FOSTEX MR8 Details
The Fostex MR8 is
the first solid-state memory recorder in the industry that offers 8-tracks
of recording on the very popular CompactFlash card media. The MR
8 comes with
a very competitive price point, especially compared to the current digital
4-track memory recorders already on the market. Fostex's design goal for
the Fostex 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 MR8.
While the Fostex 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.
