For the price, nothing even comes remotely close to the VF-16.

Ginzoo, I think Program 1,the stupid demo song that ate our precious hard drive space, is there to stay. If anyone knows otherwise, please post it. Also, PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY ZIP DISK QUERY BEFORE I JUMP OUT MY BEDROOM WINDOW!

It's me again still pulling my hair out trying to decide for sure on which backup/mixdown scenario to go with. The VF16 will format a zip disk w/FDMS to save data that can then be re-loaded into the VF16 later. But to save a .wav file (completed,mixed song) you have to have a zip disk...

I was just about set on getting a jaz drive and an internal, PC CD-burner when I remembered hearing good things about Fostex's own CR300. I used to think spending $800 for this wasn't worth it, but when you consider the cost of a jaz drive ($350), jaz disk ($100), special cable to connect it to...

Calo, Thanks for your reply to my post in the Fostex forum. As far as your problem goes, when you need a question answered by Fostex,forget about their website. It's always way behind & totally useless. You can talk to a tech at Fostex M-F 9-5 PST at 562/921-1112. As for me, I use a mixer before...

Because the manual doesn't go into detail on this, I'm trying to figure this out: If I'm recording from mainly stereo sources and just one instrument at a time, could I use the same two inputs every time and just keep selecting different tracks to record to? (maintaining odd and even tracks for...

Fostex confirmed on the phone today that you CAN mixdown to a stand-alone CD recorder, as long as it has an optical input with TOSlink adaptor compatibility. All the tweaking is done on the VF-16 then a stereo mix is sent to the CD burner. I first thought about the Philips CDR775, but with a...

Just wanted to say that I'm now abandoning the idea of S/PDIF out to soundcard on PC to PC's CD burner and am looking at stand-alone CD recorders like the Philips CDR775. It goes for about $450, much less than a soundcard with an optical input and a CD burner; it has dual trays for duplication...

twelvdrmz, I'm not surprised that Fostex isn't gonna make a CD-burner. The solution now seems to be to get a soundcard with S/PDIF (my soundblaster doesn't have one),an internal CD-burner like the Microboards professional or one of the Tascams. I just hope they come with the appropriate...

We've explored various ways of exporting data from the VF-16 like SCSI out to Zip to PC, SCSI out to DVD-RAM (Per Maggie Watson@ Fostex:Only the Panasonic external DVD-RAM is compatible and that goes for more than twice the Ceative Labs one!!!!) etc. The aforementioned Ms.Watson says that you...

twelvdrmz: Making our own CD's with the VF-16 is what it's all about. I know it CAN be done, but right now we're all trying to figure out the best way to get song data from the unit to our PC's then burn a CD. New Fool: Hello from the U.S.! Personally, I had been looking at the Rolands for years...

Forgive another consecutive posting, but I just spoke with my new friend Bob (I think) at Fostex in California. He tells me there are only three compatible devices to connect to the SCSI port of the VF-16: The Iomega Zip Drive, the Iomega Jaz drive, or something called a Panasonic DVD-RAM. I...

To reply to my own post, I just found out that you can't use the aforementioned Castlewood ORB because you cannot backup to any disk larger than 2GB per the VF-16 manual. Also, I am beginning to understand that you save a recording from the VF-16 out thru the SCSI port as a Wav. file to a ZIP...

Thanks very much for the replies and a special thanks to Skip for the great info on SCSI master/slave stuff. I'm now looking into the Castlewood ORB. It uses 2.2GB disks and has a 50-pin SCSI in port & separate out. I want to be 100% positive whatever I get will work.

This question was posed several times throughout the other thread and keeps getting lost in the shuffle. I own a VF-16. The manual might as well be in the original Japanese it was "translated" from and their techs on the phone, for some reason, state that you have to use an intermediary device...

markr, Thanks for the reply. Good luck w/ the CDR. Looking forward to hearing how it works out.

Although I haven't used my new VF-16 yet, I am depending on it to burn my master CD's. Isn't it workable(in theory) to go SCSI port out into SCSI card of a PC and burn into a CD-R CD burner installed in the PC?
