Why? If you want to do market research here why don't you at least come clean and state who you work for.

Right On Tex:
Before you do any new boxes, start writing manuals that are organized, succinct, and not directed at engineers. Can't understand why there is so much hassle to set up tracks. Like, make it simple. Record tracks 1 and 2, add reverb program 3 to track one but don't record it. Push button and go. Green Hornet ![]() |

this board is all about researching stuff. and there are some really nifty search engines out there. just maybe someones takin' some heat here that isn't deserving of it and really has a sincere question (or maybe i'm just losin' it). kind of interesting at times to type a members name into google and see what pops up !! occasionally a question takes on a different interpretation if not asked like we're used to hearing.
r e s e a r c h !!! i've got a Korg D1600 i'm just learning to use. Great sound and easy to figure out with the manual. Korg has come out with new improved units with even more features. lots of stuff in these boxes at a decent price point. and great support at the korgboards.com (you already know that...). can't make any comparisons except to digitally recording with a PC which i didn't really care for (not portable). skyy38, have I done my homework or am I one sandwich short of a picnic ?....>>> "a digital video of a barn(y)ard in the yukon" |

Many will be happy to help you but this hiding and leading people thing is getting old. Just come out and be done with it. ou so obviously work for a corporation so give it up, what position do you have? I guess that would make your leading of unsuspecting hobby recordists a bit harder. What you are doing is transparent and wrong. People come here for advice from users and you have not as far as I know ever posted your music but you tell everyone to buy Casio stuff constantly...that is evil wrong. |

I have a George Foreman grille, and it does everything from kabobs to tenderloins, and it's on this nifty little incline so gravity causes the fat to drain out.
The unfortunate side in all of this is that, in their quest to deliver a leaner, more health-conscious steak, a lot of the meat's natural juices are also sacrificed as they are drained along with the fat. I think a better idea would be to devise some method by which the fat can run off while the juices are allowed to be retained. It sounds tricky, but I'm convinced it can be done. |

although it's the message, not the medium, [IMO].
Well, for my own purposes, and the scope of my 'talent', analog rules. That being said, I'll admit that I too have a couple digital-based units. My real preferences in digital workstation gear would be: -Tascam 788 Portastudio, 24-bit/44.1k HD 8-track recorder, 6-simul-record, all-digital mixer -Fostex FD-8, 16/44.1k HD 8-track recorder, 2-simul-record, 8x2 analog mixer -Tascam 564 MD-Portastudio, ATRAC-encoded 4-track minidisc recorder, great 12x2 analog mixer, 4-simul-record & convenient removable MD media -Fostex FD-4, 16/44.1k HD 4-track recorder, 2-simul-record, 4x2 analog mixer -Yamaha MD-8, ATRAC-encoded 8-track minidisc recorder, 8-simul-record, 8x2 analog mixer, convenient removable MD media -Fostex MR-8, 16/44.1k CF-memory recorder, 2-simul-record, 2x2 mixer, digital effects, USB, the cheapest new 8-track out there. -All the rest of them, I could take or leave,... but the units like the Fostex VF-16 and VF-08/VF-80 look like decent units, and the Yamaha AW-16G, also looks nice. -If you're really into sequencing and midi, there's the Roland CDX-1, 8-track, and the Tascam Pocketstudio 5 for midi+4-tracks. -If you want the most tracks, & top of the line DAW-standalone workstation, it would be the Roland VS-2480, although there are a lot of units at the 8-10-track level, like the BR-1180, BR-864, BR-8, or even the BR-564, [4-track]. -Zoom makes a whole line of DAW's, too. A friend of mine has a Zoom 1266, and his recordings sound great! It depends on the scope of your project, and how much you want to spend. Most units you can think of are fairly affordable, considering what you get. There is a lot of great gear out there, given new gear and mint units on Ebay. Usually Ebay-gear is a better value, with certain exceptions. If you take it a level further, into discrete digital gear, IMO you can't beat a Tascam MX-2424 with a DM-24 mixer. That's a winning digital combo! For however much money you want to spend, there's a digital recorder/workstation for you! [PS: I don't think this guy's a marketing hack!] ![]() |

[PS: I don't think this guy's a marketing hack!]
I agree with the person not being a marketing hack. How was the assumption made that the person is a "guy" ? Is "home recording" strictly a guy thing ? I know a few gals that have fun with the toys as well. |
