All user reviews for the Korg D3200

Bjr,
I want to buy d-3200 Korg capita but the meeting I can not see / try. My question: can we automate volume / pan / effects (tripping parameters ...) internally as a cubase or via cubase, midi ?????
there's there any restrictions that are (obviously) not in testing / manuals too succinct (new)
How many effects can be put per track? quality / speed is affected her? the machine claims to be able to handle up to 7 simultaneous effects !! etale t -it if we put as many effects or bugs, flow etc downturns are felt? or even (as before certainez machines) makes use + eral algorithms causes a reduction effect parameters (gender can no longer adjust the tps a delay etc ..)
what is the pb "small" e fadders 45mm race? poorer linearity / grip?

USE

Easy to use I guess

SOUNDS

it should sound (I write anything because I do not have the product

NOTICE GLOBAL

Bah

12 jack or XLR line inputs, 2 tracks and 2 tracks DRUM internal SPDIF. It's been well simultanées.Enregistrement 16 tracks in 16 Bit. You can store the scenes, it is very convenient.

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear and it must be read. Advice on the AF forum, especially for export tracks on the computer. Can remix any on any sequence, a real treat.

SOUNDS

The sound is good, good dynamics. I use the master CD, such as limiting. The effects are ok, but I use IZOTOPE plugings and WAVES on Samplitude. The screen is small, but sufficient if exports.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 years and it's really great in rehearsal. I had tape recorders.
Can be very good catches. I bought a second OCCAZ, there ans.Il I missed 3 runways entries. They can be sync,. A total of 64 tracks playing.

Enough said.
You can record up to 12 tracks simultaneously (8 XLR jack and the other 4)
DD 40 go to my device

UTILIZATION

General configuration simple, clear and easily accessible manual functions (be sure to read the manual and have around during initial use). Although the screen is small (mini and even many complain), I have not been bothered by this fact.

SOUNDS

Good dynamic and efficient effects and filters for a model of good quality.
It is easy to export tracks to a PC and rework everything if necessary. For my part, I use Cubase. In this case, I record no effect and rule all in Cubase.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years. This is the first multitrack recorder that I try. I particularly like its little size, the fact that everything is integrated (no need for additional sound card or computer screen ...) All in one. It is easily transportable. It is reliable, has never left me.
Excellent value for money, since I could get it for a bargain prices (a stroke of luck that does not happen often.
A remake, I do not hesitate.

Before anything else, I have enjoyed, I sold it.
8 XLR inputs and phantom power jack, jack stereo pairs + 2 + digital input.
Provided midi in / out, works with MAC.
Save 16 or 24 bits (in this case 16 playback tracks max)
HDD recording 40 ° G
You can record 8 tracks at least ...

UTILIZATION

The great strength of the unit is to have the sliders on hand. An interface 16 buttons adjusts easily. The manual is very clear. POINT BLACK SCREEN is N / B, and small obsolete today. However, the details are there.

SOUNDS

IN the sound, it is quite correct. It will not shake the walls by its dynamics, but is quite transparent. The effects are good, except those for guitar, to forget.

OVERALL OPINION

I used the D3200 for 8 years. It has never failed me, no bugs, nothing!
In 2005, he had no equivalent, it was the low end, or we had to double the price to get better. At the time I did not want repndre my head with the ordo-soundcard-software ... But times have changed.
The most significant is that if you have an idea, it lights up, you plug pressing REC and go.
If you want to make chiadés mix, it is also possible, but more tedious than on a computer.
The value used ratio (500) is very correct because it has 8 tracks XLR at the same time ...
I have never regretted buying this camera, I'm just past the computer in early 2013.

Everything has been said and characteristics of this machine myself more than enough.

UTILIZATION

The ergonomics of this machine is a happy exception of the screen's true but I am used to.

