Hi,
I've decided, for a number of reasons, that using a PC for recording is not for me, though I may use one for editing and mixing songs with more than 16 tracks.
I'm looking at buying a second hand recorder.
These are the ones I'm looking at:
Yamaha AW4416
Yamaha AW2400
Tascam SX-1
Akai DPS24
Roland VS2480
Korg D32XD
I have some reservations about each unit, but was wondering if anyone has particular experience that might help me decide which is best for me.
I like the SX-1 but I a concerned about the cost if in 6-18 months time something goes wrong with the unit. If something stops working on it or it develops a fault, will I be able to get it repaired?
I had heard that you can still get the Yamaha units repaired if they develop a fault. The AW4416 looks like a capable unit?
The Roland unit looks capable too but again have some concerns - don't they use some sort of proprietry system for data storage?
Pre's are something to consider too - which unit do you think has the best pre's?
I'm interested in any views or experience highlighting where a unit excels or how they compare in the real world.
Any help appreciated as I'm torn between them!!
Thanks
Darren
