Emax

emax1 eh? I have one too ,and let me say, those things 
are 20+ year old technology - 512k was considered a good amount
of memory in the mid-80s -your lucky that emax even works!


my emax needs the power supply replaced, anyone know where I can get 
one REALLY cheap? otherwise Ill have to get one from EPC inc. for $80


use EMX and soundforge for editing and record your emax to something 
like logic audio for use in your songs, then you can just keep 
piling on emax tracks,because its being multitracked to your PC ( or 
mac )