SOUNDS

It sounds great, I do not use the preamp of the table but I spend with external preamps SPL, Tl Audio Joemeek ... and it also plays heavily in the sound quality. The effects are good and much better than the D1600 including compressors. Super dynamic it sounds not like a computer but I find analog and it is thought that it makes me every time I leave a tip.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it right out, I had the D1600 and not the touch screen that is much better. I could have spent 100 times in the computer mac or pc also but I still refuse. What I like about this machine is that all she announces she is able to fully and without buggg! After several years of use not only Plantade and the D1600 was the same . I would do this choice and I would buy this used machine if it were to die.

For information, go to sites explaining it's easier ... especially for me
If she could have a VGA output that would be a plus and a mouse port ... I understand why the mouse for navigation joystick because it would already account the types of travel "mouse" ... this is why I put 8 / 10

UTILIZATION

All functions are as usual with Korg very intuitive. I unpacked, and without consulting the user manual, 80% of features are what you think. 10 minutes of discovery and hop on already beginning to create rhythmic patterns with. Boin a point is the assignment of patterns on a track reserved .... easy ...
The screen is correct, but the volume info page for some moments he could be a little bigger or as I say above power switch mirror with a VGA output. I done everything happens on my 18 TFT without hack the machine .... just awesome ... and really more comfortable ....
For instructions, I received in English is the language in which it is originally written (ie precise) but I think I can get it in french. In Belgium the importer is located on Holland and frankly they are not quick to respond to my mail

SOUNDS

Not tried, but given the notice and praise I will confirm later this appears to be a quality of this product

OVERALL OPINION

I'll iron all my old mix I did with my behringer and I think I rediscovered my music in a different light. Regarding the value for money, frankly now is not better especially for home studio keyboardists who can connect 6 machines (not bad) ...
There's nothing to say but if I had to fill, I would a little sister. or pass on a 16 or 24 between the day we korg .... widens with VGA and mouse do not forget Mr. KORG ... just for comfort

All told dja t see above or in forums.En There's been a little while prs what you're looking for a Bécanne this CATEGORY

UTILIZATION

Configuration simple enough for me just an eight-track and a mc909.Prendre the time to read the manual which is clear, but could offer examples of recording and sound processing (like how to use the compressor for your voice, how well your qualiser squenceur, queleques tricks to save battery ...) In short, the manual explains how it works but gives no hint; DAMAGE. BMOL small for the size of the screen and mouse but you get used force.

SOUNDS

One of the highlights of the machine the sound is good especially 24bits/48Khz mode, full effect of good quality (for Guitar Effects BMOL especially for his Clais or electro acoustic, but still decent. When the dynamics for me is total respect.

OVERALL OPINION

For a month and a half I think know 70pour percent of the machine. I like his versatility (a fact when even a good multi purpose and a mixer 12 tracks of great luxury in repeated or live. She is pretty I can not do without, and for the price j ''ll talk in a year or two to see if a survives, but for now and in the words of four retailers is the numro range without a problem.

The precise characteristics can be easily found on the official website or here.

But why do we present as a studio recording D3200 16 channels at once while in actual practice it only records 12 tracks simultaneously. The four remaining tracks being reserved for an S / P DIF stereo (two tracks) and the reasons drums in stereo (two tracks). We can win a track can be using a preamp with digital output ... (300 euros more)

I sold my D 1200 for more analog inputs for live recordings. Deception at this level then the D1200 being announced as an 8-track simultaneous recording 8 tracks!

UTILIZATION

Another disappointment comes from the D1200. As it is an open machine: I changed the original hard drive to a 120 GB without any problems. Same for the CD / RW: it was enough to remove the detachable faceplate. No tools required.
On the D3200: nay! Everything is tight. In case of hard disk crashes, homecoming and no recorder for ... ? At least wait until the end of the warranty and remove the ten screws and more ...

The screen! Ah the screen. Who am presbyopic (watch out for sarcasm antivieux ...), it is the tiny screen. Of course, it displays all the functions but read with a magnifying glass. And what about the joystick ... Maybe this is a matter of habit. Interest but there's a good point and has to have the shakes. I regret the low screen resolution of orange but D1200 TOUCH. That was good!

