I am thinking about buying an MR-8. I have a few questions concerning it that some of you who have used it might be able to answer. I am considering the MR-8 not only because of the price, but because of the ease of use that they claim. I will be recording myself and soundtracks. Then I will be singing the harmony parts. Due to this I don't think I will need more than the 2 tracks that can be recorded simultaneously. My questions are probably somewhat newbie so bear with me.
1. How do I hook my mixer up to the MR-8?
2. Can I go ahead and lay down the soundtracks on the MR-8 and then record vocals? If this is possible, with the vocals going through the mixer and the soundtracks being on the MR-8 will I be able to hear the tracks through headphones?
3. When transferring recorded material through USB to my computer for mastering is it possible to transfer a track at a time or is it the whole song in stereo?
4. I noticed that Musician's Friend has a package that includes the MR-8, a pair of powered monitors, headphones, cords, and a condenser mic for $499. I don't know what brand the monitors are but they are blue and silver and one of them has approx. 5 control knobs on the front. The mic is a MXL? (I already have a Shure SM 58 and a Shure beta 58). What do ya think?
