Excellent value, professional quality.
By L. Claassen
I am a former professional touring and recording musician. I've worked in a number of high caliber studios and now have a one-man home studio for producing original material to make CDs for friends and family. I started with the Yamaha AW16G, the precursor to the 1600, and have had the 1600 for several years. I can't say enough about this workstation. I used to have a rack full of peripherals (compressor/limiter, effects, EQ, etc.) for my half inch tape recorder, but now the patch bay is the only module I need to use. The 1600 comes with everything mentioned plus parametric EQ, dynamics and effects for each channel. It has a built in CD burner/player, and USB port for uploading to computer via wave files. The mixdown library even eliminates the need for my aural exciter. The architecture is fairly intuitive and the results are astounding, radio-play quality recordings with a little experience. The only thing on my wish list is for more playback effects per channel (currently only two) but this has not been a problem since I add many effects during the recording process. At anything less than $1000, this unit is well worth the price.