Last thing. A detail, but detail agaant. The D3200, finally, my own, is shaky. I mean have you ever eaten in a restaurant on a table which was one of 4 feet shorter than the others? And well, ditto for my machine. Forced to slide a shim!. At this price ... It is a wedge of gold I'll put

SOUNDS

Nothing to say about the performance rating. The sound is nickel. But it's already been said, is not it?

OVERALL OPINION

Ben voila. I took my time to say all the evil I think. If the performance is, the user interface is dcevante and closed architecture, more. I'll see a use now. But I do not regret the purchase given the price and possibilities anyway. Especially since it is the only of its kind.

Full of (Digital Stereo, 8 XLR microphones with phantom power supply, 12-input jack)
32 simultaneous playback tracks in the mix, 16 tracks as possible on a single record, wide range of parametric effects) one battery (basic) intgre
On a record full of plans

UTILIZATION

Despite an incredible wealth of possibilities (I think it will take me a year to know almost everything about the box) I was able to record two songs with a guitar and three voices in 6 successive 7:00 ... mixing understood ... and I never express multitrack. I used to work with a small mixer and two dats HIFI.
The manual is complete trs (one in English one in French) and I had consulted before purchase, it helps normment when the time comes! I recommend to do (manual korg English site)
The high quality of 3200 is that despite its wealth of opportunities dja can enjoy the first day (I have at any trvaill above that 6 7:00
I love the thing you press the button and a second track shows all custom settings selected on this track effects, pan qualisation level etc etc

SOUNDS

It is the I m'clate.
The sound quality of all digital (no noise or distortion) without its default (cold, low flat, the quick "boring") it also has the qualities of a high-end analog sound (heat, deep bass, no need for corrections in the majority of cases ..) just the sound of an amp lamps without defects (breaths purring etc.)
and I have used this time than the standard cd (16 bit 44.1) while the korg is even better!
Finally the site has a forum korgstudio super fans of the products in the world: it is that I have the DCID seeing all the fans and each other counsel in the world!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 3 days
if you want to look for we say that a notch a little better seriata + great but the price is great for tellemnt performance that we understand the choice of economic korg, everything has a price and I think they are out put in between possibilté son.Je and respect that choice;
Its qualities are so numerous that I can choose from
fabulous quality for the price
trs complete (it lacks what?)
TRS input many
his remarkable
intuitive
magninfique Aesthetics / finish

See the docs already in circulation ... but the doc is not no model of its kind I would cite the latest exs

UTILIZATION

Ben guys, I do not believe you told me qd screen was small!! unreadable and is mainly due to the shade of gray is impossible to resolve in contrast! it's not even worth it! 8 as the p (888) was friendly with all those buttons direct access (yes, less tracks but no sub-menu to bite me ...)!
-The effects are pathetic and I am talking effects "guitar": I defy quiquoque Faier QQC of rock with overruns that thing! synthetic possible!
-The battery is borked because inexlpoitable trp and especially long to settle!
The D3200 has lost everything that the D888 had facilties and intuitive!
-And where the devil fell from the second headphone jack From D888, again? very convenient for listening to the singer at the same tps as I listen to my gtr and all that without ch ... neighbors!
I did that yesterday (he arrived with a bulk e fader board was yet intact: result: even with the fader down to 0, the sound passes qd same!
we'll see what gives the guarantee but as I live ... I ordered the meeting in Paris in effectcenter.com ... we'll see, I'll let you know ... just disgusted chui!

SOUNDS

it sounds! at least it's here!

OVERALL OPINION

See Use

After a year of use I have just reread what I wrote last year.

- The screen is too small: well, it's always a bit boring this small, but frankly it can be done.
The advantage of this machine is that I carted everywhere: repeat, live in my job. It certainly could not do the same with a computer.
With this machine, you take it out of your fly box, you plug it in and record yourself ... It's still awesome ..
We can regret the absence of external monitor and mouse plug to work at home.

