Make sure you re-format the disk before you start and get the latest software (1.08)
The MR16 does not have virtual tracks like some other machines, the Zoom for example.
The first thing is to make sure that they are converted to 44.1Khz/16 bit.
If track based use WavManager and name the tracks tr01.wav, tr02.wav etc
If stereo .wav file (see p111 of Owners Manual) it can be done, with care, using the USB link.
Keep at it. It is not that hard when you get to grips with the Fostex logic. I have the MR16 HD/CD and I have burnt CDs directly on the machine itself.
I had a massive learning curve until I realised that the MR is a very simple machine made complicated by the Menu system and the process of...
New software is available as a download from FostexInternational or from Fostexsupport (where you will get more help) The download comes with a .pfd file of instructions. It is a matter of downloading a .MOT file from your PC to your MR and then, by following the instructions, upgrading to your...
Is your HD full? Remember that a "Delete" does NOT release disk space. Only a re-format will do this.
I suggest you take Fostex's advice and also update with the latest software release.
Stereo Wav files, made in the 2Mix folder, will download directly into a PC or on to the CD burner. Tracks...
The Input equaliser works only on the inputs so you will only hear the effects on input signals. (OK so its a bit daft)
But this is where the MR16 is so clever!
Record your raw input on to two channels, say 1 & 2, Now the clever bit. Use two mono patch leads and connect the Aux Out 1 & 2 to...
When you download WavManager, you will also get a .pfd file of instructions. The information is in there.
You will need to convert the mp3 files into the 44kz 16 bit Wav format before trying to download.
I guess my second suggestion of just playing back the mp3 files and recording on to the...
I am sorry that I cannot be of more help. I have downloaded tracks from a CD into my MR16 but not across the USB link.
Please go to http://fostexsupport.com/index.php and pose your question there. Many of the users are ex Fostex Forum users and they will help if they can. Join up as well - its...
First you must export tracks Not Stereo .wav files. The MR will accept mono tracks, so you may need to break down the tracks The tracks need to be named tr01.wav, tr02.wav etc and recorded at 44 khz 16 bit.
Another option is to use an audio CD and import a stereo CD track using the CD-DA Import...
Re-formatting will "blank" the disk so you will lose the Fostex Fever tune too.
The MR recorders are best considered as session recorders. So you will download all your recordings and then start afresh. The original MR8 is based on a memory card which could be removed and read by a PC. The...
Download all the stuff you want to keep on your disk, either to your PC or to a CD.
Then re-format the disk!!!!
Deleting a song will only hide it. Deleting does not free up disk space. This is because the Fostex DOS is very simplistic. The original MR design was for a recorder that would...
You don't say if you have the MR8 or the MR8 HD. For MR8 easiest option is to use the card in the PC reader.
General option is WavManager (free from FostexInternational) see https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=307057
As I understand it - the MR8 track files can be transferred to be a source for an audio editor and a stereo song file can be transferred across just as if the source were a CD. WavManager is used for USB transfer from the MR8/HD series.
But if you want to put files back onto the MR8 you will...
OH! First I suggest you try to download the files treating the MR16 as a Hard Drive. Second possibility - try downloading using WavManager.
You don't give a lot of detail but many MRHD problems are caused by the disk being full. (assuming it is not corrupted in any way) If you can recover your...
