As for the Card issue: The MRS8 does not support 2 GB.

"Hi everybody. I've been using the internal mic on my MRS-8 but im getting tired of it (picking up too much of the room etc). Can anybody help recommend me a good microphone that would suit my Zoom and give me good quality vocal track?

thank you"

The internal mic on the MRS-8 is great for "scratch tracks" or quick ideas, but not appropriate for critical recording.
Since the MRS-8 does not provide phantom power for condenser mics, you are limited to dynamics, unless you use phantom power from an external mixer or ad-hoc power supply like this http://www.zzounds.com/item--ARTPHANII
Large diaphram electret condeser and true condenser microphones are best suited to recording vocals, but you can achieve good results with dynamics as well.
I use an EV N/D767 http://www.zzounds.com/item--ELVND767A
for recording with the MRS-8 with great results. The advantage of this mic is that it's supercardioid pickup pattern is very "tight," thus effectively rejecting room noises and reflections from walls, etc. This mic also has a lot more "sparkle" in high frequencies compared to a Shure SM or Beta 58. Some users describe it's sound as very "condenser-ish!" Go to your local big-box music store and ask to try some dynamic vocal mics. They should be willing to patch a headphone mix for you to demo them. Ask them to keep all the mic EQ's flat on the console and then you can narrow your search by comparing a few at once. SING into the mics....speaking is not going to represent how you will use the mic.
Since everyone's voice is, in fact, a unique instrument, you will likely discover that one microphone over another may be better suited to your vocal timbre. Remember also that frequency responses change based on your proximity or distance from the microphone so use the same distance for each test.
Further note: Try using your clothes closet as a "vocal booth!" Both the acoustic dampening of the clothes and the isolation are sure to improve your vocal tracks!! When recording, remember to use a boom stand and pop filter when possible.

Hope this helps!!

I think you would have to define these other concepts separately. Besides, I think most people reading the guides would have some understanding of multitracking.
Maybe the most valuable topics might be how to get "the most" out of your MRS-8, etc.
I would like to post a primer on general recording techniques. These are essential to turning out a great recording.

Yes.

The bass is midi based, just like the Drums. The information is not transfered when using the card manager software. To get the bass on a real track you need to bounce

Hoping to get some animated demos up soon. something I'm working on.... until then, heres the quick guide:

Mute everything but the Bass.
Pick a spare channel and make the status key red.
press the Bounce button so it lights up red.
rewind to beginning.
press record then play.
listen and wait for finish.
press stop.
PRESS THE BOUNCE BUTTON SO THE LIGHT GOES OUT.

bingo!
