I am new to the whole recording scene and have little knowledge with recording devices. This unit is fantastically user friendly, I learned how to operate the MR8-HD within an hour of reading the manual! Also not knowing anything about recording as I said I was scared the quality would be less than good because this unit is price lower than the other multi-track recorders, well I was proven wrong BIG time! The editing features are quite limited but that’s ok I just load the file easily to my PC into ACID Music studio and that solves all of my problems! In addition the fact that it is so portable means I can record any where I bring the unit! Over all this unit is great for those, like myself, who wish to record their work with great quality but can't afford the Pro equipment. Fostex has created a fantastic piece of equipment, Thanks Fostex! Oh also when you buy the MR8-HD, PURCHASE the warranty it will save you a lot of time and frustration!

Take it from someone who has ben doing home recordings for 15 years, this 8 track is the best quality recorder in its class. I've had mine for almost 2 years now, and I've recorded over 100 songs on it in that time. It still works and runs as perfectly as it did the day I bought it. Solid construction, simple to use, it's the perfect (and super affordable) home recorder. If you're looking for the best 8 track for the money, this is absolutely it.

This recorder with a music work station is a nice combination. For those that are not technically advance, I suggest you consider this recorder. So far I am very happy however.

A better up-grade

I have been using the Fostex MR8 for about 5 years, and the only thing I ever wished for was more recording time. (Flash card holds only 48 min). The MR8HD was the answer to my problems. 15 hours is plenty, and the "save song" option saves me from wasting my blank cds. Just like the original, you can't adjust trebble or bass on the inputs, but the positives outweigh the negatives by alot. Perfect for demo's.

I highly recommend this recorder. It's easy to use, and the recordings sound great. If you don't own a digital recorder yet, get this one. Even if you have no intentions of recording a CD, this machine will allow you to hear yourself so you can improve your sound.
