The MR-8HD CD is one of the easiest to use digital multitracks ever—if you can operate a tape recorder, you'll be recording and multitracking within minutes of opening the box. All the essential controls are right where you need them with no confusing menus to wade through. You turn real knobs and slide real faders. It has four-track simultaneous record with mic and guitar amp simulation, reverb, delay, and mastering effects.

The MR8-HD CD features 4 balanced XLR/1/4" jack inputs with phantom power. You can record up to 8 tracks at a time at 16-bit/44.1kHz—uncompressed CD quality—to the internal hard drive, then master and bounce all 8 tracks and record some more. Each dual mic/line input has it's own level control and clip LED. There's a dedicated guitar input with its own analog distortion and control on channel one. All channels feature a 45mm volume fader and dedicated controls for pan and external FX send.The USB interface and the WAV file recording make it a snap to transfer recordings to/from a PC for further editing or CD duplication.
