And......... 15 years later the drive took a dive on me. Actually I haven't used this D16 in years due to moving to Pro Tools, but now my kids are playing music and messing around with my old stuff. The D16 had been out in the garage for a while and the drive made horrible screeching noises...

I have two questions 1) what is the smallest midi keyboard controller with full size keys available. I would like to have a very small (two octaves or so) keyboard to connect to my alesis micropiano. This would be nice to take to jams at other peoples houses (the best kind of jams). 2) Are...

go ahead Why not? We have to have fun sometimes. Through the years I have tried all kinds of whacky things from radioshack. Recording acoustics through lapel mics, using pzm boundary mics mounted on plexiglass for drum overheads, and my favorite, I once put a 20 year old radioshack highball...

I was wondering what the scsi connection on my d160 does. Can I hook an external scsi cdr directly to the d160? Otherwise, what is this connection used for? Thanks

Come on, am I the only guy on the planet to use these mics. Look like a 57 but are shiny silver. I have picked up a stack of these over the years for dirt cheap and use them for drum mics. Sound good to me. I tested them against a 57 and can't tell a great difference. I have always been...

Yeah, I was in your shorts not too long ago. I got a used G4 and a Delta 1010 and bought Cakewalk Metro, the mac version of Cakewalk. I was confused as hell and got nowhere. Dude, I bit the bullet, swallowed my pride and got protools le with digi001. I was making music in a couple of...

I have a d16 and use it alot for remote location recording. The d1600 has the same major problem that the d16 has - no adat in/out. If Korg added this feature, they would really open up the market for those, like me, who like to record remotely and then dump eight tracks at a time to a...

I think the d160v2 is a great buy right now. I got mine from musician's friend for $799 ( they emailed an incorrectly priced advertisement and I made them honor it). I use mine for remote recording. It fits nicely into a rack with a 16 channel line mixer for monitoring and a couple of...

Thanks Ausrock and Skippy. You guys have been a lot of help, especially since the fostex manual is a little cryptic. Yeah, Skippy, I think maybe you are right about the board. I was recording remotely on some guy's fostex mixer and we had to monitor through the same channels as the inputs. I...

I wanted to give my new Fostex d160 a good workout, so I recorded sixteen drum tracks at a remote location for a local band in two days. We tracked the drums on six mics while using the remaining two tracks for dry mono bass and dry mono electric guitar. Recording chain was guitar/bass -...

I'm with you Faithmonster. I use Protools le/digi001 on a mac g4. The ease of use and intuitive nature of protools and other features make this a great package. Before I ordered Protools, I was all caught up in the "protools hating crew" also. I thought (and still think) that digidesign...

Got my d160 recently. Layed down eight drum tracks the first day out. However, I seem to be having trouble dubbing the rest of the tracks. I have drums on tracks 1-8. I then make track 9 "record ready" and and start recording a guitar, but instead of the guitar, it seems to be putting what's...

Went ahead and got a new D-160v2 for remote recording. Great deal - $799 new from Musician's Friend (had to kind of talk them into it). I haven't fired it up yet, but I did crack open the drive caddy. Voila! I think the thing shipped with a 30 gig quantum hard drive. The ad said it shipped...

Ok Skippy, I see now that you are talking about exterior noise. I thought you meant noise associated with the recordings. Hiss, white noise, THD etc. Yeah, I can deal with noisy fans etc. I record in a very small studio with a mac g4, so I am getting quite creative with foam pads etc for...

Whooooaaaaa, Skippy!!!! I was wondering just what these "minor acoustical noise problems" are? Also, you say they are easily dealt with. How's that? I was really sold on getting either an 824 or 1624, but I would like to know what these noise problems are first. Also, I have a chance to buy...

Skippy, Thanks for your informative reply. The 1624 sounds great for a primary tracker.

Skippy, I agree with havoc; the Fostex website is a little short on info. I am thinking about getting a 1624 for recording remote tracks and then dumping to mac/protools back at the studio (AKA my basement). My questions: 1) How many tracks will the 1624 record at once (via analog I/O)? Is...

I have used a D16 for almost two years and have been very happy with it. I upgraded the harddrive myself (korg said it couldn't be done) and have recorded many projects with it. I mainly use a mac g4 with protools LE now, but the Korg still comes in handy for recording tracks remotely and...

I use digi001/PTLE on a mac g4 400mhz. The thing one must do is concentrate on all the stuff you do get for $800, not be bitter about the features you don't get. For instance, digidesign intentionally limited PTLE to 24 tracks and intentionally took out smpte timeline. But, I find I can do...

It would be nice to have one here. I have heard talk of it, but I have been away for a while and don't know the status. Best one I've seen is at egroups.com. Search for d16 and you will probably find it.
