What he was saying is that in MAS mode you can record uncompressed but you only get 6 tracks to work with instead of 8. Unless you get an external mixer to do some submixing before hitting the 880ex your only limited to recording 6 inputs at the same time, no matter what mode you use. If you...

Go with the 880ex. SWG

Yes you can plug mics right into the 880ex but your gonna need a source for phantom power if your using any mics which require it. It has 6 balanced 1/4" inputs but no XLR inputs. I've been using the 880ex for about 6 months now and the results are getting better with the more I learn about...

Learning how to use it, I wish they'd make a Dummies guide to VS880ex recording :)

Well, I got my 880ex a little over a month ago and have never once regreted buying it. It is my first multi-track recorder of any kind and it seems like I won't need to upgrade anytime soon. So far I'm basically using it to record live jam sessions with my band and it's amazing the quality...

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=329827176 Man if I had the money this sucker would be mine. I already have one and let me tell you , there isn't a better 3 channel head on the market. I paid almost $1000 more for mine and I've had it for about 2 1/2 years now. I...

Actually, I got my 880ex off of eBay for a cool $1000. It was only used a couple times through a link with another 880. The guy decided to sell them and get the 1680. I was thinking of going through my PC but I was completely bewildered by which sound card to get and what software to run with...

Thanks alot Jon for the info. I undid the first bounce and kept trying until I got something pretty close to what I wanted. The last time I burned to CD it came out pretty decent. Only thing is I'm doing this on a pair of headphones so the sound I get when I play it on my stereo isn't goin to...

Last night I did my first recording on my 880ex and was quite pleased with the results. Only thing was when I burned to CD it ended up dry with loads of bass and little drums. The levels were all out of whack. When I was listening to it on the 880ex all 6 channels had great reverb. What I...

The only thing with the Mackie Mixer is it doesn't have stereo inputs, it's mono. Will it matter that much in the recording? Thanks a ton for the replys so far. Bill

Ok, I just bought a 880ex and I was wondering if I can use my Mackie 406m (6channel mono) powered mixer with it. Also, I am goin to need a place to back-up my recordings and I am leaning towards a CD-R. I already have a CD-R (Iomega ext. 650 CD) hooked up to my PC and was wondering if I should...

Sorry bout that, just kinda new to the whole area. Makes me feel like a Virgin again. :)

I need help on figuring out what gear I'm goin to need to complete my home studio. I just bought a Mackie powered mixer and a VS 880EX. I already have a shure sm58 and a sm57 mic. I also have 2 Soldano heads, a Gallien Krueger Bass head and a Boss GT-3. I'm probably going to mic the amps for...
