eclein « Korg D1200 »
Published on 12/02/02 at 15:00I bought a set of Roland V-Session Electronic drums. My partner and I have a digital 24 track studio with an Akai DPS24 as the main unit. I wanted something I could track on with my new drums while I wasn't in the studio sp I went hunting. First I looked at smaller pieces 4-6 track, then was turned on to the D12 and D1200. The D1200 has more things that I needed like a USB output for backup and storing to another PC or external CDR/RW.
I paid $850 because I was sold a D12 that was supposed to be new and wasn't so the store made up for it by reducing the price of the D1200 which was the unit I wanted anyway.
This 12 track digital recorder is so easy to use that I didn't even need a manual for my first song. You will need it later to use the multitude of great features it has but not because they are hard to use, but because the first time around you need to find out (in my case) what certain things were. The sound quality is astoundingly accurate. Its 16/24 bit and can record at 44mhz. I can output wave files to my pc for further tinkering but none is needed. I can do everything on this machine. Even let it do the drum tracks which I can play and record too or add too. Too many great features to list..it does it all. Tailored for the guitarist song writer it works great for a drummer goofing around with ideas.
The only thing I don't like is some parts of the manual that don't fully explain what certain things-namely effects sends and stuff like that are for...I'm new to engineering and don't know all the terminology yet. Beside that nothnig else is bad. Its a fabulous deal.
Great quality, 40 gig hard drive and optional CDr/RW. Feels great, not cheap, aesthetically excellent.
Buy one, save yoour money and buy one. Everyone I have spoken to that has one loves it. No one finds any shortcomings at all. I play drums and goof around, imagine if your band had one.
