Digital Audio Tape (DAT or R-DAT) is a signal recording and playback medium developed by Sony and introduced in 1987. Suggest you rewrite Wiki in that case. D=Digital A=Audio T=Tape I don't remember saying that the recorded signal was analogue.

It is tape in every sense. The signal is digital rather than analogue but the recording medium is a tape in a cassette. I replaced my DAT tape recorder with a mini-disk so I could have more control over the indexing.

The Users Manual is still available if you want a copy. PM me with your e-mail. I had a DAT recorder some years back - a good machine. Unfortunately I messed up some tracks being used as a backing for a play. Switched to mini disk as the indexing of tracks is so much easier.

Since when did the MR16 have RCA sockets, mine are all 1/4" phono? First:-I presume you are trying to apply effects to your raw recording, in which case the Aux Out are the better choice as you can locate to individual tracks (including 15/16 if you have a final mix down) Second:- When you...

Don't think it works that way round. After all why are you trying to make a recorder sync to something else? The recorder is not a sound generator.

"Delete" only marks the files as unwanted but does not remove them from the disk. The only way to clean up the disk is to reformat. So download the files you want to keep on to your PC and "Format" the disk. See p124 of the User Manual. The history of the MR series suggests that they were...

Have a look at Synchronizing with MIDI in the User Manual. I am not a MIDI expert but I understand that you can create a tempo map in the MR8 which would control a drum machine. The best advice is look in the manual and give it a go! You can't bust anything.

Is your card shown in the list of recognised and tested cards?

Before you lose your cool!!!!! I suggest you look up the MR8 Confirmed Media List .pdf. I can send you one of you PM me. The list only goes up to 2 Gb. Re the update. They usually come with a .pdf of instructions. The latest version is 1.21.

Each track is imported as a .WAV file so it becomes Fostex independent. Treat as you would any .WAV file. You should select a folder to import to from the LH window in WAVManager. (See insructions P5 item 1). You then recover the files from that folder.

Go to fostexinternational.com and download WAVManager (plus instruction pdf file). This will allow you to download individual tracks to your PC. I have used Audacity (free program) to edit sound tracks but there are many other editors available.

The M80 is a "fixed" speed machine at a nominal 15. The only speed variant I can see is the pitch control with +/- 10% of nominal speed. To change the speed radically, you would probably need a new capstan of a different diameter.

Don't see why not. I suggest a regulated supply and make sure the capacity of the supply will meet the consumption of the FR2. The manual claims 5.7 - 10 W so anything better than 1A should do.

The service manual says the drive is a 3.5" E-IDE 5.1 Gb drive. I am sorry i don't have the list either. Can send the service manual if that is of any help.

See P8 of the User Manual. You plug it into a normal stereo input on the Behringer. Are you using the Behringer effects into your multitracker? If so, output the 1002FX into the inputs of the FD-4. I cannot see any reference to effects on the FD-4.

Probably if you take the level up to just under the "overload" indicators it may work better. There have been a number of posts about low recording levels on Fostex machines so this may be another example. have you got version 1.2 of the software? If not update from the Fostex International site.

Try SCV London (+442084181471) (in UK 02084181471) This is the service dept. for Fostex and they may be able to help or even offer an instruction book.

The easy answer is yes if you can use the A/DAT optical or Digital Output. Unfortunately the USB option is not directly available and converters are needed. The home recording machines like the MR series have USB connection and can talk directly to the PC. That is why I suggested PC editing and...

Would it be easier to stay PC based for outputting and mixing? I was thinking that a program like Audacity might be the easier way of mixing the digital signals.

Sorry I could not have been more help. I have a folder of User Manuals for Fostex machines but it is not as complete as I would like. The Service Manuals were even rarer. I hope you can find someone who has a copy and is prepared to share it. Are you in the USA? There is a company in London who...
