Almost everything adj t said:

Intgr multitrack studio (8 simultaneously recording, read-8, 8 virtual tracks per track, reverb and cho), 40 GB HDD, USB, 8 XLR connectors or jacks for inputs, two headphone jacks ... Plus: each track can be returned an output jack for 8.

Please note, the D888 comes with Cubase LE4.

This is my first multitrack numrique, I can not compare that with my 4 track Tascam Portastudio K7 over 15 years and my Sharp MD recorder 10 years.

the price: just over 600, it is reasonable trs.

Another impoortant: the D888 looks like a mixer bte 8 tracks. The grip is comfortable and intuitive for those accustomed to the sound (in my case).

UTILIZATION

The manual is provided in English, but that is simple to practice, if only a little, the language of Shakespeare. A French version would be nice t. Get moving with Korg!

The basic functions are easy to trs ACCS: rtroclairs few buttons, knobs and faders on the former, a sharp qualiseur / mdiums / bass track, a notch . While it is small and monochrome, it is clear and readable (my old Portastudio K7 has a tachometer roller, so ...).

In a few tens of minutes, I russi (with others) record a song. Simplicity itself.

Then I installed Cubase on my PC, connect the D888 via USB and got scratched his head. I compltement novice to this type of software and I sollicit using a connate close to it. After a few explanations I could model the piece.

Later I used the "mastering" on the D888, APRS have connected it to a string on my headphone and hi-fi is so much simpler and faster than a computer! While there are few effects (reverb and echo) and the screen is itty bitty. But the quality of sound is king. I find the dynamics of an analog recording. Nothing to do with my expriences passes with a Tascam numrique o sound silent clumps.

Well, for a small model, the D888 is sufficient autonomy. In "Bouna" 6 tracks of 2 batteries, there are still six to save afterwards.

For registration and more polished production, IDAL is TRANSFR tracks on a computer and working with Cubase (more tracks and effects).

Prcisons: for me is that Cubase does the hardest to understand, the handling of the D888 does a lot easier. I had never done computer music, so I knew to use a table or a multitrack sound mix K7. Cubase seems to work well with my old PC (AMD Athlon and 1 GB of RAM, XP).

SOUNDS

Difficult to judge: I am an amateur and I can not compare with old technologies and Different. But it seems that the D888 pramplis are good and that the records have a good momentum, comparable to analog.

The chosen effect is thin on the D888. I think it lacks a compressor. Compared competition may also regret the absence of bote rhythms or multi-effects bass / guitar. While these are often the gadget but can easily fiddle solo.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months. The quality-price ratio seems trs good for now.

I would recommend this device to clear an amateur prfre a machine-like interface to a studio Intgr computer. It quickly and lugging the computer models can couraging quick ear.

The absence of multi-effects guitar rhythms Reserved bote or use the D888 for a group, or for the team that have homestudistes dj home a box rhythms , a POD or a synth ...
