Recorders

As Boss introduce their tiniest ever portable studio, we discover just how much can be packed into such a small box...

We've seen affordable field recorders from Edirol and M-Audio. How does Zoom's H4 compare?

The Edirol R09 is one of the most stylish and compact digital recorders on the market - but is it as accomplished as it is good looking?

This simple digital eight-track might appear a bit feature-light, but it could have hidden appeal for DAW users wanting a flexible multitrack audio capture machine.

Quality mic preamps, 24-bit/192kHz operation, timecode sync... Tascam's upwardly-mobile new recorder is going places.

This sleek rackmount Compact Flash-based recorder makes an ideal recording 'scratch pad', and files can also be imported into your DAW when things get more serious.

Add high-capacity Compact Flash storage and USB transfer to a real-time looper's facilities and you've got a host of new potential applications. What could the Jam Man do for you?

This new stand-alone recorder from Tascam records a variety of high-resolution audio formats directly to DVD discs.

The new Microtrack packs a high-quality 24-bit/96kHz two-track recorder, complete with USB connectivity, into a box not much larger than a mobile phone. Is it the ideal field recorder? We check it out...

After more than five years, Yamaha's AW range boasts a new flagship, offering 24 tracks, a sweeter-sounding automated mixer, four multi-effects processors, and convenient USB file transfer. We find out if it has been worth the wait...

Korg's newest workstation heavyweight boasts 32 recording tracks, a powerful 44:12:2 mixer, a programmable drum machine, and up to 11 simultaneous effects — all for under £1000. Read our hands-on report...

Yamaha breathe new life into their AW range with USB connectivity, loop sampling, and an onboard pitch-correction processor.

Korg's latest multitracker is as small as it is affordable.

This latest multitracker from Boss boasts powerful effects processing and built-in USB facilities.

Tascam's two new digital multitrackers are the latest in their long line of Portastudio products.

Is it an amp modeller? Is it a multitracker? Is it an audio/MIDI interface? We stomp the facts out of Digitech's new box...

The latest multitracker from Zoom is their most sophisticated yet, but can it see off its rivals in what is an extremely competitive marketplace?

Korg, one of the main manufacturers of digital workstations, have just released another multitracker, but this time it's cassette-based!

This recording workstation is the most affordable and portable of the VS series, but it still lets you record, mix, and master all in the one box.

Boss\'s range of digital multitrackers is designed to allow musicians to make recordings with a minimum of technical knowledge. The BR1600 is the most sophisticated yet, providing 16-track recording along with amp modelling, vocal harmony generation, and built-in drum machine and loop sequencer.

In a market populated by 16-track and 24-track machines, Korg up the ante once again with the first project-studio multitracker to offer 32-track playback.
