The major details are in the other thread, but I must say these decisions are VERY hard given the range of quality stuff out there. Now, if the salesman were to give me a phenomenal deal on a VF160 I might change my mind...

Still, the VF80 feels like a cinderblock, which to me is a great compliment. It's quiet, portable, all-inclusive (especially with the CDR), and so far I love the sound quality.

So I guess I'll be on this forum asking questions for a while... sorry!

HERE'S WHAT i'VE DONE...

Download the manual from Fostex, then print it out (yes, all 140 pages). Then put holes in for a looseleaf binder. This acts as a very handy reference guide as you're working. Obviously, read it, but as you go, highlight the sections, in both the contents and the text, where you'll be working most.

It starts to get second nature and you start to automatically do things the "Fostex way".

I've got a long way to go, but I've already got a commercial ready for broadcast on CD. The manual is poorly written, but that's very common.

Anyone who would do a re-write or a "Dummies..." style book for specific units would be very popular.

Yeah I thought about that... My sister does all the printing for the county and has access to their printing and binding machinery, I'm gonna have her make me up a manual I can work with easier...
Thats a good idea about the highlighting thing....
