Mfine: Just out of curiosity, I was wondering how the noise got on the vocal track in the first place. I use a d16 and have not had that problem. Was everything recorded on the d16 or on something else and then transferred? In general, have you been pleased with the d16. Also, you say you...

I just placed an order for a Rode NT1 for my home studio. It won't be shipped for a while since Musician's "Friend" has it back ordered. The problem is that I look in the latest Electronic Musician and see an add for this new Rode NT1000 that is supposed to be as good as a certain neumann mic...

RSTC, It's quite simple, there are fewer d16 users, therefore fewer posts. Do you have one of these. I use one and I am very happy with it. I don't think thousands of people are dumping Roland, Akai etc, but I do think the d16 is nice unit if portability is a factor. Also, I like the...

OK, I've got to be the guy who says SOMETHING good about Radioshack. I've been gone for a couple of weeks doing the Army's bidness, but before I left I did a quick A/B of some tom mics. The recording train: mic to presonus blue tube to Korg d16. The mics: sm57, shure 545sd (looks like 57 but...

I am considering buying an NT-1 (the borrowed AT4033 I have is going away). All the catalogs I have just show the NT-1 on a "hard" stand mount. Does anybody know if they come with a spider mount or if one is available. Price? Source? Thanks

Reply to JC Lives: Most embroidery hoops have a screw that tightens the hoop. What I do is to take apart a cheap mic stand clip and put the hoop's screw through the part of the mic clip that screws onto the mic stand. You may have to drill a hole in the clip - although some clips already have...

Muzicman: As for the portable question, you need to note that the portable minidiscs usually have limited input gain control. Maybe a better solution would be to try and find one of the bundled packages that Sony sometimes sells. It has a full size home minidisc recording deck and also comes...

I saw them for sale a while ago. Seems like it was tracertek.com and the price was a skimpy $279. If these actually sound good I am thinking of getting one and jumping into computer recording (as compared to my Korg d16). One of these and n-track for software and you are good to go and not...

I have been using the sweepable mid on my Korg d16 to make some of the EQ cuts and boosts that the Sonusman suggested. This works great, but I can only manipulate one frequency. My question is - how do most people physically EQ for mixdown? Do they use a graphic equalizer to make cuts/boosts...

Emeric: I am wanting to add a second drive (7200 rpm) to my celeron 566 and try to transfer some tracks from my Korg D16 to cakewalk. My existing disk is a 15gig ultra DMA 66. Will I need to have a new card or something installed for the second drive?

Sorry, forgot download address for the software previously mentioned. http://www.analogx.com

October 2000 issue of Electronic Musician has a small blurb on this. They say something called "DC offset", a static, non-periodic DC waveform, will cause clicks and pops in digital audio. You can download a shareware called DCOffset that corrects these. It is a DirectX plugin.

Muzicman: Before I got the Korg D16 I used a Yamaha MT50 four track cassette. I usually would fill all four tracks and then mix down to two tracks on my sony minidisc. Then I would transfer that back two two tracks on the yamaha. I would always advance the tape on the four track so the...

Also depends on what you are singing thru. If you have any multiband EQ (common on many mixer amps) you may be able to find the frequencies that are causing the feedback and control it there. Start flat with all sliders at zero. If you are getting feedback, start notching back (turning down)...

Sonusman: Thanks for the mixing advice. I used the sweepable mid on my Korg d16 today and made the 200 hz cuts on the bass parts of several songs previously recorded. I couldn't freaking believe how much clearer the bass parts are now! Before the cuts (about 6db) they sounded mushy, kind of...

Ola, I see you aren't getting much response but I'm interested in this too. I am looking for a cheap (inexpensive, that is) multi input soundcard to supplement my d16 studio. The Hoontech and the Guillemot ISIS seem to be the budget cards that I keep hearing about.

Tojoe: I've had pretty good luck with using a presonus blue tube stereo mic pre. It doesn't have optical outs, but I run a short mic cable from its balanced xlr out to the xlr input on the d16. Haven't tried running bass, guitars etc thru it yet. When I record guitar parts, I just use the...

Tojoe: Yes, the d16 does have optical digital i/o. And I agree it would have been better to use coax. However, if you get the SCSI drive (remember our previous discussion - dirtcheapdrives.com)you won't ever need the digital i/o. There are lots of pieces of equipment that have optical i/o...

Mando: You must have an old catalog. List price is $1999 but they have been selling for a few months for $1299 with a $100 rebate from Korg. I think the rebate is supposedly ending soon, but I think either they will extend it or Korg will come out with something newer and the d16 will be...

Once again, I'll throw my hat in the ring by suggesting the Korg D16. This 16 track unit is VERY portable, especially compared to the Roland or Akai units. The price has gone way down this year to about $1200 - a real bargain. Records eight tracks at once at 16 bits. I can fit the d16, two...
