Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

I just acquired a Fostex X-28 four track cassette recorder for cheap to record demos on while I search for a proper recording set-up.

What's your favorite Fostex studio monitors?

it worked fine a couple of years ago.
every thing else seems to be ok on the setup menu.
I do everything as the manual states...
when I arm the recording keys Im getting good mic thru the monitor headphones.
then I press play and start recording...seems ok.

I recently purchased an MR-16HD (w/o CD burner). I have been able to perform the most basic functions, but the more I read online, the more I believe I'm way off bass as far as connecting my equipment. I have an Alesis SR18 and a Focusrite Trackmaster Pro.

Just started using my Fostex MR-16 in my home studio. Will be doing demos for original songs, but also want to slow down tracks to figure out fast licks from recordings. No direct instructions on this function in the manual, and having trouble getting tech support from Fostex... Any ideas? Appreciate any input for a new user...

ive been looking into getting a digital recorder and thought some of you could help me out...right now its between the Boss BR-600 (2 simultaneous tracks) selling for $349 and the Fostex 16-track (4 simultaneous tracks) recorder w/ a built-in 40 GB hard drive on sale for $399 (was previously $499) ..I'm having a hard time deciding-- Boss seems to have much greater variety of effects (including

Hi,
I have played in tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9/10.

I bounced them to 15/16.

When I listen to 15/16 it sounds fine, but on the CD I make I can barely hear tracks 4 and 6 (the piano and bass). I even turned them up extra loud, but they won't come through loudly.

Is there something I'm not doing?

I have the MR-16.

Thanks 1,000,000

Hi guys,
I'm in the market for a good digital stereo recorder in the 1500€ range.
I plan to record mainly solo classical grand piano in live environment (Auditoriums, Theatres, Churchs ecc.).
I'll use it with a matched Schoeps CMC5 MK21 pair.
I'm considering Tascam HD-P2, Fostex FR-2 and Korg MR-1000.

Has anyone used these CD recorders? I know they are one of the cheaper units, but they do have balanced in/outs which is what I'm looking for to replace my useless HHB burner.
I just need something that is good enough to mix to from my analog 24 track, that I can take to a mastering studio.
