Thanks. Actually have been having good luck running a Mackie mixing board into Audacity direct. But I can't do multiple instruments and the mix down is a little clunky. Let me download and I will report back for anyone who is interested. I was planning to do that anyway. Thanks

I posted this on another thread. Terfyn- you may be right. all I get when I use their links is that the link no longer exists. I though Fostex had folded

I am a little apprehensive to do the update from my new machine. We had a 'system crash' at home and I had to get new machines with the new machines only having windows 7and are 64 bit. I am at the point I might just forget doing the project editing on the machine and just do the best I can...

I was reading the manual last night doing some research for a project I am thinking about. Two things. Did you check your 'trim' setting. If that is way high, you could be sending a huge amount of signal and distorting The other thing. I was looking at my bpx of miscelaneous and sundry parts...

backer music track You mention that you are running the backer track from a lap top. It could be an impedance issues because that is the older Fostex machine., I have had trouble running high impedance instruments line in and getting funky sound. Did you consider burning your track to a CD...

Have not used my MK8 mark II in ages. Using Audacity alot. Anyway. I have new computer- Windows 7 system. I want to use the Mark II for a project which will require transfering wav files to my lap top. I think the mark IIs software needs to be updated. All the fostex site's instructions that...

Let me see if I can chase down some of the ECM 8000s. I understand the 6Db loss. I forgot it also applies when people are on top of each other in the choir setting. SInce my promix is maxed out because the LN has a small orchestra assembled, I am going to steal the overhead circuits and try to...

Herself's (she is Irish) maternal side is Anglican. They have issues with the music also. our Liturginazi seems to have a soft spot for Amy Grant and that ilk...Surprised more folks haven't changed sides! I am the church organist for years (though part time because most Catholic music has gone...

Jim I could make a joke about it being a very 'Catholic Choir'....everyone wants to be in the back row, but won't go there. If I put much more gain behind those shures, I am going to beat my feedback limiter. I will see if I can locate some decent condensers. With the overheads, I thought I...

Herself and the Liturginazi are interested in a. Recording her choir and b. updating thier system mikes at Church. So related tasks in a way. Tall, modern church. 30 foot ceiling. Live space. Concrete and brick (described in my miking acoutic grand piano thread a while ago). Choir is jammed...

I found I get the hiss when I have the 'amplifier' features in the guitar mode. So I keep them off.

thanks very much!

I think it is what us Catholics think of as the 'House Musicians'. My group at our church survived for 22 years. You can get decent live sound. But recording them was a real challenge, especially since so much of what we did was acoustic-guitars, pianos, mandolins, and the occasional tin...

Once I have the music part of the recording done, I was thinking about working on a project in Audacity. Do I have to download the files from the MR8-MKII, or can I just run the card through my normal high speed downloader direct to the computer and open them in Audacity like any other wav file?

Thanks MM. I think I understand how you are doing that. I will give it a shot. Halfred- I actually have a choice on environments. Like you, I have a grand in my living room, but live on a corner lot, so even in the wee hours, there tends to be low frequency rumble from traffic. Which brings my...

I purchased the Fostex for pretty much the reason you mentioned. I am learning a new instrument in the traditional Irish style and am supposed to record myself from time-to-time for self audit purposes. I find it a bit 'clunky' to use, but the price was not bad. I know this is a bit off...

OK MM. I understand what you are doing with the two mike arrangement. I am not clear on the mike location. 6 feet away from the lid line? They are being placed at the bottom of the case above the lid. Is that what you intended?

First I am no pro at recording. Not even a competent hobbyist. Now. Whenever I record an acoustic piano, particularly grands, the sound always sounds 'warbley' or has an odd tremolo even if it is in good tuning. Has anyone had any experience in getting good quality rendition of piano? I have a...
