hey,
i have been recording with a Tascam 424 mkII, and I'm moving up to some digital stuff.
i was wondering if anyone has any opinions on the fostex MR-8. i have plenty of experience with digital recording, so simplicity is not really an issue, although i've read it is extremely easy to use.
i have found several decent priced mr-8's on ebay andI'm considering it but theres just one issue; i read that the mr-8 doesnt have any equalizer. this is pretty surprising to me.
any comments?
thanks
