diogo said:its not that bad no..i dont think so...i badmouth it a lot just cause i wish i had something better, but to tell u the truth, if u add something into the chain, as most ppl do or are in the process of doing, say a decent budget pre, a reverb unit, etc, its gonna end up being the same as recording in one of those portable carry it all studios (roland, korg, etc) cause this kind of "crap" is all built around the same components. plus the MR8 will record 24 bit uncompressed. u cant obviously burn a cd like in those portable units, but i wouldnt burn a cd there safe for rough demos or whatever.
the flashcards aint that big a problem, their website has these upgrades u can download that will make it support a lot of the cards it didnt before...anyway u just gotta shop around.
i would sell mine, but since its new it would have to be a pretty good offer.
if anyone's interested u can reach me at diogo23@yahoo.com.
hope this helps
I was right. It only records in 16 bit. From the data sheet on the Fostex website:Rokket said:The MR-8 will do 24 bit? I thought it was only 16... Here I've had it for over a year and never knew that. I better get in the manual.......
IMHO, the only advantage digital machines have over the 424mkIII is the fact that signal loss when bouncing tracks is almost nil.A Reel Person said:but some people, such as myself, still think the likes of the Tascam 424mkIII is technically superior to the MR8. That's my basic point.
The fact that people get **stars** in their eyes over the word "digital",... is one of the things that drives the success of the MR8. Comparing features and specs, the MR8 doesn't fare that well against the 424mkIII.

Yup....A Reel Person said:.............heh.
It was a song that I had written about my grandmother when she died. It was also one of the first things I ever posted in the clinic when I first joined. Of course, by then it had been recorded onto my MR-8 and mixed via pc...A Reel Person said:That's what jake-O.W.A. always says: "If you want a good review, ask your mom!"

Yeah, actually it's uncompressed -16 bit, 44.1khz; compressed is 16bit, 22.05khz...diogo said:sorry bout the 24 bit mistake..
somehow i thought compressed - 16 bit; uncompressed - 24 bit..
ive never really been through the manual that much so, i just thought i had read it somewhere there on one of the short readings.

Are the effects really that bad, and if they are, would Cakewalk make up for it?
I'm trying really hard to convince myself to buy it, but is it really worth it?
