The Fostex DMT-8 Digital Hard Disk Recorder/Editor

With eight tracks of true, 16-bit, 44.1kHz CD quality recording direct to hard disk, the Fostex DMT-8 Digital Multitracker gives you all the fabulous features and advantages of non-destructive editing - like cut, copy, paste, undo and redo plus jog and shuttle controls - in one shockingly affordable package. With a list price of just $1995, the DMT-8 is the lowest priced hard disk recorder on the market today!

But with the DMT-8, you not only get all the advantages of hard disk recording, you also get a familiar, user-friendly analog in-line mixer. That's right, an 8-in/4-bus out mixer with 16 channel returns for a full 22 inputs available at mixdown. There's a separate stereo monitor out, a large 2" x 7" fluorescent display with comprehensive status indication. In short, all the flexibility and convenience you've come to expect in a mixer, without the added price tag that comes with having to buy a separate unit.

The mixer's channel strip has two inputs: main and SUB. The SUB function enables monitoring of recorded tracks during a recording, or it can be used as a separate line input during mixdown. Channels 1 through 4 also have the addition of a "wide-range" trim fader for perfect mic level matching. The DMT-8's mixer even includes fully parametric equalization (Hid Mid at 1kHz�16kHz nd Low Mid at 60Hz�1kHz, each plus or minus 15dB) plus two AUX sends (dual function rotary pots enable SUB or post-fader main input to be selected as the send source).

The DMT-8 has a built-in metronome with eleven time signatures, full tempo control and MIDI clock output with Song Position Point-er. You can even locate to bars and beats in your recording. In fact, the DMT-8 is ready for total integration into your MIDI studio with MIDI Time Code output, MIDI Machine Control (you can control the transport right from your software sequencer), non-linear editing based on either MTC or MIDI clock plus "after-the-event" sync of recorded audio to sequenced MIDI using the built-in tempo map.

Of course, the biggest plus to recording with a hard drive is its random access, non-destructive editing, meaning you can cut, copy and paste parts anywhere in your composition without ever touching your original tracks.
