I am searching for a stand alone recorder like the Akai DPS12i, Korg D12, or Fostex VF16. I know computer recording is better, but that means I would have to spend a least $1,000 on a computer (don't have the cash). That is why I am searching for a stand alone unit. I would love to go with a DAW...
Anywayz, I need to know if recording at 24-bit, then dithering down to 16-bit it better then just recording at 16-bit... The Akai DPS12i only records at 16-bit, and I think I could get the Akai the cheapest off ebay.
What are your thoughts on the subject? I need to play back at least 8 tracks of audio, and record at least 8 tracks.
I am looking for a used product, so my range for a used unit would be $500-600.
