Nathan6782 Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 Basicaly, I just want to know how good the korg D1600 16 track digital recorder is. As I don't want to lay out my cask only to find out it's rubish. Thanks Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderton Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 Well, compared to what? I reviewed it for EQ, and found that is was very cost-effective. Strong points: CD-RW drive bay option Easy to expand Lots of effects, including ones designed for mastering Compact Doesn't make a lot of noise because you can choose a lower-duty fan mode if heat isn't a problem Bang for buck The weakest aspect to me is automation -- it ain't there, except for scene changes. However, the faders do respond to MIDI controllers, so you CAN automate if you run a sequencer in tandem. Also, the mic pres are not the ultimate in preamp technology -- they're fine and serviceable, but need a lot of gain with really low-level signals. Actually, your best bet with any of these machines is to get a quality outboard mic pre, and patch into the line inputs. Overall, the 1600 is a very fine product. But there's a lot of competition; you didn't mention your intended application, so one of the other models out there might serve your needs better.
