Comments about Fostex MR-8 HD/CD - 8 Track Digital Multi-track Recorder w/built-in CD burner:
I have owned this for about 6 months. This is a good recorder so far. It took a while to understand, mostly because if you have not used a digital recorder before, you will be thrown for a loop with the terms used in the instuctions.But after a lot of study an trial and error it does everything it says it does pretty well.The people who write the manual should write it as if they were explaining to a beginer, not a pro. It would do a lot better if it had an EQ or at least a tone control (which it has neither.) All in all if you have plenty of time to read and figure out the manual it is a 4 star recorder.
