Why struggle with Logic Pro or Cubase SX when you can have a dedicated hardware solution for recording?
Despite the increasing prominence of computer-based recording, the humble Portastudio still seems to have plenty of life left in it – if Yamaha’s new AW1600 is anything to go by. The AW1600 follows on from the success of the previous AW16G professional audio workstation (as Yamaha prefers to call its particular breed of studio-in-a-box solutions), with an updated set of functions to keep it in line with the demands of modern music production. Importantly, though, this recorder falls neatly below the £700 price barrier, despite offering features such as integral CD burning, loop sampling, compression/EQ (available on all channels) and an Auto-Tune-inspired pitch-fixing tool – enough to give any computer-based system a good run for its money!
This setup based around the Yamaha AW1600 multitrack recorder and gives you everything you need to start recording your band.
