    Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum...my first burning question is which of these two recorders is the way to go: Roland 1880, or the Korg 1600? thanks for all and any help

    Hi Tyler!
    I jused to have a roland 1680 that I was satisfied with, but I just upgraded to a real board and a mackie HD recorder. You should know that you dont have any insert jacks on that one, so you have to use the aux pre to use your outboard gear or just the internal fx cards, and they dont support any gates But if you use it smart you got 4 inserts, a stereo fx send for external and 2 internal card with 4 stereo fx or 8 mono fx depending on the choice of fx. I wasnt that found of the eq inside it, nothing "happened" to the sound. I liked the one on the fx cards better but you dont have that many of them. A very fast working mashine that I can recomend, but I dont know anything about the Korg. Good luck with your choice.

    One of my friends kid just bought the Korg and he loves it. It has inserts on the first 4 ins and he says the eq, gates, comps and effects are all nice. Now mind you we're not talking SSL quality here but bang for the buck, as a first time system or a portable easy to use recorder the Korg is hard to beat. Fats
