I've been to Fostex.com to try to figure out what HDs are compatable with my VF-16, because the one that's in it now is a little noisy and I'd like one with a higher capacity anyway. I've been told that the newer ones are quieter, but the Fostex site seems to indicate that in order to upgrade...

Thanks for that. I fired him off an e-mail. I also found out there's a service center in Nashville, so even if I have to take it in for modifications, it's not too far from here. It's funny how different people's minds work, I actually saw in another thread where someone thought the VF-16 was...

Why didn't I think of that! I could just put the VF-16 in a closet. That's a great idea! I think I'll try that one. That would be great, because what you're saying sounds good, but what I could use is some specific "how to" instructions. Thanks for taking the time to respond. :)

Actually, the Yamaha MD4, from which I upgraded, is a digital recorder. It's only real drawbacks where that it only had 4 tracks and the medium could be unreliable at times. I seriously considered upgrading to the MD8 to avoid the learning curve, but I have been stuck with 4 tracks for so...

That's interesting, but I'm not sure how that might help me record an acoustic guitar track? Being rather MIDI illiterate, I'm not sure what you mean.

ghastly playing and horrific singing Dear mrx, What you say may be true. However, I've had a scripture song music ministry now for seventeen years, and have distributed hundreds of my recordings to many satisfied customers. My singing may not be considered top notch, but neither is it...

My noise problem Yes, Rob, that's what I'm talking about. The idea about putting the VF-16 in one room and myself in another may be the best solution to my problem at the moment. Since my last entry I tried putting a blanket over the recorder while I was recording. That helped a little. But...

Thanks Rob. I'm actually not really a purist when it comes to ambiant noise. I actually appreciate it when sounds of nature manage to serendipitously find their way into my recordings. I was just a little dismayed at just how noisy the VF-16's hard drive is compared to my Yamaha 4 track mini...

I mainly record by myself, using a lot of overdubbing for vocal and instrumental harmony, but occasionally I'll get a friend to sit in who plays an instrument I cannot play. My wife sometimes adds vocals as well.

I recently bought a used VF-16. I'm not entirely new to digital multitrack recording, but up till now I've only done 4-track recording with a Yahama 4-tack mini disc recorder. Right now I'm a little frustrated with how loud the hard drive is in the VF-16. How do I make a clean recording of a...
