Excellent engineering!

Comments about Fostex CR500 CD-R/RW Master Recorder:

This is exactly what I had been waiting for in my studio. I took the plunge with the price and I expected nothing less because of it. I work with as much outboard gear as I can before my music gets dumped into a computer. I have made recordings on computers in the pro studio...so I'm not saying computers are bad, I just don't prefer them. This piece of gear is an excellent way to put my music on CD so I can check out how it sounds in the car right after I finish with my creative sessions on the main rig. I like the hands on of the outboard gear as it helps me get an idea of each step in the recording process right in front of my eyes. It has also forced me to learn about each step of the process and not rely on software to "fix" my mix. I got my CR500 recorder yesterday, and had it installed in my rack with a .wav file burned and uploaded to my computer media players in less than 15 minutes. Really, I just set the levels, hit record, hit eject then enter, and I had a professional quality copy of my mix. It really was that easy. Thanks Fostex, please keep producing excellent outboard gear, computers require too much upgrading and maintenance for a studio application. That's not the wagon I ride on! I want to create, engineer, and produce from a hands-on (creative) perspective.
