    Removing hard drive MR-8 hd/cd instructions (since USB won't work)

    Of course there are many pages. The Fostex forum was a busy one! I suggest you take time to scan the pages to see if there are any posts relating to your problem. I have the page describing how to remove the back of the MR16 (which I will send you if you PM me with your e-mail address) but, as...

    Removing hard drive MR-8 hd/cd instructions (since USB won't work)

    I do not have the service manual for the MR8 but I do have the MR16 service manual if that is of any use. You have tried WavManager to get at the files? Try "Fostex Archive" in the search field top RH corner, I remember an article on dismantelling the MR in there.

    Simple Software to Mixdown to?

    Audacity is a freebe and quite good for mixing. PC based but the screens are fairly clear. May be worth a try.

    Fostex VF80 - Burning Silent CDs!

    Ask SCV London if you can get a SPDIF to USB converter. A lot of the older Fostex machines have the SPDIF output to go straight into DAT recorders. (I used to have one) SPDIF is the digital output on the back of the VF80. I do not know if you can get a SPDIF input for your PC The MR16 has the...

    Fostex VF80 - Burning Silent CDs!

    This is just a guess but have you considered replacing the CD-1A burner? It is possible that the CD burner has just given up seeing everything else seems to be working. My PC CD/DVD burner packed up recently which is why I suspect that may be the problem. As you are in England have a go at SCV...

    fostex mr16 question:

    WavManager V2.12 works with Windows XP. Go to the FostexInternational site, Support and WavManager software. Download both the Wavmanager software and the .pdf file of instructions. WavManager makes the MR16 look like an external drive to your PC. Try to download the songs you want to keep on...

    Use mixer with my MR8 MK11?

    I think you need to use the line out from the mixer and set the Fostex to line in levels on trim control of inputs A & B. Just treat the Behringer as another line input. You might try a recording on the Fostex (say on tracks 3 & 4) and then connecting the ST OUT to the Beringer. You can then...

    Want to record more tracks

    Go to Erase Track on p120 of the Owner's manual. I think you can erase stereo pairs 1/2, 3/4 etc. which will speed up the operation.

    DMT-8VL mixing and archiving question

    The FCA202 looks good. The A/D conversion is better than is required for a CD. If you have got Firewire on your PC then it looks a good buy. The TOSLINK out put is really designed for recorders with that input. My old Denon mini-disk recorder has it as an input but, as my recording base is CD, I...

    DMT-8VL mixing and archiving question

    Digital Audio Tape is quite an old system that has been superceded by CD and DVD. The optical output of the DMT-8VL can be used to input to some amplifiers and recorders. Your best bet is to either get a good A to D converter or to look for an optical to digital converter. I have found a number...

    Fostex MR-8 how to overdub

    I have an MR16 but the machines are similar.Think of the unit as an 8 track tape recorder - that is all tracks record or play back at the same time. Example:- You have recorded on track 1. Set to Start and switch off Rec Select for Track 1 and switch on Rec Select for Track 2. Push up the vol...

    Questions about the DMT-8

    I had a look at the Owners Manual and I think you are right about not downloading recorded material easily. There is a Stereo Out on the top panel so this may be used to supply a recorder. There is an optical output to download to a DAT machine but this seems to download the recorded material...

    MR-8HD - Loss of volume of the WAV file on the PC/LAPTOP

    Not noticed this problem but the files are digital so the volume should be correctable using an audio editor.

    PM 0.5 speaker buzz when used near computer screen/monitor

    Move them away from the monitor. It may work if you screen the speakers with an earthed metal screen.
