Hey there fellow Fostex users!
I'm completely new to this community and am mostly completely lost.
I have a VF80 which I've had for 3 or 4 years now, and has been serving me well. Until recently, all I had as far as mics were concerned were 2 cheap condenser mics (just bought a Shure SM57). Basically, I don't have any friends that do home recording, and I'm not sure where mine stand as far as quality goes. I record each track individually.
You can hear samples of my recordings at myspace.com/benprisbylla (even though myspace destroys the quality of mp3s even more than they're already damaged).
My main question other than what you all think about my VF80 is about mastering. I want to send my songs off to be mastered by someone, but since there really isn't a way to burn the tracks onto a CD other than to master them and then burn them, I wasn't sure if this would be acceptable for the mastering studio. Would it make a difference? I think the tracks sound OK as is, but would like there to be some noise reduction done, some volume modifications, etc. Anyone know the answer to this?
Thanks! And I wouldn't be offended if no one responded, when I searched the VF80 here, I saw that no one has talked about it for two years. Guess I'm slightly outdated!
