Hi all, this is my first post. I've been doing some recording basically on my 4 track for awhile now. But I want to go digital. What I want is the Fostex MR-8HD...

My MR-8 doesn't seem to want to recognize my CompactFlash card. Each time I turn on the console, it says: "Card Error - Error 09." The MR-8 manual doesn't specify anything about card errors.
Does anyone know what I could do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

please advice about quality of this unit, i can buy this as recorder for my mixes. i use hardware samplers, analog mixer. i compose/produse electronic music - breaks/dub/ambient/experimental.
thanx.

Well this is my first time experimenting with recording so I'm a NOOB.

I am using adobe audition 1.5, a soundblaster audigy Z2S sound card, and a regular stand-up mic I found around my house(no mixer because I'm cheap!)

Well the first question is how can i edit my voice recording to sound the best it could possibly sound with the equipment at my disposal?

Hi!
I'm thinking about hanging around recording sounds (animals, cars, noises, whatever) to try and play with them. And so i need a portable recorder... 2 tracks ought to be enough (mono or stereo miking), and needs to be plain simple to use.
I was thinking about a minidisc... any suggestions?
By the way, can I use other mics than those designed for the minidisc?

I've never dealt with portable recorders so I could use some advice. All I need is 1-2 channels with built in mic preamp's and a monitor out put. It has to be able to record 1-2 hours of audio at a time. It doesn’t need to be high quality just clean. I just want to record the pasture doing his sermon at church.

I've been meaning to ask about Nagra for a while.

Of course DAvid is a user (didn't you post that wonderful piano recording a while back using your Nagra and AMEK 9098?). Sorry if I'm wrong.

On the few occasions I've been in the presence of Nagra gear I've been gob-smacked.

Hi,

Just wondering if I should be putting some sort of extra gain control device with limiter function between the send from my mixer and my CD-recorder? I had something like the Behringer mic100 in mind, except I'd need two - one for left & right, right?

Any comments would be appreciated.

I have been reasearching for about 2 months now and after pretty much deciding on a Dual 1.8GHz Power Mac (I would add about a gig of ram), an Mbox w/Pro Tools, and probably Reason, someone has turned me onto the idea of just getting a nice digital recorder instead.

Hi,

I'm looking at the Tascam RW-750 and the HHB CDR-830 for recording a send from my mixer - both units have unbalanced RCA inputs. The recorder will sit right next to the mixer so the cable run will only be short. I was wondering if it is worth spending the extra money to get a unit with balanced inputs...

Any comments/advice would be appreciated.

Ian.
