{"product_id":"42551","title":"Fostex VF08","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fostex VF08 is a compact digital 8-track hard disk recorder designed to bring affordable multitrack recording to home studios and songwriters. Recording at 16-bit\/44.1kHz to its internal 5.1GB hard drive, it offers eight audio tracks plus 16 virtual tracks per song, delivering a significant jump in clarity, fidelity and reliability compared to cassette-based multitrackers. Despite its small footprint, it includes balanced XLR inputs with phantom power, S\/PDIF digital I\/O, onboard effects, scene automation and a straightforward workflow that makes recording ideas, demos and overdubs quick and intuitive. While only two tracks can be recorded simultaneously, this is unlikely to be a limitation for solo artists and small-scale productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VF08's strengths lie in its portability, ease of use and solid audio quality, but some compromises were made to keep costs down. The onboard mixer is fairly basic, offering preset-based EQ rather than fully adjustable controls, and the single internal effects processor means users may need to commit effects during recording rather than at mixdown. There are no insert points or auxiliary sends for external processors, and MIDI functionality is limited. Even so, the recorder itself is highly capable, with reliable punch-in recording, simple editing tools, scene automation and excellent digital sound quality. For musicians looking for an affordable, self-contained songwriting or demo production workstation, the VF08 remains a practical and capable recorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes original owners manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"itemspec\"\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 42551\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMake:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor%3AFostex+AND+tag%3Avisible\"\u003eFostex\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=VF08+AND+tag%3Avisible\"\u003eVF08\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/gear-condition-key\" class=\"fs-product-condition fs-product-condition-verygood\"\u003eVery Good\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCategories:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=tag%3Apro-audio+AND+tag%3Avisible\"\u003epro-audio\u003c\/a\u003e ⇒ \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=tag%3Aportable-recorders+AND+tag%3Avisible\"\u003eportable-recorders\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYear:\u003c\/b\u003e 2000s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMPN:\u003c\/b\u003e 42551\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fostex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47768004329708,"sku":"42551","price":249.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2604\/0858\/files\/Fostex_VF08_sku_42551_MPN_2.jpg?v=1782023047","url":"https:\/\/foundsound.com.au\/products\/42551","provider":"Found Sound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
