Item was pretty much as described. Came in good used condition. I wish the seller would have mentioned a little more detail of the condition of the PS5 such as the dust build up and small marks near the front usb ports. Other than that the experience was great. The PS5 was packaged very well and the seller made sure to package it in a way to make sure the item would not get damaged during shipment. The sellers communication was great as well!! Overall I am pleased with my purchase. Thank you :)

  • Fostex MR-8 MK II - Good quality, has some drawbacks

    My band has been looking for a multi-track recorder so that we can finally but some decent quality samples on our website. This recorder got solid reviews on other sites and being an older generation version, the price was a steal. We just want a basic recorder, that can be transferred to a hard drive and allows for some file manipulation. Laying down tracks was a pretty straightforward, once we read the manual. You MUST read the manual, especially if you are new to recording like we are. The only drawback so far is transferring the file, whether the individual tracks or the layered song file, to the pc. Connection was painfully slow, it took almost 10 minutes for my xp to recognize the connection. Once the connection was established, the file transfer was also slow. Most likely ...

  • Hands on recorder

    I've had my fostex for 10 years now and im pretty happy with it. I had to replace the button cart a few years ago when one of the buttons snapped off (and you can't replace just one button) but other than that, it's worked great for 10 years. I have experimented with different sized compact flash cards over the years, going as high as 32gb, but the 8gb-16gb work best. It really depends on the brand: I don't recommend sandisk ultra, I've had bad luck with those. I can't imagine using just a 2gb card tho. Also, there are only 2 xlr inputs so miking has to be planned around that ( or use an external board). As I am generally only multi tracking myself, I rarely need more than 2 mics anyway (I like using only 2 in the drums anyway). The built in reverbs sound very digital, but the ...

  • Fostex MR-8 Mk2 Digital Multi Track Recorder

    These are great little machines for what they do. You can mix and add effects to up to 8 tracks over two sessions, more than enough room to be creative. You have lots of choices for room echo and amp stacks, as well as auotpunch to help clean up tracks after you lay them down. They are very sensitive to shock however, and it always seems to be the mother board that malfunctions. I have used two, and got good results until they stopped working. They both had bad motherboards, so, i couldn't scrounge the two to make one. I will keep buying them as long as they are available, and I'm learning to carry them around and store them in a well protected case. I was an ASCAP songwriter for 19 years, and these little babies produce tracks as good as any studio I ever used, without leaving home. If ...

  • Very nice recorder

    I checked and reviewed several different types of recorders. For the money this was the best thing. Some issues with transfer of songs to PC, but could be PC. I upgraded SW on recorder to latest level, easy to use once you understand the basics. I record on it, but mix my music on the PC where it's easier to manipulate. Only real issue is length of recordings are limited to size of media card which is 2Gb max. I had 2 card and swap during a very long session. I also break each song apart and this takes a vew seconds to do between songs.
