Fostex Review: X-24 Multi-Track Recorder

Fostex Multitrack Recorders



History:

Purchase: I purchased the unit on the net from Musician's Friend for #299.00 to make some tapes on my progress in learning to play the classical guitar

What I Like About This Fostex X-24 Multi-Track Recorder: The unit with Dolby does provide an excellent sound quality tape and becasue of the multi-tack feature, I was able to record some duet-type etudes and pieces.

What I Do NOT Like About The Fostex X-24 Multi-Track Recorder: I am having trouble converting the type 2 aaudio cassette to one that I can play on my car cassette player. I need to find out how I can do that. I am not well-diciplined in the field of home recording.

Fostex X-24 Multi-Track Recorder Quality Rating: The construction seems excellent. The mic Input is not a pre-amp mic but it can be deceiving at first-- it must be cranked up quite a bit.



Review Summary: All in all---I probably should have purchased something more simple and easy to make a regular cassette BUT----I am still learning.

Rating of this Fostex product: 4
