Rock and or Roll

Today I bought a Korg D3200 32 track digital recording workstation. It is rad. I sepnt several hours getting decent at using it and recorded one of the new songs that I have come up with over the past three months. I used the interal drum machines--which are quite awesome. I also sanded the neck of my G & L bass and restrung it. It is in the ( Read more... )

You can get a burn, not sure if it will make it in time to be a birthday addition--maybe a late xmas.

Sounds pretty sweet. Christmas presents to yourself are always the best. :P

I am curious what kind of mic pre-amps it has and how many tracks it can record simultaneously. Also, is there a computer interface (i.e., USB, Firewire, ADAT, etc.)? While I know those "portable studio solutions" CAN technically do all the mixing, mastering, etc. that you need, I find working on a PC to be much more productive ( ... )

Hey, I figured you were busy with finals and/or band stuff. The Korg is really awesome. 32 real tracks and 200+virtual (although I think virtual tracks aren't really very useful). 8 is the max for simultaneous recording, but that could get you a full drum set in most situations and maybe even a preliminary guitar track with it. The Korg has a USB connector and a built in CD RW drive, so if you didn't want to use the USB for whatever reason you can choose to burn audio, or any different format aiff etc ( ... )

That looks like a pretty nice condenser mic. How much did it cost you? I also noticed that it requires phantom power, which implies that your recording station supplies it; that's a very good bonus ( ... )

I was looking at the M-Audio monitors. I felt the Mackie's were kind of thin sounding and pricey. There are Rolands, but since I have a Korg workstation I wouldn't necessarily want to pair them up with it because it seems that they are made to work best in conjunction with the Roland workstations ( ... )
