one thing to consider is the "interfacing" of the recorder with other equipment. the Korg recorders only offer ONE aux output and it is MONO (as far as i know). this means that you must rely SOLEY on the D16/1600's internal effects. if they suit your ears/tastes,..then everything's cool...

funny, i just had the SAME problem with my S4+ module. one day i noticed the display settings looked a little funny and then i found that the USER bank had vanished. Alesis confirmed that the lithium battery had bought the farm (i called them). they told me i could change it myself but that it...

hey Broccoli-colored Flying Insect Person, your Yammie has COAXIAL digital outs. as long as your DAT (of choice) has the same configuration of INPUTS, yer all good. make sure bit rate and resolution (and all that) settings are the same on both machines (i.e. 16 bit, 44.1khz etc). otherwise you...

hey Winged Stinging Green Vespidae, i've read articles where producers said that recorded an album project on ADAT (or some other digital media) and mixed DOWN to analog 2-track. this gave the recording an "analog warmth" but maintained the versatility of digital multitracking/editing WHILE...

i'll be DAMNED!! just when i get my BIPHAZERS paid off they come out with a NEW MODEL!!!!

just wondering if any current VR-800 users had any recommendations for an internal IDE drive for this unit. i heard that certain Quantum Fireballs work well but didn't know if certain speeds or sizes (GIGS) were preferred. ALSO,..is a special "caddy" required or can you just crack open the unit...

don't know about the PS3.1's but i HAVE owned the original PS3's for about a year now. they are very similar but i think the 3.1's have nicer satellite cabinets. i think the PS3's are one of the best kept secrets around. my home studio is in a spot where i MUST monitor through headphones OR at...

MiXit, the only real concern you'd probably have is head alignment and head wear. cramming 8 tracks onto a cassette is no simple task, but Tascam has done it (repeatedly) over the years with the 238 and various Portastudios. the transport mechanism on the 238 is as rugged as they get. really the...

i have a Tascam 238s Syncaset. is is the model with Dolby noise reduction (vs the DBX noise reduction of the "standard" 238......the Dolby sounds a bit better to me). i've had it for a few years and it has been quite dependable. it is big and chunky and heavy and if you need to sync it to MIDI...

the price on these units has gotten really enticing recently and my Mackie 1604vlz is looking for a new playmate,...HOWEVER i DO have a couple of questions: 1) can you backup data (via SCSI) to an external cdr/rw?? i realize that the hard-drive is caddy mounted and can be exchanged with another...

i have FIVE different sound cards for my S4+ rack synth. i actually use all the cards quite a bit so i am CONSTANTLY plugging and un-plugging cards from the slot on the front panel of the S4. my greatest fear is bending the pins inside the module and thus being unable to insert ANY card. i would...

i own an Alesis S4+ rack mount synth module. it has ONE expansion (PCMCIA) slot on the front panel for the insertion of the Alesis series of Q-Cards. i have five or six Q-cards in my posession. i really like this synth and its expansion capabilties but i WORRY about constantly inserting the...

thanks for the links. i believe the Sharp unit i saw was the MD-SR60 which DOES boast of a 24-BIT "ATRAC" recording resolution. it think the Sony units were 16-BIT "ATRAC". given ATRAC's "bit shaping-trimming-truncating-manipulating-scrambling and reassembling" i don't know if the sound quality...

dagnabbitt!! i've been saving my cash for several months for a Masterlink and now Alesis is tottering on the brink of electronic obscurity. i own SEVERAL Alesis products that i've been VERY happy with. the Masterlink has always appealed to me because i really DISLIKE involving my computer with...

been checking out a few MiniDisc "walkman" type recorders to use for sampling various sounds around town (for use on some experimental projects). i just assumed i'd end up with a Sony. recently i saw a Sharp model which boasted of "24-bit" recording (compared to the "16-bit" of the Sony model i...

man,..the big "A" is wobbling. i got exposed to several pieces of Alesis gear JUST when i was getting serious about home recording. i still own an original S4+ rack mount sound module with the original "Virtual Composer" RAM card. i have the user bank from the FIRST Quadrasynth stored on that...

just heard that there is a "new" software version on the Masterlink (version 2.0). has anyone upgraded their "current" Masterlink to "new" specs and if so HOW (did you download update from Alesis and burn to a CD and then load into the Masterlink via the CD)??. just curious. i am just itching to...

i read the press release for the Alesis FILM SCORE Q-card MONTHS ago. has anyone ever seen one of these? i e-mailed Alesis and got NO RESPONSE. perhaps this is another one of those "new products" that never QUITE makes it to the shelves. the press release sounded good, though,.....lots of...

Pavlos, perhaps you are right. since i made that post i've done a little bit of investigating into PC based recording. i've seen several systems that seem to be quite affordable. i don't know. maybe i'm just foolish for trying to keep MY crotchety old PC out of my recording space. oh...

yah know,..i've always admired the apparent "honesty" of FOSTEX. this (VF16) isn't a 24bit/96khz recorder. it doesn't claim to be. IN FACT,..MOST recorders that offer those specs ONLY OFFER THEM ON HALF OF THE NORMAL RECORDING CAPACITY OF THAT UNIT (i.e. "8" of the 16 or "12" of the 24...
