MR-8 and CF upgrade cards - User Experiences

[junplugged]

i would like to see units recording or at least backing up onto usb pen drives - or any usb memory that could just be seen as a drive - it'd be cool to have a usb multi slot reader and backup to any old flash mem chip you have hanging around

i haven't been here in a while...the mr8 isn't so popular anymore, i guess.

Not since they released the HD...

i don't even see the mr8 in the catalogs anymore, maybe the original is discontinued?

i was in guitar center and saw in person, the little late model mr8's the one w/ 2 xlr's and the one w/4. but the menu and the crap master buttons and the crap mic fake buttons were still there...oh well...

I just slapped a 2gig card into my mkII (Transcend 80x model)... They were on sale from TigerDirect for around $30.

395 minutes recording time... I plan on trying it out some this weekend.

<fingers crossed>

I just did yesterday as well. All that recording time is very nice !

So, how are the 2 gig cards working, what kind are they, how much did they cost, where did you get them, why is the sky blue?

 

[junplugged]

well, of course my $10 1gig doesn't bounce right, but i decided that i really don't care b/c i won't be producing or bouncing on it, just recording basic tracks and then transferring to my 16 track.

Mine seems to be working fine and all the other information (aside from the sky one) is in my original post.

As for the sky:

guess what, i got a 2gig card for $20. but i think i'll use it in my digital camera for video clips, i still haven't filled up my prior 1 gig for $10 card!

Any reason I can't use this one? The approved lists shows a 45X at 2 gig, but this (80X 4 gb) looks like a decent price so.......?

i don't know if it supports over 2 gig. so far i haven't heard of anyone using over 2gig, actually you might not really need more that 2.

i'm not even going to bother with my 2 gig, i'm putting that in my JAMMAN!!

I recently got a PNY Tech 1 gig card that works very well in my MR-8. For only like 14 bucks.

good old mr8, anyone have the latest on a large cheap card?

 

[junplugged]

I just pulled a card 2gigs from a camera. I'll be testing it out on the original old mr8 soon. Anyone remember these old days? This was some thread, wow.
