Hey, what a cool studio! A studio without any instruments, without cables, without computers and even without walls, floors and ceilings...
All I can see is a white plane and there's standing "My Studio" beside this!!! How do you make music without any equipment???

It's great to get this many replies about my setup! Thanks.

Hi!

Now I know why you don't like G-70!!

It would not fit on your desk! LOL ;-)

Nice pics, just curious, why dont you use the onyx with firewire and direct that into your comp and sell the yammy recorder? To me it sounds like you would gain quite a bit of money and get higher quality recordings.

Nice Studio Roel! Great positioning for your Yamaha A/16 recorder. I really like how it pulls out. Very handy and quite clever. Question for you. I'm currently in the process of putting my studio together in my new house, and the Yamaha A/16 (that you have) was the primary hard disk recorder I was considering. What are your opinions on it as far as recording quality, ease of use, ect. You can email me your thoughts on it or just post here.

Thanks,
Squeak

Well... what you say, did help
On the other hand, it is soo easy to change my desk and make it fit for purpose. I spend a few euros for new deskpanels every time I do need a change.

Phil:
The firewire interfaces are NOT included when you purchase a ONYX, but when installed only the Mackie preamps are used and from there an analogue-digital conversion takes place before the firewire-data is sent to the PC. Where would I need the rest of the mackie for ?
For some reason I prefer to record with a 'recorder' like the Yammie AW16G, above recording on PC. (probably oldfashioned?)

Squeak:
For me the AW16G works excellent.
I think it was in the early nineties when I started recording digitally on the Roland VS880Exp and I loved it ! (ease of use, good FX, reliable.... but only 8 tracks)

I needed more tracks so I decided to want the VS1880 with 16 tracks. Probably better quality, but I disliked the complex user-interface. (Sliders with 'double' or triple functions etc.) The built-in fan made me 'crazy' because of the noise. We just were not a good team.

After this adventure I tried a Korg D1200 (?) but it felt fragile and the FX section was poor. Operating was not easy.

The AW16G and I do match!
Robust metal housing, nice clear display, NO fan, easy operation, excellent FX etc.
The large buttons, the sliders, the jog-wheel all feel OK.

Looooong sliders, huge display.

This 'channel-strip' is very easy to use : Select the ch. you want with the button above the fader, press the knob of the parameter (EQ, DYNamics, Eff1, Eff2 or PAN) once and ready to adjust whatever you like.

The quality is as good as I want it. The mic-XLR inputs have phantom-power when needed, routing is easy.
When I do an audio-job in theatres, the AW is my digital mixing console (including effects/DSP's) & multitrack-recorder & music-playing device during breaks. All in one compact machine!!

In my view it is the best machine on the market in the 900 Euro's area : Value for money.

Hope this helps ?

Roel,
Thanks for your opinion on that Yamaha A/16. I have to agree with you too. I had a short run with one in a music store when I was up north(USA) visiting the family. I too agree about the construction of the unit. It felt quite solid compared to other models I tested. I also liked that it didn't hvae a fan
