I LOVE MY MR-8!!! Great possibility with a laptop! Seriously mobile studio!

I considered the very same application of the mr8. I've got a shoebox full of old cassettes of many past projects/bands, which I'd like to save for shits n giggles.

As for mr halo, I was not at all offended by his input, and his english is excellent. I've only met a few fins, but all of them were outstanding people.

As for my preconceptions of the MR8, I was slightly disappointed by its absence of mixing ability, I assumed it was more of a stand alone unit. As mr halo implied, I may have been swayed from my purchase had I known this and the price of extra Cf cards.

There are a lot of people who dispense with the formalities of polite conversation and get to the meat. I know several of these in the real world, and bluntness does save time. In my opinion, this is a place of learning, and learning is not always pretty or polite, even arguments can bear strange fruit! (no reference here to that forgotten and moved thread)

Me too! The only sad thing is that my rhythm mostly sucks on those old tapes (I dunno, I was a human metronome as a youngin', but lack of practice and I lost it!).

What exactly do you think the MR8 is lacking as a mixer? EQ?
What I think is incredible is that I can do chopping and splicing of sounds right on the MR8- Haven't tried it yet- but from the auto punch in (specifying a punch start and punch in stop region) to the copy and paste, I can set my DR550 to 168 BPM, record the breaks, then cut up and make new breaks right there. Again, I haven't done it yet, so I don't know if its a lot harder than doing it on a computer.
