Product Detail

Fostex MR8HD 8-Track Digital Recorder with 40GB Hard Drive
Fostex MR 8

Overview
The Fostex MR-8 is a versatile solid-state memory recorder that offers 8-tracks of recording on the very popular CompactFlash card media.

Design
Fostex's design goal for the MR-8 was to create a digital multitrack recorder with unprecedented ease of operation for musicians who want digital recording and superb sound quality, but also offers the simplicity of their favorite old analog machine. Nearly all the functions of the MR-8 are on the physical knobs and buttons of the top panel. User frustration caused by having to flip through pages and pages of LCD menus, is not an issue with the MR-8.

Simplicity
While the MR-8 may be simple to operate, all the features and functions expected from digital recorders in today's market are present: on-board digital effects, guitar amp/microphone simulators, digital bouncing, auto punch in/punch out, etc. Communication with a PC is provided via the MR-8's standard built-in USB port making it easy for data editing, CD-burning, and file backup.

This is one serious demo-making machine for songwriters or bands. Start recording your songs with the MR8HD!

"GREAT PRODUCT!!" by Andrew Friestad

My friend just bought the Fostex MR 8 HD and it is amazing! There is many low impedance inputs for microphones that no other recorder in this price range has. That is very helpful to get a better sound. The features are nice too. The effects are great and it sounds great when I put on my computer. BUY THIS RECORDER!

"Just buy it, there's nothing like it" by Eric Ferreri

For the money there's nothing that compares to it. It's like a 4-track cassette only it's a huge hard drive. You can't fill it up. The quality is excellent as long as your input is! For live mic recording at gigs it's the best. For mixing and mastering it's simple and intuitive. A brief reading of the manual gets you there. If you want more, read more. The ONLY thing that threw me was a lack of tone controls. But if your original signal is good then no problem. Hooking up external EQ's, effects for each channel is very easy if you want it. Hands down a great deal. It really is a great tool.

"Practical, Affordable and just plain Awsome." by Royce Lee

The one this I was worried about most when ordering consoles such as this one is the ease of use. This was not a problem at all with the Fostex MR-8. The manual clearly tells you step by step on how to create your first recording, it took a mere 5 minutes to understand how it worked and soon enough I got it to sound just like my live sound. Whether itÆs a solo instrument or 4 tracks at a time, you will definitely not go wrong with this thing.
