I've been looking at recorders and thought I had settled on the Boss BR-1600, but then found the Korg D3200, for the same price.
Let me try and list what I see are the pluses and minuses of each unit. I have not used either of these so I'm looking for input as to how well they work.

The Boss seems to be geared more to guitar players...which is what I am.

Im recording with computer at the moment but i have a cahnce to buy zoom hard disk recorder... Now my question is do i need it or should i rather buy better mic or something with that money ?
thx

Hey all,

Trying to get a handle on exactly how I want to set up the input for my new adventure.

Either;

1. A pre to the Alesis ADAT HD24(haven't purchased it yet and other sug welcome). To me that wld be very clean. Later, I cld copy to a computer.

or

greetings

i used to have a little Sony walkman type cassette recorder with a built in mic...

just for the heck of it, and to keep some kind of lo-fi analog recorder option in my backpack, i want a cassette recorder that can power one of those little stereo electret condenser mics...

any suggestions please?

respect,

I'm using GarageBand with an Alesis Firewire Mixer for my inputs, but I need to record more than 8 tracks at a time. Can anyone recommend a simple, 8 track simultaneous recorder for 8 XLR ins? I don't even need it to mix, as I'm eventually going to just lay the tracks off to GarageBand.
Thanks.

hello,
I have a wire recorder that my sister gave me for Christmas. i can't wait to play around with it, but is there anything i should know about it before running it. it's a Silvertone. i don't know any model numbers or anything but it's in great shape.
ok, thanks everyone.
peace

Hi Im a total newbie looking to buy a cheap multitrack recorder and mixer mostly for live use (letting me play back extra parts along with the live music). I was looking for something with at least one/two aux outputs in addition to regular outputs, to allow me to have a headphone monitor mix as well as a regular mix. I was looking at the Boss BR600 but i dont know if it has what i need.

Hey all,

I'm new to the forum, hopefully this hasn't been discussed before.

I have been using an Aiwa FM-70 MiniDisc for field recordings and it seems to be on it's last legs.

1) Which is the best "pocket" flash recorder out there? CF/SD (not even sure there is an SD one)

I've used a BOSS BR-864 and a Yamaha AW16G in the past. However, I've sold both of them on eBay and I plan on taking the money to buy a new recorder.

What is the best multitrack recorder in the $1000 - $1300 price range?

I've looked at the BOSS BR1600. I think it looks like a great unit, but I want to hear some expert opinions.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have looked through several topics in this forum and found many helpful tips, suggestions and guidelines. So far I have followed some basic steps but I am afraid I need a little guidance from experienced or knowledgeable users.
