Just joined last month and have already found some useful tips. What I'm trying to sort now is what's my best option for a monitor in place of using...
Hey Justin! There are a couple of ways to go. How close are you going to be to the speakers? How is your budget. At work we use Fostex 6301s. They allow us...
I just got a MR4 4track off e-bay and I'm slowly learning the ropes. One thing I found was that I can bypass the on-board gtr efx and use my gtr processor's...
Yes, you should be able to do that. I run my amp to my 16 track. But, remember to keep your master volume/gain low. I keep it like at 2. I also run my guitar...
Hello all. Im new to this group and new to digital recording. I recently bought a used MRS 4 and I am really happy with the sound quality. I got the official...
I also own an MRS4, and here's my perspective: Although it looks like a very simple device, both the MRS4 and its big brother the MRS 8 are capable of...
Thanks for the offer of help. Like i said, I am new to recording in general and digital recording specifically. What does "mixdown" mean? And how, when and why...
Welcome! "Mixdown" means mixing your individually recorded tracks to a stereo output track. Here's where all separate instruments and vocals come together to...
For mixdown my MRS4 manual sez to connect the MRS4 to DAT or minidisc. I don't have those. Can't I just connect the MRS4 output into the line-in/or mic jack of...
You can do exactly that. It's what I do. But use "Line In" and never "Mic In" ... the quality will be much better. The MRS-4 is not capable of CD-quality sound...
When I had a MRS-4 I would do my tracks on it then use a card reader a the zoom card manager to convert the tracks to .wav files then you can import them into...
Hi, Now that we've come to Audacity: who uses this program for mixdown? I use it for a final touch in mastering the output stereo WAV file, like amplification...
I've used it for cleaning up some noise on a live recording and messed with some mastering effects but I use SONAR 6XL now and have been real happy with it....
I use Audacity for mixdown, both in Windows and Ubuntu Studio. Depending a lot on your hardware configuration, it can do all that good real-time stuff IF you...
Good morning! Just wondering what made everyone go with the Zoom. I'm considering both at this time and heard both are great. Sounds like drums on the MRS8...

Hi Chris, I was thinking the same as you two years ago. I bought the Zoom, so I'm not totally unbiased ;-) Here are some comments I dug up from that time: In...
Both are good units. You can't go far wrong with either unit. I own an MRS-8, and a fellow band member owns a BR600. These are my limited thoughts on the...
Thanks all!! Just picked up the Zoom a few minutes ago, and all your advice helped. Between being priced $100 better, and easier to program, that was the ...
Saul, I purchased my Zoom MRS-8 through eBay and was very satisfied with my experience. Sellers have two conditions they can list, used or new. My unit was...
I use Audacity for several tasks; dc bias removal, increase track amplification level (I tend to record at low levels for some reason), pitch change, tempo...
Just did the exact same thing yesterday. Was thinking of getting one used, but figured for Sam Ash's blowout price that I'd rather have a new one, not worry...
Hi, I'm thinking about upgrading from PC speakers to small active monitors; I found some nice couples to choose from, with a 4 or 5" woofer and an 1" tweeter....
Ok. So I'm looking at this verses the BR600, and price IS a factor. One of the complaints I have read about the MRS8 is the drum sounds are cheap. I know I'm...
Hi all, i'm not having any luck recording through a mic with this -802. do i need a better mic-i'm using an old shure or do i need to use a mixer and then go...
Hello, I think the MRS-8's drum sounds don't sound that great out-of-the-box. I'm familiar with the programming now... Lately I have been experimenting with...
