Hi Tim, I would set levels from the mixing desk. As I said in a previous
message, I now think that an hd recorder is an extravagance so I'll use my
old Tascam 4-track cassette for snap recordings.

Hi,
How are you setting levels when using either an HD recorder, or a tape-based
solution?
Cheers.
Tim

Jim,
From my experience in searching for an accessible 4-trackrecorder, I finally bit the bullet and settled for a cassette instead. The Tascam 414 does not depend on any menus and memorizing the switches is relatively easy. Also, they can still be purchased new.
I know this is not what you are wanting, and it was not what I was wanting,
either. But for what I'm doing I'm not worried about the usual problems
associated with a tape machine.
I was not able to find any machine either through this list nor by talking to several dealers, that I could feel that I could use the menu without a high risk of wiping out a lot of work.
My 2 cents.
Dave

Hello List,
I want to get a hard-disk multi-track recorder and I think I would like to go for the Foztex mr-8 hd. Its an entry level machine and from what I can gather from various web sites, is low on menus and high on proper pots and faders etc. Does any one on this list have experiences re hd recorders to share? Would appreciate some feedback. Best wishes.
