I want to buy a product thats good and thats in my price range $850. I was looking at the Boss 1180, Tascam 788, and Fostex VF160. The thing that pisses me off is that the Boss and tascam both have small amount of inputs where the Fostex does it has 8. If I want to record drum tracks how is it possible to record with 2 inputs if you need 4-5 drum mics? Is there an extention for extra inputs? I remember seeing a small box with lots of mic inputs when i recorded at a studio once. The Fostex VF160 has 8 inputs 16 track recording and no virtual tracks? It records at 16 bits where that is a lower quality compaired to other recorders that record at 24 bits. From what i heard is that music gets transfered to 16 bit cd quality anyway so why would it matter what you record at? These are all questions id like for someone to translate to English hehe. Im open to other brands not specifically the Boss, Tascam and Fostex. Im looking for a good quality recorder where i can actually record drum tracks along with 2xguitar, bass, and vocal tracks. This is all Chinese to me if someone could actually type out specifications and what they mean itd be great but im sure things are pretty self explanitory as far as the higher the number the better the quality. What the hell is phantom power?
Thanx,
Greg
