Will find it all on a sound card ...!

Symtriques 8 analog inputs, 2 XLR.
8 pramplis.
8 outputs on RCA spares.
1 SPDIF coax between stro.
1 SPDIF Optical Stereo between.
1 x Stereo SPDIF coax.
1 x SPDIF Optical Stereo.
SCSI connectors and MIDI.
Dclencher between footswitch for recording distance: if re-re, for example. Very practical.
Possibility of replacing the internal hard drive to put a larger bcp qques for tens of euros! Possible to add an external HDD too ...

Table numrique automation with easy to use.
Edition: copy and paste, dplacer, etc..

Option: Logic VS PC to control the VS-1680 via the PC!

EQ 3-band semi-paramtrique on each channel: from to track reading! So you can mix your tracks 16 read with 16 inputs and automate everything!

Two cards of optional effects: Stereo or 4 adverse effects 8 mono, including amp simulations and microphone, rverbes of good quality, flanger, phaser, harmonizing, pitch-shifter, vocoder, compressor, multi- tapes for mastering, mono compressor, etc.. etc.. etc..

INSERT all the voices and the master too!
Infinite possibilities of the routing table from 1 to track 16, for example.
Possibility of bouncing (table tennis) without any loss by adding effects and keeping the original tracks in the event of changes later.
Possibility to route external effects numrique without loss in the VS table.
CRER possibility of the network using the headphones auxiliary spars and extremely flexible routing to the outputs indpendantes.

Headphone jack and volume 2 spars: one for monitoring (ddies outputs) and one for the headphone itself, so the headphones can rgler affetti without costs and without touching to master.

In short, a machine archi-complte. No other 16 tracks so does my knowledge.

UTILIZATION

The use does not seem intuitive at all beginners. Once you read the manual pages qques, everything falls in order and the machine is easy to use.

There is an optional PC software for control via PC, Logic VS.
Also, a free PC software to extract wav files from CD back-up VS to mix his favorite software!

SOUNDS

For the price, there is nothing happening to her ankle on the market either new or used.

The effects are of good quality trs.

I RALIS lot of models whose sound is simply irrprochable, and this view of his ing and musicians who have a good exprience in the studio.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, the machine 16 tracks the most complte the march. Trs reliable and stable arch is 10 times better than a soundcard, even card CHRE and can easily work on PC using a free app that extracts tracks in wav qques minutes to mix and edit on PC in any app.

In my opinion, almost a perfect machine.
