Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | I did some searching here for recording my practice sessions and playback capabilities. All I found was this. .
I thought I found a solution on 'CL' with a Fostex MR8 for $85. But no response.
So, any recommendations as how to start out slow and see if I catch the home studio fever? BTW, I do have a Casio keyboard w/ MIDI thats still in the box. At some point I would to mix that in also.
And yes I googled the topic, but most, if not all, results were beyond my meager desires.
TIA! |

Location: Pewaukee, WI | I just upgraded my old Boss BR-8 to a Fostex MR16HD; go for the MR8 with the 40 gig hard drive; I've heard that the CF cards don't hold much. Around $250 and you're set; if you don't use it you sell it for $200 (or, if you bought it at MF you can send it back within 30 days). |

There are tons of threads on this board about home recording. Try just searching for "recording" and see what you turn up. |

| A few months ago I posted some clips I recorded & a couple people asked for help in setting up to record on their computers. I put together a basic tutorial that should get you started if you want to go that route. HTH. |

No kidding you can achieve some great recordings at home without spending an arm and a leg.
Unless of course you want to boost the economy. :D |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | g8r,
BINGO! That's what I was looking for! Gr8 job! That should keep me out of trouble for a while. :p
Thanx from a 'Noles' fan! :D
mattsmith ,
I know 'bout slippery slopes! After a 33 year guitar hiatus I purchased a beach git thirteen months ago. Now look at my sig line. :eek: That's not counting my 'others'...
So if g8r's tutorial scratches my itch, watch out! ;) Don't go away. I have a feeling I'll be back... |
