Thanks for your reply on the Alesis HD 24 or the Tascam MX 2424 question where I do not want to use a computer. Got lots of stuff, studio monitors, stands mics cables and stuff. Sooo, if I go this route can you give me an idea of what board might be good maybe a used one as I don't have one right now?
Not wanting to use computer recording, what else do I need to use these models?
If someone wants to buy a two stoey house in the South of the city, specifying that they don't want to live in a bungalow in the north of the city and they ask you how to go about it, why tell them to just live in a bungalow in the north of the city ?Or just get a PC and an interface.
I thought we lived in the democratic capitalistic free market West, for the most part, in which competition breeds choice. You don't have to understand why some people don't want to use computers to record. They have their reasons. And if they ask for help and you can help them, do so ! Otherwise.......I don't understand this shunning of computer based DAWs that we occasionally see here.
So are all the alternatives. Reel to reels, cassette based portastudios, standalone DAWs, VHS videos etc....There's more than one way to skin a cat. And until they die out they ever will be.I'm not saying it's the future, because I first have to say it's the PRESENT.![]()

I thought I asked sensible questions and recommended reasonable gear?
Oh Well,
Alan.
P.S:
Sometimes the limitations of your tools can inspire creativity that wouldn't otherwise happen, but I still have to ask why you'd give up the flexibility of computer recording in favour of a standalone digital recorder.
I can tell you why, I spend most of last night reloading operating systems, software, plugins, drivers, .nets's codecs, etc etc etc, after a stupid computer issue stopped the studio working, instead of producing, engineering, and creating. I fully understand why someone would want a recording set up that did not rely on a computer.
There was only one reply that didn't address the OP's question ! He got nothing but good answers. But it obviously wasn't good enough !Guess we won't see William back.Thought he got some good answers, but evidently a little touchy.
Well, to me the standalone DAW is flexible. There's absolutely nothing that I find I can't do that I want to do. Which wasn't the case with my portastudio, where I wished I could edit, muck about and mix in sections. I never find myself wishing I had the extra flexibility of a computer. Actually, the standalone DAW is, in my view, the perfect bridge between the portastudio and the computer, incorporating the best of both worlds.Standalone hard disk recorders are essentially computers that only do one thing.

From everything that I've read, the Alesis HD24 is absolutely rock solid and sounds great.
Sooooooo.................it makes perfect sense to me why people would prefer to use it rather than a computer and interface.

You did ask reasonable questions...
And I'm yet to move to PC recording for the very reason you've just experienced... just a shame that they didn't take the development of standalones any further..
