UTILIZATION

The manual is in English, but clear enough plutt pais.
Registration is very simple, there's that arm the tracks and start recording, for the functions of a ditions is complicated a little with the prsence a few too many diff combinations Annuities: it must function according to juggle Cut, Move, or Delete from Clipboard In / Out, Edit Start, Edit End, Auto Punch In and Out, and it's not a logical forcment empty at first but with the manual at hand is fast balls collage ... The edition also requires arming recording the tracks where it occurs, as some o the risks LGERS APRS opration of the record over without blunder.
The transport is efficient, self-punch also gnral menu is comprehensive and clear, and the system of Undo is carrment glove! Just tell her what time back in the opration, without counting the opration couraging since.

SOUNDS

No effects, no problem
Remarkable: what comes is what comes out, no noticeable color, but I am not specialist in.

OVERALL OPINION

3 months of use and (almost) that happiness!
I had an AKAI DPS16 j'apprcie before and although the sr 24 tracks simultaneous recording, for 24 against the force output tracks have a big console derrire ...
The big + if you mix on computer: network card, not fast but so much easier than lugging hard drives or fiddling with the SCSI ... SCSI also rather inefficient with a hard drive, which will automatically limit 1.8 GB or 2GB for backup to WAV; prfrez a ZIP.
Problem also: the machine ... ... Sometimes crashes. Never running "critical" (ernregistrement), but sometimes changing project and especially in FTP.
Another thing: after-sales service is assured Fostex Sennheiser in France, I am all at Headquarters Ivry and they are really bad trs, at least on this machine.

Connection: standard for this type of digital 24-track machines, ADAT format and converts it into analog.

SAMPLING: is more than enough, no need to 32/192 What's (for after the stream MP3!)

support: dtd classic can export your HD on another wave or dvd ram (call for compatibility Sennheiser France) and also in format fostex I forget the exact format, if you want your customer to come back, you understand you have to do!!

sync: the machine still used in master sync pm (TCM) not bad, never had any desire to sync the machine tc smpte, the card is super expensive about 1000 Euros minus. Save smpte solution on the tracks 24 as the old!!

for the price of the card ..................................... damage

UTILIZATION

General configuration, the best design flexibility for analog recording, auto punch, undo / redo, not for editing screen (not even optional) ........ feasible, but cumbersome for loaves of setting up and copy paste to the sheet please, like the old 3348 on the Sony (for short, they recognize !!!),

landlords, y'en 99, but it's a mess !!!!! on the fly and not practical, so the thing stopping you ..... it's better!

the manual is in English but in French findable on the net. Heat your inprimantes and prepare your ink cartridges.

not for editing screen, landlords bof !!!!.................... damage

SOUNDS

Converters restore order rather transparente.Si upstream there is good microphones, good preamp. and above all the know-how ..... no real problems with her. almost everything is!!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years, full galley soft, crash, dédrop (punch out) some random sound cuts in dédrop (silence is turned!) Then back 2.3 seconds later. chelou !!!!.

features that lovin: it is small (3 or 4 inches), the remote will pick up the full front and easily calable between insipid (100mm), if disponbibles. levels of the modules are under your nose. The converters are not evils for the price.

special lovin it: buy an extension for the remote, I find it a bit noisy, and the options are too expensive or énexistantes.

no chance for crashes, but if the bike is stable, it is a good substitute for a magnetic analog machine for its interesting (converters), but not perfect and the options for work in the studio.

the alesis, gives an option for the visually, with extraction of hot your HD, make your choixxxxxxxxx
