Akai DR4-VR or Fostex D80/90 ?
hello
i was going to buy an Akai DR4D until i found out about Fostex D80/90 having 8 tracks for the same price. i have an offer for a DR4-VR with the midi card and the internal 540mb HD for 400 euros. (i dropped the price from 450 to 400. i still think it's expensive but that's the price in france). now i see i can have a 8 track DTD Fostex D80 or D90 for the SAME price. it has : - 8 RCA in / 8 RCA out (i would have prefered balanced jack) - D80: 850 Meg hard drive standard. (approx. 18 min. record time.) - D90: 2.5 Gig hard drive standard. (approx. 60 min. record time.) - D80: 18 bit, 64Xoversampling, Dig-to-analog converters. - D90: 20 bit, 128xoversampling, - D80: 44.1 kHz sampling rate only. - D90: 44.1 and 48 kHz sampling rates selectable. are the fostex's AD good ? as good as the DR4-VR one ? i guess the fostex don't have virtual tracks ? what is good/bad with those machines ? (if i'd get one i'd probably get the D90) (i don't consider buying a DR8 because it's more expensive) thanks again matthieu |

I think the Fostex will sound fine The DR4 sounds a bit expensive to me. Thanks David |
