Hi there,

I am doing some recording right now using a Boss BR600 which I'm guessing is a similar type of unit to the Fostex you have.

Believe me, when it comes to techy stuff I'm like a really slow snail going up hill but even I have managed to get through ok.

This has 8 actual tracks and each one a further 8 virtual tracks. That's a lot of tracks if needed. All I do is add effects, pan the sounds around within the unit and then bounce it down to tracks 7/8 for the stereo mix.

This is then exported via USB cable to the computer where I then convert the WAV files into MP3 files.

Believe me, if I can do it, I'm sure you can.

Also, I can use the red/white outs from the Boss into the red/white ins on the computer and use the computer's sound system as a monitor.

Good luck, Gordon.
