Fostex MR-8HD

— Jon McDonald August 24, 2006

The Fostex MR-8HD does everything that home musicians could possibly want, and still has some features that will surprise you like the professional- quality clic-track feature. For sheer versatility it is a winner.

Ideal for building up a track at a time where you play everything yourself (we've all been there), or for a band/small group wanting to capture a live performance or create a demo.

With so many features and professional-type effects built-in and easily accessed you need look no further when it comes to choosing a digital recorder.

With a keyboard or synth plugged in you can build up layers of effects and ambient moods a track at a time so easily that you have to be disciplined no to over-do it. Overdubbing of guitar/ vocals/ harmony etc. then follows leading to a professional-sounding result.

Edit or re-do anything if you make a mistake, even removing a single wrong note or wrong word is possible. Only a short time for a session? no problem, the 'work in progress' can be saved to the MR-8's hard disk and returned to any time later.

Getting the track onto your PC is simple, as is the final stage of burning to CD. I use Nero software to add final mastering touches and burn CDs, it is highly compatible.

The tactile faders and knobs are a welcome feature as they feel 'real' giving a hands-on, almost retro feeling during recording, for perfect fades and cues for dubbing musical phrases/choruses onto the final mix.

One feature I particularly like is the the MR8 works with all the gear you probably already have, guitar Fx units included and it can be played as a sound source through the mic. input of your home audio system as a alternative to earphones.
