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!
