i have a fostex mr-8 hd/cd and to be honest, the level of hiss and recording quality, even on non miced up instruments (electric guitar) is fucking shocking for whats meant to be a good 8-track.
anyone else had this problem?

I've got a zoom mrs-802 with cd. Got to say, the level of hiss is non-existenet when I plug electric guitatar straight into the recorder. I'm pretty satisfied with the results I'm getting. I use mics for recording vocals(obviously) and sometimes guitar and now piano and I find that the mixing and your recording levels(obviosuly) goes a long way to determining how much hiss you hear. Ins hort, keep experimenting! You don't need a £80 000 000 record deal to record great music! Good songs help though!
Also I've experimented this weekend with recording my old rickety piano and again I've found that the mix goes a long way to determining what you want to hear and what you dont want to hear. Although ultimately I'm aiming for the recording quality that Lennon and Spectre got at the start of 'Imagine'. More experimentation needed methinks!
