Had to use one a couple of times. Yuck, no thanks. Unless that was the only thing I had at my avail (hence the first sentence) I'd look elsewhere...Embryo Electro wrote:I had a vs840 and I hated it.
The interface is unnessesarily obtuse and the inputs sound colored and nasty - not in a good way, either.
But don't take that as anything more than my personal, limited experience. I'm sure someone out there has made great recordings on them. At least I hope so!

i have one of these (link below) and i'd sell it, pm me if interested. i also have a cd burner that goes with it. below are some links of stuff i have recorded with it, but keep in mind i have crap mics/a behringer pre. But i think the machine sounds good (until i mess it up) i am not an engineer i just do free stuff for my friends because we are all poor) and they have no ambitions of releasing it professionally.

get a Korg D1200 (MKII or not). Korg makes the best SIABS (studios in a box) period. it might not the be the better sounding one (i'm sure yamaha 4416 sounds decent, but you need a dvd collection to work around the learning curve, etc, etc), but the Korgs are very well made, decent sounding (add a DMP3 or something like that and you won't think about it ever again), and compared to most SIABS, they're by far the easiest to use. also decent fx if you tweak them.
on the same type (digital siab), tascam stuff are toys in comparison, so is boss or zoom, etc. if you reach for something like the Korg D1600, you even have a touch screen. the great thing about them is that, if you don't want all the options, all the editing, etc, all of that stays out of the way and you simply press record and mix the stuff without worrying about a million menus, etc.
these are going pretty cheap after they lauched the D3200. also, excelent help at the korgstudios forum.
