Comments about Fostex MR-8 HD - 8 Track Digital Multi-track Recorder:
The 40 gig hard drive offers as much space as you will need .i can easily export the recorded tracks to my computer to do my editing by using any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software.
I only need it to record the raw audio,my computer does the rest.
my last small complaint is that there are no tone controls on the recorder but you can do a lot of editing after transfer your tracks to your computer .
Its a good size, light and easily transportable.
I highly recommend this recorder. It's easy to use, and the recordings sound great.
