Product Reviews for Fostex MR8HD 8-Track Hard Disk Recorder
Feature: Actually four mono tracks and two stereo tracks. You don't have eight independent mono tracks as the name might imply, but with a little planning you can do most of what you need for nice quality demos. Four simultaneous inputs is great in this price range. The editing functions are great and fairly powerful. The autopunch function is wonderful for someone like me who makes a few mistakes here and there - very easy to fix them. I can occasionally hear a slight click on the individual track when I punch in/out, but it hasn't been noticeable in the final mix. 40GB of hard drive space is more than enough.
Quality: Built fairly sturdy. I have read some comments on the MR-8 where people claim the buttons wear out. I assume this has the same buttons but am not sure. I've only had mine for a couple of weeks so too early to tell.
Value: I think this is a great unit for the money.
Desirability: I bought it and am glad I did.
Sound: Very good sound quality for the money. Reverbs and amp simulations are OK, except for the distortion, which is not so good. I would have rather had EQ built in than all the effects, since I will mostly use my own effects.
Support: Haven't had to use it.
