...and the easiest to work with? i am considering buying one...

also, anyone know of any good voice synthesizers? sorta like devices that alter the voice and add cool effects.

I think the hard drive fostex ones are really good. No messing about

Just yesterday I bought a Boss digital. The thing is fucking incredible! I plug in my guitar, (or Drum machine, keyboard...) dial up a tone, push what track I want to record on and hit record! Easiest thing ever, and I'm just playing with the buttons at this point and it sounds amazing. $700 at the Guitar Center. Highly recomended for home recording.

oh coool...i gotta check that out!

I got a Boss BR-8 Digital 8-track (perhaps the same as Zums). It's cheap (US$700), piss easy to use and has good built in guitar, vocal and keyboard effects. You can even bounce tracks, meaning record 6 tracks and transfer them into 2, then another 6 into 2 etc etc. So you can have about 24 tracks or so without losing much quality. It sure beats that crappy tape based 4-track I used to use!

I've actually got the BR-1180. 20 gig hard drive, the thing rocks!

Roland VS 880 digital multitrack...I bought it 6 years ago for $2,500 Canadian bucks...Now they retail at $1,200 can funds...Tons of built in effects for vocals, guitar, bass etc...I am recording my first CD on it now...Highly recommended. It's an 8 track, but you can bounce down, and get way more tracks than you need, with NO sound degredation...Check out the recoring quality with my pre mixed music...

I've got that on layaway right now (actually, with the cd-burner in it). Gotta make it past the Christmas before I can get it to enjoy it. Can't wait.
