AW16G

I just came across a aw16g. I was hoping maybe i could get some sound clips and some opinions about this. Ive never used stand alones but recently had to sell all my recording equipment and my unlce had this laying around his lab Well anything u guys got would help

They're fine. They're only 16/44, and the preamps aren't the best, but mine worked pretty well as stand-alones go. I only got rid of it because I was using it for mobile recording, and it would take me forever to get the tracks into a PC for editing since its only digital out was SPDIF and I'd have to dump two tracks at a time in real time. I imagine if you're using mixing in it, it would be fine, I'm just not a big stand-alone fan, personally.

But it sounds like you have a line on a free one and nothing else to record with, so that kind of trumps anyone's opinion on the unit. I'd say just dive into it and get recording.

Yeah, if I could go back to my cassette 4 track days and read this post about someone who has a free digital 16 track recorder I would puke on my keyboard.

It's 16 tracks of recorder and mix effects in the box! It rules. Why don't you post the sound clip?

I just spent a good 4-5 hours working with this. I used a firepod with sonor 5 producer and this is much easier to get stuff down at fast pace im really enjoying this. I onyl have aone mic right and did a few acoustic tracks and am really having fun with this. Nice change from pulling my hair out infront of my computer.

I just bought a Zoom HD16. I love it, it has the cleanest sound I have ever heard in a stand alone.
