The new Fostex MR-8 Mk II is the easiest to use digital multitrack ever.

If you can operate a tape recorder, you’ll be recording and multitracking within minutes of turning on the Fostex MR-8 Mk II. By putting all the major controls and functions right there on the top panel instead of buried in a confusing menu system, the Fostex MR-8 Mk II, unlike some other recorders, actually aids you in capturing your musical ideas. In addition there’s great sounding built-in digital effects, guitar amp and mic simulators, handy mix-down effects, plus the ability to hook up to a PC for data editing, and backing up your songs.
