Fostex Digital Multrack-studios

Long & McQuade, Vancouver Canada $1900 CF Rugedness, sound, compressor on (6) tracks digital - built in, effects on all 16 tracks - 8 virtual tracks for a total of 24 - 14 hours of recording - phantom power If it had a Yamaha or Roland label it would attract more reviews Mega! This is an excellent unit. I am very surprised there aren't more reviews on the internet. Fostex previously came out with the CR200 - an excellent unit with bullet proof construction and shielded with copper. It was discontinued because other fancy CDR's came out which weren't as well built but had more bells and whistles. This unit rivals the new Yamaha but costs less than 1/2 as much.

Dosent have a whole lot of effects built in, but it does have a usb connector so i just take the files off there and add effects with cooledit. Price paid: $250 USD UTILIZATION Super easy to use. SOUNDS Sounds great. 2 xlr inputs and two 1/4 inch inputs all sound really nice. In the headphones there a little bit of noise but it's not on the actual recording, just the headphones. OVERALL OPINION Havent had any real problemsa with mine other then on of the buttons broke, i ghetto rigged it so it works. Been trying to get ahold of someone at fostex to get replacement buttons but no luck yet Its a really easy to use digital 8 track, even though its more like a digital 6 track casue 4 of the channels are split into 2 dedicated mixdown channels, you can still record on them only on the left or right channell, if you want stero you take up two tracks, other then that a great piece of euipment.
