This has been asked many times but not too recently :)

I can get either a D16 or the VF16 used for the same price, just wondering about some opinions.

Thx,
Steve
 
Hi - do you mean D1624 ?? If so - I highly recommend it. It can record 8 audio tracks + 8 digital tracks simutaneously. I think VF can do just 2 ( but please let me know if this is not right).

I recently picked one up for NZ750 - about US400$.

The D series are pure digital recorders with no onboard mixing or effects, but they make a fabulous front end for a PC based editing package. I use N-track on my PC to mix and add effects etc - which saves heaps of money and space.

Cheers Chris
 
The VF16 can record up to 16 tracks at the same time. 8 from analogue inputs, and 8 from ADAT. It has 8 preamps and a built in digital mixer and two effects blocks.
As far as I know the D16 is just a recorder.

Or are you talking about the D16 from Korg? Korg makes nice products.
 
Yep it's the Korg D16, it looks slicker cosmetically than then VF16

Chrisbc - what's the NZ750, I've not heard of those.

Thanks for the replies,
Steve

The D16 is an older machine, as is the VF16. Personally, I'd go with the new VF160EX (US899.00), though a D1600 gives it a run for the money (and costs a great deal more, US1,300.00).

Ahemm - I will officially 'butt out' of this thread - I'm clearly way out of date with current products. Sorry to any miffed VF16 owners I insulted - 2 track indeed!

Oh yeah, by NZ750, I mean $750 New Zealand Dollars = roughly $400 USD. A strange currency used in this remote part of the world ;)

Cheers, Chris
