Default Yamaha AW16g - Anyone still using one?

Hi, I recorded my first album (sometime before the civil war -either the US or UK one) in two studios with two different engineers. some tracks weer reat , others sounded like a rock concert.

I recorded my secnd album on a Roland VS840 (which was better)

My third was on a Yamaha AW1600 -good but complicated.

In my dotage and not familiar with DAW software, so I'm looking at buying a used AW16g (with built in CD burner).

I plan to record in my tiny study probably with just the one condenser mic plus DI for bass guitar - as I did before.

I'd just like to put down some tracks with my self playing mando, dobro, National over my guitar and vocals and maybe harmonising with myself.

This is a vanity project - not a commercial thing - although my second album sold really well to friends in the US through direct contact.

It seems like few actually "buy" music nowadays.

Is anybody still using a steam driven machine like the AW16G?

Any issues?

Any advice?

any .. anything?
