Hello all -
I realize this is a "pro" discussion forum, so please don't laugh too loudly
at my question....
I'm looking for something low-end to use as a multitrack recorder/sketchpad
that offers "fair-to-middlin'" (certainly not "pro") quality, for home use only.
I was considering either a used minidisc multitrack deck like the Yamaha MD-8
(these can be had for very attractive prices these days), or a CompactFlash
type recorder like the Fostex MR-8.
I already use consumer-level MD for recording music off the radio, internet,
and tv, and like the format (even though it's a niche market here in the US).
I realize MD is a "lossy" format, but it still sounds pretty good to my
(aging) ears.
Granted, the Fostex is a more modern format, but the Yamaha MD-8 looks to be a
more featured unit, nicely laid out.
I'm leaning towards the MD-8. Any reason why the Fostex would be a better choice?
Thanks,
- John
