OK. Here's the deal...
I've just got me a Mac Quadra 840 AV with 2 x 500mb hard drives, 120mb of ram & running at a blistering 40mHz!!!
DON'T LAUGH; I got it for nothing.
I do all my recording on my Korg D8.
NOW, what I want to know, is there some basic software still around that will 1: run...
G'day all,
A little project I'm undertaking, recording a handfull of my own blues stuff on my Korg D8.
I have access to a Hammond clone (Godwin) with a real Leslie cabinet. Now, how the heck do I mic it???
I want to get a reasonable sound so I'm willing to hire a couple of mic's & pre to do the...

Sure, the D16 sounds great, but to be honest I just don't know that I would use all the features; and besides, you should see the price in Australian dollars!!!
Macca.
G'day Torfinn
I have to agree with Prophet, Korg D8 is a great, all in one machine.
I disagree though with his comment on the EQ.! Yes the unit does have just a high & low band ajustment for each channel on the front of the machine, but it also has 2 channel parametric EQ as one of it's fully...
Hey, thanks GH.
I know it's pretty strait forward stuff, but I didn't want to risk hitting my little Korg with some insane levels in the wrong place, or something.
I've heard mention of the ART pre-amps on this site and others. Are they Hi end (read $$$) or do they 'span the range' as they say...
G'day all,
I have a Korg D8 recorder.
I've been using basic mic's and my electric 6 string & bass plugged directly into the input's 1 & 2 (coz that's all there is!) & was wondering ... if I was to use a mic pre-amp, where would I put it???
Do I plug it into input 1 or 2 as normal, with the...
G'day Pastel,
The Akai has CD mastering software built in.
Copy and/or Back-up your stuff to CD!!!
Get yourself a standalone CD recorder.
There are lots of 'Pro' & 'Prosumer' makes & models around. Tascam, Phillips, Marantz, etc.
You can use it to do your mixdowns AND you can use it to back-up...
Hey Mike,
There is a great online mag at www.prorec.com/
Among heaps of other things it has a column called "Roll your own 2000"
on how to build your own computer for audio.
They discuss IN DEPTH the differences between the two processors you're talking about, and make decisive conclusions...
... and another thing...
The Korg D16 and the Akai DPS12 DO have "CD mastering" software on-board, so in theory you CAN hook-up an external CD burner; but make sure the brand you choose is supported by the machine.
BEWARE, Mr S. Guy,
all is not as it seems!
A scuzzy port on your recorder, (and I assume you mean one of the stand-alone units, like the Korg D8 or Roland VS or Akai DPS12,etc.) is USUALLY only to hook up an external hard drive, or removable disc drive.
You can RECORD to these or BACK-UP song...
I just bought a Korg D8. Great little machine. (Why have they discontinued it???)
Last night I plugged in my scssi Zip, formatted it in accordance with the instructions & tried to do a back-up of 1 song (only 3 tracks, about 1 1/2 minutes long.) Immediately a message came up, "Disk Full". Turned...
