I think Ive seen a poll on everything else arround these boards but this subject.

And noticing that there is not a Korg users forum. But fostex, tascam and rolland all have thier own forums. It may send the message that its time for a Korg forum.(by the way I suppose that a yamaha forum is also missing here).
 
I guess so, the masterlink isnt really in the spirit of the poll but I wasnt specific enough. I would use the other columm for the vote.
 
Ok the new rule is you have to use it for tracking so If in some cases the masterlink is used for tracking I guess its ok.

Wouldnt it be something if alesis made a multitrack machine fully intergrated. It might of even saved the company.

Did I miss something? Alesis in trouble or BKR?

Also looking for feedback on Masterlink....would like to get out of the computer
for mastering.

I cant belive I missed akai. I used to have one of thier synths.
 
A stand alone (Hardware) Mastering/CD Burner from Alesis.

Ehh wakie wakie, they did :D

and Terry - nothing but good things to say about the Masterlink

my 'stuff': Alesis Masterlink, Marantz
 
From what i understood the masterlink has only two tracks which for the most part only makes it useful as something to master to.
 
SANTA MONICA, CALIF.--Alesis, the company that revolutionized music recording with the introduction of the first affordable digital multitrack, the Alesis ADAT, opened the NAMM show with their announcement of the ADAT HD24, a new 24-track hard disk recorder. An addition to the successful ADAT line, HD24 uses an proprietary method of writing to hard disk to provide 24 tracks of 24-bit audio on low-cost IDE hard drives, and drop-in compatibility with over 150,000 ADAT systems world wide. With an estimated street price of just $1999, the ADAT HD24 shatters the price barrier for cost-per-track of professional quality audio recording.


and that was.................. hope the new owners stick with it (if they don't the remainder of Alesis won't last long)
 
Sjoko, who buys these big 16- and 24-track boxes? Not many people like homereccers. And why don't the companies make a 4-track model of these things for people like us? Wouldn't they sell a Great Big Shitload of them? I mean, isn't that what capitalism is all about?
 
Oh No!!! Not the capitalism thing again ;) Would that mean they sell cheap 4 tracks in comunist countries?

I'd think over 90% of all the new 24 track HD recorders (Mackie, Tascam) go to home / project studios. Would it be cheaper to create a 4 track version? Not really, the cost is in hardware and development, so the difference would be marginal.
Just compare these tools to what was available, even 5, years ago, let alone 10 years ago. Great tools for limited money! (Note - put great in perspective).
 
Home recording Schmomerecording

As soon as one of these babies ship I want one. But they dont count without the built in mixer do they?!?!
 
Well, I can get a new computer here in Singapore (and am going to do exactly that very soon) for about $900, which gets me a way bigger hard disk and way bigger screen, plus I can bung the computer processor outside the recording room to cut down on noise (then there's the surfing, email, and word processing, too). I don't use a mixer for tracking. I'm attracted to the lack of computer hassle you get with a box, but it's not worth $1000 more than solving the problem with a computer. Now, if Akai could do me four tracks of 24/96 with decent conversion for $1000, I'd be down to the shop tomorrow...
