Fostex MR8 mkII digital audio recorder
By Kirk Jennings
The bottom line is that this little machine is easy to operate and makes very good recordings. At the price it's probably a bargain. After using it for many hours and a number of recording sessions I have these comments:1. The LCD display should be raised and tilted toward the user. You can't see the display when seated. If you want to monitor recording levels, etc., you must stand all the while you're recording.2. The control knobs and the track fader sliders feel cheap and flimsy. For example, you can easily wiggle the knobs side to side. Also the track fader sliders should have more built-in friction to prevent accidental movement. They move too easily.3. The Owner's Manual, while in general well written and easily understood, needs to be reviewed and edited by someone who understands, reads, and writes perfect English. There are a number of important explanations in the manual that are hard to follow and/or understand due to the odd use of words.4. This modestly priced machine will tend to be purchased and used by amateurs who know little about digital recording. As such, it should be clearly noted in the Owner's Manual that when the instructions for recording are followed exactly, the MR8 mkII produces digital recordings peaking about 4 to 5 dB below -0dB. This level of audio will not create an audio file or burn a CD that sounds 'loud' enough, and the manual should make this clear. The manual should go on to explain that digital recordings typically need to be 'normalized' to -0dB and that this requires the use of a digital audio editor (like the free but excellent Audacity software).

By J. Ballard
I purchased the MR8-mkII with some trepidation. However, I've grown to appreciate the technical expertise and real world practicality of the product. Should the power go out, the back up batteries work as advertised. The sound quality with the headphones is superb. The various sound combinations and recording quality far exceeded my expectations. The only real fault I find with the MR8 is the documentation which accompanies the product. It's very hard to follow, and is ambiguous (at least for me). However, the product is superb, and I highly recommend it for musicians or others who need great sound reproduction.

First time recording, Easy and good quality
By Josh C.
Right out of the box I was recording, The booklet is wordy and confusing as all instruction manuals are, but with some fiddling Your good to go. If you want to record some solo acoustic stuff, I highly reccomend this recorder. Do your research, know what mics to use when. Having never recorded before I'm experiencing certain mixing problems, but thats only for lack of knowledge. This device is easy to use, fun to experiment with and has started me on my path of home recording. If your a recording noob, the MR8 is for you.
