by the pictures of both units, it looks like the layout is significantly different, but maybe the procedure is somewhat similar in any case since they're both made by the same company. But I don't remember seeing an...

I have not been able to figure out how to use the auto-punch feature on my VF-160. The manual does not make it clear. Can anyone give me step by step directions in plain straight forward English? I could probably figure it out through trial and error, but I don't seem to be able to find the...

That was it! Yes. That was it. Thanks very much. I guess I don't have to buy another sound card after all. :D

Okay. I think that might explain it...but wait a minute... That must be it! I hadn't thought about the possibility that my built in sound card might not support stereo. That would explain why I can't get the pan effects to work! But wait a minute, if that's the case why is it that I can...

I'm sorry. I need to be more specific. I'm not using n-track for recording purposes, only for mixdown. Hense I don't need any connectors. I use my Fostex VF-16 to make the tracks which I then import into n-track. It just seems like certain effects that I try to apply to the tracks don't...

I recently bought n-track. I have never before used this kind of software for editing my multi-track recordings. I don't know if it's because my built-in sound card is not entirely compatable with the software, but I can't get the pan controls or eq to work. Reverb and volume controls work...

That's great! I'm looking forward to hearnig about what you learn. I'm sure I'll probably want to upgrade before long though.

Hi Cliff, I'm really not into this kind of music anymore, but I could really envision this song fitting in quite well as a top ten tune on the Dr. Dimento show. I don't know if that show is on the air anymore, but this tune would really work! Great recording! Great playing! The vocals are...

Well, I guess I should have asked for exact dimensions. The Smart Drive insulated HD enclosure is too large to fit inside my VF-16. :( However, I have at least found a temporary solution to my noise problem. I friend of mine owns a rather large house in a very quiet neighborhood. He is...

Well, I installed a new HD, but it's still noisy, but... I thought some of you would be interested to know that I just bought a new Maxtor 3 HD for my VF-16. I bought it because I wanted more capacity, and I was hoping it might be quieter. Well, when I installed it (it took about six hours...

Although I'm still in the dark about a midi controller, I tried the bit about putting the VF-16 in a closet while the microphone, my guitar and myself were outside the closet while I recorded. It worked rather well in terms of cutting down on the noise of the HD being picked up by the mic. The...

Who made that guitar you're playing? By the way, who made that guitar you're playing? It sounds pretty good to me.

Here's what Matt says I did get a reply from Matt just in time to bid on a new Maxtor Fireball 3 40 GB HD on ebay, but I lost the bid anyway. But here's what Matt says "You no longer need the hardware modification." I don't understand why if you used to, you don't now, but I'm not going to...

so you're a classical guitarist.... I liked it. I thought the recording sounded clean and rather noiseless. Your playing was very good, though I thought it didn't flow as much as it might have and sounded a little uncertain at times given the song, but that may just be your interpretation...
