so yhea this has likely poped up before, so I'll just make it quick, why is the 02r so much more expensif than the AW4416? (wich I thought was basicly a 02r w a HD recorder inside.. or a hdr w a 02r inside ... right now I'm leaning towards the aw4416 cos it will do everything right down to the cd burning... still a bit out of my price-range, but I'm always preparing for the future.. and this thing looks like a steel of the year on the s/h market ....

Dude, Springsteen has released #1s that were recorded on a 4-track, and Ricky Martin's producers used a million dollar Pro Tools rig. You can do releasable stuff on a 1604, or less.

just a question (as usual).

the literature for the aw4416 states 'if you usuing mostly analogue equipment you won't need more than the 8 analogue ins'!!

why is this then??

i have so many modules with so many outputs are they implying i re-route cables as and when i need them.

my mixer at the moment has everything i can patched in but 8 analogue ins simply won't cut it?

i may be reading this wrong but can someone explain the process of the aw4416 and recording.
i'm new to recording workstations and need to see if this is what i want.

am i expected to record several signals at different times rather then all in one go??

i want to get into vocals so a workstation could be good but the midi side is a bit misunderstood by me.

can someone explain

cheers

That's a rather strange statement... Must be a typo.

Are you actually going to record more than 8 analog ins at once? This thing IS a recorder, remember?

I agree with craig (as always) but it would make more sense for an 8 track recorder to have at least 16 inputs that you could select for recording 8 at a time. Like the 01v with adat...

exactly!! more inputs as standard would be so beneficial. 16 should be a standard on sch a machine.

if you notice all the other digital workstatuions only have 8 inputs with no expansin options. crap!!

anyway, it just seemed odd, altough it's a recorder that you can't do a 16 channel record at the same time, say designating which channels to record without repatching cables.

i usually have 6 channels just for drum hits. then breaks, stereo pads, panning sounds, vocals, etc. possibly all at once!!

You said it yourself, "it is a recorder". Get a patch bay, sync it to your seqeuncer, and do several passes. Why would you need to record 16 channels live when doing electronic music?

they probably mean if using a mixer & outboard with 8 subgroups, routing the 8 subs permenently to the AW, thats how my Hoontech 8x8 rack is setup.
