i keep seeing these for sale for under $300 all over the place, and I am wondering if anyone has ever used these for music/rock recording? it is almost tempting to pick one up to track some vocals or snare/kicks on them. but it is a waste of time? or are these valuable elements in a studio? i know the whole debacle on tape companies is uncertain as well...but I'm tempted...

would somebody hear be able to fill me in on the difference between the Alesis HD24 and the HD24XR hard disk recorders?

Hi. Is there a way to have multiple record lines from a patchbay? What I have are 2 CDR-700's, DAt, RTA tied to main L/R of mixer. BAsically I want to connect the devices with a common record source to the device in's..always active, kind of like a stereo receiver does with it's record line common to aux/tape sources.

I'm looking for someone familiar with the Tascam 2488 recorder. I am trying to assign the multi-effect to more than 1 input. When doing so, the first assigned multi-effect is muted. The recorder only lets me assign 1 input/channel only. How can I save the multi-effect to use on multiple channels? I am using the guitar effects when trying this.

I get a screen that says "Init Internal Hard drive" when i start it up. Then it goes to an initializing screen with and animation of a man hammering on a disc spinning. and it just stays there for hours n hours, days n days. I'm stumpped. I found a way to skip the initializ screen. but then i get into the system and i cant save ANYTHINg. cant start a new song, nothing can be " OK" 'd.

Is there a way to transfer .WAV files that were say recorded in Pro Tools LE onto my fostex mr-8?

Say like I recorded the bass and guitar at my friend's studio on Pro Tools, and then I want to finish the rest at my own home studio. Would I be able to put the wave on a DATA CD, and via USB put it on the mr-8?