I keep the same criticism that last year the drum part: She throws at first, but after you throw it. It is almost inexpoitable. I have since invested in a Boss DR 880. And there is that of happiness.

-Transfer songs to the PC and a bit tedious ... It works well, but the manipulations are numerous.

UTILIZATION

I have not set foot in all functions of the beast.
It tames very quickly. We discover as and when months of use new tricks with the exigency that we acquire gradually.
I found no obvious limit.
Records the most complex I have included: three guitars, a bass, a set of percussion, keyboard, 3 votes. It's getting a lot of tracks (I never reached the 32), but the automation is doing its job. (Automation is virtual ... the pots are not motorized)

The manual is quite well done, and the machine is rather intuitive.

SOUNDS

Sound great ... But you need good microphones. (My Takamine spring super beautiful, but my songs are in need of correction graphic ... but that's probably because of my mics 2 balls)

Compatibility MIDI works well with what I sync, ie: Boss DR 880 and Boss GT-8.
It does not work very well with the Boss RC 50 ... (RC 50 but it is flawed on this point)

OVERALL OPINION

I think it's still great to work alone at home, to record their group and take it everywhere.
This is an excellent recording interface. We can obviously do whatever the mix. This is what I do for 1 year ...
But I wonder if the best would be to treat all the tracks stored on the computer (with Sound Forge) and mix with Cubase or Sonar.

Very positive opinion. (1 year of happiness and games with this machine)

The abscence of a second headphone jack is actually a bit "stingy".
Separate outputs have been useful.

UTILIZATION

The general use is simple.
Nb, disappointed for the drum machine, it is possible to use the sounds of the percussionist and multi-midi control with an external sequencer, because even if the internal programming actually leaves something to be desired, I think that sounds are, in turn, pretty good ... (In this case we must check a small box in the afternoon of Korg kits and match the MIDI channel)

SOUNDS

The effects are correct for a machine of this price, but the grain of the recorder is pretty nice "dry", for example acoustic recordings. The clarity is pretty good. I think the machine has enough tend to flatter the mid-bass and midrange filter.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for over a year, and I turn "check box" mobile enough, enough "plug and record," the edges of wood (!), Robustness. I use it in conjunction with an old Rode NT1, these two marry quite well ...
I would do this choice. (Previously I used a BR8: no comparison, of course, even if limited to the side of the Boss may be more incentive to hack and create)

T says it all!
Simple as BCAN me just a Tascam 4-track of the 80 and a Roland VS 880 (and I'm a little allergic to any PC recording, chuis a scratch, is the intuitive! )

UTILIZATION

I recently prs a year and I was able to use the main functions in a few hours, the manual is complete but should be read to operate the machine back!
I do not use the box as it is my pace DR880 be my drummer!
T say everything on the smallness of the screen but you get used quickly to adapt!

SOUNDS

Gnrale good momentum but it is better to use good microphones and pramps especially for voice and instruments back / amp or acoustic drums.
A BMOL for me to mix, I wish that the compressors are not as effects Whereas Entire hand, sometimes I miss assignments supplmentaires for scratches or off effect, but hey, you can put in auxiliary effects.
Be careful with the mastering, we here must quickly at her!
I RALIS self-produced solo album, well, the momentum is at least itch to trade CD standards (Red standard thing thing lol!).
Even when a board, a minimum treatment between its signals, it is a golden RULES taken and it sounds even more so with a portable studio!
Fast, seriousness, with a finished pro but not a Pro tool not eh!

OVERALL OPINION

Report quality price!
There are over twenty years I expect this machine (a studio while a take anywhere)
I prpare our hours with my group ... nime album and it will save time and money!
The DR 3200 is one of the ways of working almost pro level that dveloppent in musicos, re the Net!
We did all the house, many musicians are now known and takes up less space than a console 48 channels! Well it does not provide good voice, but the cabin!
The democracies of the last audio recording in our living rooms!
