Hello everyone,

Another installment into my "Cheap Spring Reverb" series. This time I take on the Fostex 3180. This noisy little machine adds a nice sheen to any track I pass through it. Very versatile in my opinion if you aren't looking to spend a large sum of money. I think I picked up mine for something around $100-$200 a little while back. Well worth the money I would say.

Hello everyone,

On the bench is a line mixer with a intermittent right side of the the 2nd output.

Interesting design inside, very late 80's...

Any Fostex users out there? I forget my model number - 8 track recorder (4 tracks at a time) with CD burner. I'm seeking advice regarding the order in which the tracks should be recorded and how they should be mixed. I have some M Audio speakers - which tend to sound "muddy". I'll get a mix that sounds good in the headphones only to have it sound like crap through the speakers.

Hi,thanks for this forum.,,:)
I,we bought a used fostex mr8HD and after some time the warning "to-many-events.came up. I cant bounce track 1-6 to wav file 7/8 for download to pc,before fragment HD and mr8HD have not the option for delete undo/redo wav file to make Space,,,anybody have a good idea,,,:)

Hi everyone I am new to this forum I'm hoping for some good help. So I just acquired a Fostex mr8 and I was wondering how to set it up. I did some recordings but can't figure out how to turn on the metronome and if I mess up a part how to go back and fix it without redoing the whole track.

Hey everyone,

I have the Fostex Mr8 recorder and its making a weird heartbeat type sound when I turn the mic volume up. Only does this when I press record but not when I arm the track or tracks. Does this with both my SM57s and all cables. Also each time this sound is happening there is 'ACC' at the top right of display screen blinking after each sound I described. What could be the issue? Thanks.

I have a Fostex 2412 mixer (EU version) at home, and it is missing its power supply. I have searched over the web but nothing really comes up. Does any one know of a replacement or have one lying around they are not using?
attached is a photo of the power connection.

Thank you
Rune

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.
