I was just playing around with an acoustic guitar effects box as a headphone preamp, using an AT 3035 to mic the guitar. Lots of distortion, as the box couldn't drive my headphones very well. So I patched it all through the MR8, to drive the headphones. Still didn't drive them very well, so I...

I've had one for a few months. Used it a lot at first, less lately. I bought a 512M card immediately, which yields 90 track-minutes ($150) and a mic pre amp ($90, I think) because of the level problems (no preamp to speak of in the MR8) and need for phantom power. $220 for a scratch and dent...

simpletech 512m rebate I got a card from Simpletech denying my $50 rebate. I called the toll free number and complained, and they claim to be resubmitting it, for payment in six weeks. So first, if you get shut down, beg! Second, what are they doing, living off the interest for 6 weeks? I...

I tried using the VST plugin endorphin, from digitalfishphones.com. It's a compressor. As soon as I so much as click on a slider, total lockup. Anyone get this to work with n-track? Those who've used it, is it worth the effort? EJ

Thank you Tim. My wife is always finding the stuff we're out of, according to me, right in front of me, and this apparently is more of the same! Garry- version 3.2 of n-track defaults to those things being off in the initial mixer view, or at least did after my install the other day.

I've been playing around with the version 3.2 I just downloaded. Using a song done on the last version, I can tell that aux sends are still happening, but other than drawing the aux send envelopes, I don't see any controls on the channels for aux send levels. I'm sure I'm just missing it--can...

I looked hard at both (so hard at the Tascam that I ordered a cd burner for it), then bought an MR-8. The Tascam has more inputs (at least 6 and maybe 8 with line ins). With the $100 rebate Tascam had (may still have?), price with burners wasn't much different. The Tascam also will do 24-bit...

I had a 319-for one day. It made a digital recorder sound like an old cassette with the dolby turned off. Must have been a Friday build.

Apologies for the ignorant rookie question, but--when using a mic preamp ( M-Audio Buddy in this case), it's really easy to overload the MR-8 inputs. On the other hand, the MR-8 needs a pretty hot input to make up for the weak preamp. I've been using both the input level and the mic preamp...

I didn't like Taylors at first. Had an Alvarez-Yairi dreadnought as my main acoustic and later a Baby that my wife gave me to travel with. I got very fond of the Baby's action. Killing time one rainy day at the music store, I played a 414 Taylor. You know how it is--something just grabbed me...

I really like n-track, but after a month of using it, I've decided that crashes are just part of the package. If any window, any time, is closed with the 'X' button when there is an alternative way to do it within the window, down it goes. If I interrupt it in the midst of something, like...

I tried an e-bay Oktava 319. What a piece of crap. Sounded like I made a cassette without Dolby when I made the first test (digital) recording. It was an honest guy, and he took it back.

Musicfan-- I've had a 3035 ($110 used) for a little while and just got a Rode NT3 ($100 new). The AT in comparison to, say, an SM58 is awesome. Clear and uncolored vocals. Not so great on acoustic guitar--not detailed. The NT3 is really something on guitar-crystal clear without ever being...

Hairless Jenny, Get the preamp. I shouldn't mention the company that made mine, from the sound of your note, but the MR-8 needs help with most inputs I've tried.

My simple tech 512 has worked like a charm, too. I don't know why the X is on their table--maybe they just buy one card and got a lemon.

Simple Tech model number Spotz, Yes, that's the model number. EJ

I first tried friends' V-Tech (cheap dynamic) and SM-58 for acoustic guitar and vocal. V-Techs were tinny and awful, SM-58 was fair-a little heavy sounding, and kind of thick. Neither had enough output with the MR-8 preamp alone. Then I got an M-Audio Buddy preamp. That alone helps a lot...

Mannish Boy-- I'm new at this and trying for the same thing with an acoustic guitar. I tried the piezo pickup once-sounds pretty bad. I have two Audio-Technica condenser mics, one a large diaphragm 3035 and one a smaller one (MB-4000). Those were the good e-bay purchases. Don't get me started...

I returned a Viking 512 unopened to Amazon (thanks bdbdbuck for the tip) ordered before I found this group. I've been using a simple tech 512 mb card I orderd instead for two days now. Works like a charm--bounces, records, all that stuff. I put three songs on, about 4 tracks each, and then...

I'm thinking it's something happening in the digital part, not the headphone amp. Things like pan must be operating on the digital signal. Otherwise, every track would have to be converted to analog, panned, etc., reconverted to digital, sent to the output bus, and converted again to analog to...
