It is my understanding that the Korg d12 will only record 4 tracks simultaneously. Tascam 8 simult. at 24bits.

Korg will only record a total of 6 tracks at 24 bits.

So I don't see any advantage to the Korg except for effects and drum tracks which I already have on others systems.
 
Tascam site specs say 6. Read a review today that said 8. Now I think the Korg might be better after all.
 
12 is always better than 6, the akai 12 is a better bargain at 499 at shreive audio.
 
yeah, go with the korg over the tascam

there arent any digital inputs on the tascam so it is actually impossible to get 24 bit sound. you can only get 16, there marketing is just good. The Korg, has better effects.
 
Does the 788 have a S/PDIF connection? I didn't see it on the back panel of the 788?
 
Korg D12 seems to have lots of effects and features that I don't really need while Tascam 788 seems to be a good solid system with better support on the message boards and from the corporate site.

Am I right?
 
I play guitar and drums. My wife and daughter play keys.

I usually just use a digital drum loop and sweeten the mix with live cymbals.

I have a 12 channel mixer with mic pre amps and another four channel mixer. I am used to recording on a 4 track, so I know how to bounce. And it is my understanding there is little or no degradation in bouncing on a digital machine.

I may want to record live now & then but I think that the 788 will handle it. If I need more tracks I can link two 788's. Has anybody done this?

I will be doing songwriter demos.
