:? My Fostex Fd4 is taking atleast 18 hours to format my 73gb SCSI external harddrive. the manual says it will take a while, but I dont think it should take this long. I think something is wrong. the manual says that it will say COMPLETE!. My first attemp yeilded no COMPLETE!, even though I let it continue the process overnight.

I recently got a fostex VF160, and was needing to know how to hook-up an external effects processor

What are the differences between the VF-16, VF-160 & the VF-160EX?

I just bought a VF-16 on ebay for $250. I was wondering if I should've held out for the VF-160EX.

I might buy one for $250. Is this a good, easy way to build a small home/project studio?

I already have an outboard analoge/digital CD burner so I don't need the more expensive VF160EX (CD burner included) and I already have decent outboard gear. I'm switching from an old 8 track analoge TEAC to the digital domain.
Does anybody already own the VF160? Pro's &/or cons?

i just bought a used fostex fd 8. i have no knowledge of digital recorders. my band has used the tape 4 tracks, which i was quite used to. i've spent a ton of time reading and playing with the
multi-tracker. the manual just goes over my head. i cant understand how to record on 8 separate tracks.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows good or bad things about the new fostex mr8 hd. I have the original mr8 and its been very good. I know how to use digital recorders so the education isn't a factor. It seems like a GREAT deal for 4 tracks simultaneous and a 40 gig hard drive. Thanks

I am trying to find out if the FOSTEX D2424LV will link to the 9pin ADAT synch so that I can hook it up to my Frontier Designs Sound Cards, ADAT sync as you all know is extremely reliable time code.

Is there a way to fool the MR-8 to connect with a MAC to record directly into Garageband, or as an alternative, for mixing in Garageband? Analog output to analog/digital interface?

I know the machine is designed to connect to a PC or use a card reader to bring the WAV file into the MAC, but it seems like ther should be a way to fool it.

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.

Hi there, this is Lars from Germany, Europe...I bought a Fostex G16 analog Multitracker in used but good condition some days ago. The Machine looks good and i got any service manuals and stuff along with the machine. There are some problems to fix, which I knew while buying it, for that reason it was quite cheap. (260 Euros).
Now I want to fix that problems.
