Home recording
Hey does anyone have any experience using the Korg D3200? Is it any good? Would I get better quality using a usb interface and software? Thx

That was when I wanted to migrate away from my old VS machine that used proprietary format for the data files. I went with a Zoom R24 and it works quite well. Consider all of the factors if you want to go with an interface and computer. |

Stand-alone recorder vs computer recording - long-going debate.
It depends on your level of technical ability. It depends on what you want to 'do' with your recordings, the types of music/multi-tracking desire, etc. Stand-alone - no pointing and clicking on a computer screen; no computer needed for the recording process; short learning curve. Computer - many choices of DAW (software); unlimited # of tracks (except with 'limited edition' DAW releases); AUTOMATION (once you get used to automating volume and other parameters, you never want to go back to a stand-alone); virtual instruments (MIDI); unlimited number of plug-ins (FX) available; easy to share files/projects with others; everything is in the computer to share already, no transferring from another device.

Check out the threads here on the Spire recorder. Like the Zoom recorders you have the choice of either on board mics that are very good or you can plug in external mics that could be better. The Spire goes a step further than the Zoom recorders with an app makes it super easy from your mobile device to get the recording (up to 8 tracks) and do some basic editing and mixing. You also have the option to export to your favorite DAW and it’s easy to share your music files all from your iPad/iPhone or Android.
The Spire is now my go to answer for anyone looking to get started with home recording. Of course YMMV 😉.

For simple multi-track recording, there's nothing better. It's definitely the best solution for my meager recording needs. But if you know what you're doing and want some power, it's not the best way to go... -Ray

I own and have used a Korg D1600. It's a great unit only limited by it's onboard effects. As the D3200 is only available used, I don't think it's a good investment nowadays. I stopped using my D1600 when the hard drive was giving me issues. And newer hard drives are not compatible with my D1600. I've since moved on to a laptop computer, interface and DAW software. The old Korg standalones are decent but not future proof.
