Dave Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hi All, After reading the recent post showing the photoshop mockup of a Sound Devices 302 mixer with a built-in 3 track recorder, it got me thinking : The Fostex DC-R302 that I have is a 3 input to stereo recorder. From a technical standpoint, how hard do you think it would it be for Fostex to increase the track count from stereo to 3 or 4 tracks? This would be a cool upgrade if at all possible :-) Would this be a software tweak or be limited by the hardware? The meters only show left and right but maybe a software workaround? Thought I'd run it by you guys before checking in with Fostex. Thanks very much. Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Waldron Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 No, my dear Senator.. you have it backwards. The collective wisdom and experience of members on this forum supersedes any single manufacture knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I think the OP should send a letter to Fostex and ask for what he wants. My guess is that they'll consider it and send back a polite but non-commital response. If enough people ask for an MT R302 then they'll consider making one--they COULD do it tomorrow if they thought they'd sell enough of them to make a good profit. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johngooch Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 My guess it that the request will fall on deaf ears. It certainly seems like they have left the production sound market.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 My guess it that the request will fall on deaf ears. It certainly seems like they have left the production sound market.... Yes, they pretty much have exited or world --- I'm not missing Fostex one bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
