do you think it would be better to run it on another seperate hard drive/OS? ... it is unquestionably better to run gigasampler / gigastudio on its own machine. Especially if you are expecting full polyphony and the most stable situation. Read that thread I posted. The giga experts agree on...

Vurt:Do what I did-- get a Korg d1600 from SamAsh. They (at least the one in NYC) have a 15 day return policy. So just check it out and return it. It does both 16 and 24 bit recording. I haven't A-B'd them, I just stay in 24, cuz I been brainwashed I guess. But it IS a kickass machine...

I think that the reason big cable messes come about are two-fold (1) the pain of "getting back there" behind the rack and straighten up and (2) the pain of putting away/ retrieving a cable. In a good professional studio I think it is much easier to do both these things-- the ones Iv been in...

Is the DAW a portable, or PC based? This may sound like a stupid suggestion, but if it is, then try recording takes in other places? Duh now Ill shut up.

"...and gigasampler for all my wierd noises." As Wide Awake indicated, using your PC for gigasamper AND recording on it might be pushing it. I think it COULD work if you're careful and don't expect full polyphony (160 voices) on GigaSampler. Based on what you want to do, and it sounds like you...

OK, 6 days have gone by, and I have used the Korg 1600 to make a CD set of a concert that a vocal group that I belong to did in Vermont. The recording came out AWESOME. The whole process of setting up, editing and burning the CDs were so free from glitches that I almost scared myself. This...

pablo: You definitely want a portable unit if you are going to go around the neighborhood recording bands. You can save some cash right now on Ebay. A very reputable seller is selling a barely used unit that you can buy right now for $1475. Go to http://www.ebay.com and search for "korg...

"I would also like to know how much it´s like a 8 channel simultaneos recording PC audio card, if anyone knows, i would really appreciate to know... " pablo: you must be very artistic, because it is hard for me to understand you ;) If you want to know how much a stand alone DAW is like an 8...

phew-- Im glad I am not the only one waiting for G4 prices to drop! For nearly a year Ive been compulsively checking http://www.applestore.com, waiting for something that looks like a significant drop, and hadn't seen one. The stores all seem to carry theirs at the same price-- I don't think...

pablo-- with due respect, Midi doesn't have sound. I think you meant you don't like synths? In any case, I strongly suggest that you totally ignore what Killah_Trakz, lol, has told you and get yourself a stand alone recorder-- the Korg D1600 is unbelievable for about $1500, including a...

How about, "My Beautiful Soundcard"? Or, maybe just... "Soundcard"? :rolleyes:

Does anyone have a feeling about how the mic pres on a stand alone DAW like the Yamaha AW4416 or the VS1800 or VS2400 or a Korg D1600 might stack up to the standard rack mounted mic pres? For instance, I own a Vintech pre which I paid about $1500 for about a year ago. I like it. I might not...

I am checking out the Korg too. If it helps, look at http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=29975 How are you planning to do the drum tracks.. you play? jk

signpainter - Thanks! I was wondering what "scenes" were! I checked them out & you're right. But I still wouldn't call that "automation" per se... it looks like it's saving "snapshots" of fader positions, but not slides, and with automation the "slide" (fade) gets saved too-- right? To do a...

MrZekeMan-- I did't think that was the case, but maybe you are right. Im going to hunt around the music stores today in NYC and see if anyone knows anything about this. I searched around in the Korg manual, and the word "automation" was never mentioned. It's all just a big mystery. Hopefully...

PS: Just for the record, the touch screen is a bit more useful on the D1600 than at first I thought. And the editing is quite a bit easier an more robust. And the unit sounds great! At least so far in my, er, "tests"... It's nice! Here's a funny story. Yesterday, when I first did guitar...

Yeah, the Roland looked great-- I saw it in SamAsh. You can attach a monitor to it. I really liked that-- it looked alot like a decent audio software package might. I also panted while checking out the motorized faders. To keep beating the horse some more: I think it is finally beginning...

Just for yuks I am 'auditioning' the Korg D1600-- I plan to return it to Sam Ash in a couple of days, for several reasons. 1) I can't really afford it right now @ $1600 2)- Im pissed off at the salesman because he assured me several times that it came with a CD burner, and it did not. I tried...

Can I use an external reverb fairly easily with it? I have a Lexicon PCM91 which I would hate to have go to waste.

thx signpainter. I have read lots of good things on this board about Paris. Must admit, it looks tempting. I'll check out the prices. So you got it?
