Hello there. I have a little problem, I've been into recording for quite a while, but never really left the analog world. Basically I went with a fostex mr8 machine for its simplicity I guess, but now I'm strugling heavily. Here's the deal, when I use the weird internal mic, it'll record one track at a time, but if i plug in a mic or a preamp, it will always and at all times record on 2 tracks. Does this happen to anyone else? I mean it can be surpassed sure, I can obviously dump everything to the computer, etc, but that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it? This machine has kind of tricked me twice now, first I thought it was an 8 track - wrong. Then I thought it could, as anyone would assume as perfectly normal, record on one track at a time - no can do.
I'm interested to know how you folks and users out there deal with this issue and go around it, or if it's even an issue btw, or just a malfunction on my particular model.
One last thing, I notice that the card that comes with it is extremely small. Any sugestions for widely avaliable cards that will work here, in terms of brands? I'm living in London at the moment so, it would be great if it's something fairly general and widely avaliable.
Thank you to everyone that might land a hand here.
