Fostex MR-8 card error 09

Hi there. I'm having trouble with my Fostex MR-8 CF card. It's an intermittent problem that keeps popping up saying card error 09. I've reformatted (also from an external source as well as the MR-8). Sometimes I can get away with recording a song and immediately transfering onto the computer, but the next time it will get halfway through and then corrupt again.

Taming Conga Ringing?

Hi,

First attempt recording congas. The drummer has 3 drums. The lowest one (tumbadora?) has a nasty high frequency ringing... similar to issues I've had with toms where one of the lugs has an issue with a spring. I can't seem to hear exactly where it's coming from, but I'm assuming it's from one of the metal bits of hardware.

Any suggestions on troubleshooting this?

Second set of monitors

I've been waiting to find just the right setup for my needs. I wanted a second set, mainly for tracking. I have bought a set of Tannoy System 8 nearfields for just such work. I am looking forward to hearing them. I have heard the big brothers of these and I have always loved the detail and focus of a concentric speaker setup.
