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.
 
get the fostex vf-16 ($800) it can record 8-track sim. but at only 16-bits but the sound is great! it also has 16-tracks, eq on all of them (only the lows are fixed at 100hz) 2 effects 2 channle compressers and a master compresser/limiter.

good luck,

Tascam site specs say 6. Read a review today that said 8. Now I think the Korg might be better after all.
 
i don't mean to be telling you what to do and all but which would you want more? 16-tracks at 16-bit for $800 or 12 tracks (8-at 24-bit) for $1299? like i said: "the sound on the vf-16 is real good" and i can prove it.

listen to my 2 songs at:

i don't know how old you are but i'm only 14 so you can see how easy it is for me to get good sounds imagine what kind of sounds you could get!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
 
i have never needed to bonce tracks because i have enough. i also used a 4-track and would very quickly run out of tracks so i saved up some money and bought a 16-track. i have it for a year now and i have never had to use all 16-tracks, but i'm glad that i have them (just incase). i don't know if the 788 has a sp/dif in or out or not but the vf-16 does. and if you want to stay all digital from the time that you record your music into the recorder, the you will need one of these.
