Our range of Hard Disk recorders is aimed at artists who have big things in mind. Forget about the old cassette-based 4-track, even the reel-to-reel 8-track, these units are a different gadget altogether.
When you invest in a Hard Disk Recorder, you're buying not only a studio-in-a-box, but the huge creative freedom you get when you're able to record at professional quality, at any time, anywhere!
Professional Standard Music Records
The recording capacity of a Hard Disk Recorder is determined by, as you may have guessed, the size of the Hard Disk; they're by no means limited, though, as you can record roughly 120 hours of CD-quality audio on a 40GB drive. That's a lot of audio! And if you do run out of space, you can simply delete old projects - no expensive media purchases necessary.
When you're choosing a recorder, look out for these key features:
Number of on-board mic pre-amps - you'll need one for each microphone you want to record at the same time
Drum machines - built-in rhythms and sounds are more convenient and less expensive than their standalone brothers and sisters
Built-in amp simulator - plug your guitar straight in and spare your neighbours from your 1000W stack - and your fans from the same old guitar sounds!
On-board effects - everything from Compressors and Gates, through Reverb and Delay to EQ and Flanger can be found within these units to process and enhance your raw tracks
CD burner - many of our digital hard disk recorders can even burn your finished masterpiece straight to CD-R, ready to be played by the world!
