Sound:
EVERY RECORDER IN THE PAST (7) WAS HIGH MAINTENENCE AND REQUIRED TOO MUCH TLC. The Alesis HD24 is as solid as a rock. I have done 14 live projects, aprox 1500 singles and 72 album projects on my unit. It would be discribed as a HOLY RECORDER because I have WORKED THE HELL out of it. The feature of quick exchange HDs has been down right amusing. It will use almost any HD and not complain. I personally track with high end annalog consoles and sometimes do advanced edits with protoools.
WORKING HARD, musicjohnhall@comcast.net
Feature:
THE CADDY FOR THE HD IS GREAT & FITS TIGHT. EASY REMOVAL & FRIENDLY.
Ease of Use:
LEARNING CURVE IS MINIMAL. PLUM EASY. (I GUESS THAT DOESN'T REFLECT MY YEARS OF EDUCATION BUT THIS ALESIS HD24 AND I MAKE A GOOD MATCH. VERY FEW PIECES OF GEAR HAVE IT,
AND MOST DON'T.)
Quality:
THIS UNIT (HD24) GETS PUT INTO A ROAD RACK & USED IN THE FIELD, IN THE CHURCH, AND ON THE OUTDOOR ARENAS. SET-UP IS FUN AND THE RESULTS IN THE MIX ARE SUPER DEPENDABLE BACK IN THE STUDIO. I ALSO HAVE TWO ALESES MASTERLINKS THAT I USE. THE MASTERS THAT I TURN OUT WILL ALWAYS HAVE A BROADCAST QUALITY. NONE OF THESE 3 PRODUCTS HAVE EVER FAILED.
Value:
WELL WORTH THE PRICE. KNOWING NOW, I WOULD HAVE PAID MORE!! THE HD24 HAS MADE ME A TON OF MONEY.
Manufacturer Support:
THE HD 24 HAS NOT NEEDED ANY UPDATES OR SERVICE. IN DEALING WITH THE FACTORY ON THE ALESIS MASTERLINKS, THE TEC SHOT ME AN UPDATE CD RIGHT AWAY WHEN I ASKED. NEVER HAD ANYONE GIVEN THAT KIND OF SUPPORT. HEY !!!!!!!!!!!! PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!!! THIS IS GOOD STUFF.
The Wow Factor:
THIS KIND OF FUN WORK YIELDS MANY THINGS, BUT NOT SEXY! HOWEVER, I DO LIKE SOME COLORATION TO THE FACE SO THAT WHEN A CLIENT SEES IT HE WILL HAVE A BRAIN BURN OF THE BEAUTY. WHEN A TECHNICAL MARVEL IS REMEMBERED, IT SHOULD HAVE UNUSUAL COLOR PATTERNS AND OUTLANDISH ROCK SOLID FRONT BUTTON SWITCHES. THAT IS MY SIMPLE RECCCOMMENDATIONSSS.
Overall:
SOMETIMES BOTH A PROFESSIONAL AND AN AMATEUR WILL SING OUT OF TUNE. INTERNAL TUNING DEVICE WOULD BE INTERESTING.
