All user reviews of 5/5 for the Korg D3200

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.

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.

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

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!

I would rather have 16 analog input, or when the digital coax and not optical
if the specified level is very correct, it is on a larger screen and touch would have been more, but the system matrix of buttons is very convenient.
is also a pity we can not use the D3200 with ASIO or CoreAudio audio interface (like a sound card what).
but for the price it's really amazing to have a machine so complete!

UTILIZATION

Super french manual, functions are very clear, the menus are very intuitive,
I used to record album autoprod the summer of 2006 and it was a pleasure to use.

SOUNDS

Super converters, it is the same as the motu interfaces 896, and the Digidesign 002 (AKM chip ak5383)
effects of high sympathetic, I did not have to use it (mixing on ProTools) but I'm surprised a few in use
The sound is very clean, it's a very good machine making her!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a year
I like its hardware while to catch a sound, its intuitive, and the ability to easily export the tracks to mix via USB to a computer via USB.
I tried the equivalent model from Yamaha and Tascam, but I was more captivated by the Korg D3200, after it is also for all tastes! I would have liked but it was out D32XD a budget.

In this price range (less than 1500 euros) a product is truly amazing! as time passes and I record with this machine! recement I did catch the D3200 with a tube preamp stereo Gyraf G9, and a green dual preamp, the sound is more colorful with more grain, but the D3200 is an excellent base for those looking for a good digital multitrack affordable. and it goes very well with high-end stuff (preamps, mics ect ..)

2009 Edit: After watching what converters were used in the D3200 I was pleasantly surprised to see ak5383 AKM! that are used in Digidesign 002 and motu 896!
with the ability to change the hard drive of the D3200 for a larger model (160GB - 320 GB), even three years after the machine is still relevant!

No other recorder does provides both the MIDI MTC sync (it controls the sequencer of my Motif XS, it's magic), the connection PUNCH (to start and stop recording on the fly with one foot while you has fingers busy playing!) and a "knob matrix"! (Read below)
We also have a basic drum machine / metronome luxury, not indispensable if only for its structured measures taken and time and not just an abstract timeline in milliseconds.

UTILIZATION

"Knob matrix" Kezako? Well finished with that sub-menus drunk or manipulations in the mouse wheel on the computer: it was in the eyes and especially the fingers and all effect parameters, scales, EQ, drums maps, thanks to an array of 16 real knobs and 16 faders + to fix everything in real time ... Even the Yamaha AW series (basically the only recorders that could compete with the Korg) does not offer this feature.
That alone is enough to mention the size and weight of this superb machine from the new generation format notebook-plastoc. The D3200 is clad in metal and wood, I think he's out of the mouth, and gives an impression of strength. Only the faders seem a bit cheap and scratchy.

From the moment I opted for the D3200 I chose to eliminate its biggest flaw (his poor display) by adding the option 2Seemy (VGA and USB for display) and a nice 15-inch unearthed to 5 euros! I highly recommend this solution to all owners of D3200 is 150 euros more, but comfort is definitely got the job.

SOUNDS

I'm not an expert on converters but all agree they are really very good. They do not have the coldness of my old digital Boss BR600.
The effects seem quite correct, rich and varied, although I have not yet fully explored.

OVERALL OPINION

I was looking for a studio to recall the feeling of my old Fostex 4 tracks to K7. I believe that Mao is not for me.
I spend a lot (too much) time on the PC is still time to add more music. Yet it's not for lack of trying! I have been unable to make music on computer (except 20 years ago on my Atari 1024ST for those who know
Bingo! Since I have my D3200 (2 months) I enjoy. : Love: It's simple, I went back to dial! I reserve the PC now for mastering (and again ...) to edit a WAV from time to time, especially for backups!

I have been around before you choose and for me it really is the best studio on the market in this price range. He buried all the little new either in Boss (I had the BR600 that I sold quickly), Tascam, Zoom (I hesitated with the R16 and R24 but there's really no photo) ...
Too bad Korg no longer repeated in this direction since 2005.
I wish that we come out even in the more compact (no need to drive in 2011, a USB stick would be better) with a mouse and a screen output as standard. One can dream.
In the meantime I keep my treasured D3200!

Record

UTILIZATION

I use my tracks separately fitted for a mpc MicroX a Korg and a pattern
recording vocals, guitars and other instruments scratches ...

Able to machine I had no problem with the operation of this bike, and had Ocassion to consult the manual in the specific case ..
Moreover, I find that very clear, but deep mansque

very easy to use

SOUNDS

Me no problem,
I find the effects, filters, compressors and eq excellent
by value for money

I had one before and alesis microverb4 is already ca ca
much more

OVERALL OPINION

Since a good SEAIN
I had a Fostex 4 track in 1998
a Fostex D80 in 2002
BOSS BR8 one in 2008,
and a lot of computer stuff and cubase

I think the D3200 excellent, basically a dedication to the computer's

intuitive and "hands on" c perfect for me

automation is very important, and it works flawless

Unlike other screen asking me unless no problem
people who say that are too accustomed to ordis and voila,
I did some years on the screen 4 times smaller, and ample c

I regret c simultaneous effects limited to 8 and 1 per track
This poses no problem that we know what we want to do, and recorded sounds are directly or bounce effect,

So still can not complain

yes I would do this choice, but I would take over as the largest and most expensive of course!
