Sounds however good you sound playback is no diffrence from recording

Has evrything a pro studio would have

Faders feel sturdy and not cheap the TouchView has worked fine so far nothings broke yet and Ive had it for about 7 monts now still like brand new

Great

havent needed it yet

Looked hard thought the kord was best

Everything

Sounds fantastic. Reproduces exactly what you put in. Uncompressed recording bliss. Even 16 bit sounds great.

Has tons of awesome effects and editing capabilities. Touch view screen is a great feature and BIG. No need for a mouse and monitor hook up.

It's made very well. Built rugged and strong. A very road worthy machine that will last for a very long, long time. No worries here!

Excellent!

Very sexy and sleek! A real beaut of a machine.

It sounds as good as any other digital multitrack recorder.

This thing has the best features out of any other recorder I have seen. 32 tracks, tons of effects, motorised faders, this is awesome.

This thing will never break. Nice faders, etc.

If you have the cash get it.

I have delt with Korg for problems with other products, and they have always been great.

It's awesome

Excellent uncompressed sound quality @ 16 and 24 bit. What you put in is what you get out! Crisp, clear...very clean! It is very compatible with other equipment in my studio and the FX in this thing are INCREDIBLE!!

Just the usual accessories... power supply, manual, etc... Excellent features and very user friendly. Haven't found anything that isn't useful about this product yet. Everything is very intuitive with a well thought out design! Very Pro indeed! I like its size... lots of space... feels like a your behind a real desk. Faders are not crammed together like on some DAWS. Wish it came with VGA monitor out but none-the-less a great DAW with Pro features.

It's made extremely well... very rugged. No scratches or blemishes. Definitely road-worthy but a little big to cart around... can be done though. Weighs approx. 40 lbs.

It's worth every penny and then some. Best DAW out there in this price range. I mean 32 tracks of uncompressed recording, great features and FX are SUPERB!!!

Haven't needed to use support but Korg is on it. Always updating their OS for their products, they offer free downloads and they listen to customer comments.

A very nice looking unit both in appearance and color... Feels very sturdy... It is the center of my home studio.

What you put into get, you get out of it. Good DACs for such a low price.

Features are professional grade. Good Routing, easy transport between PC/MAC based systems through USB connection. The best DAW currently available.

So far, everything works, nothing loose.

Best for the price

Have not dealt with company

Very impressed overall, was alittle concerned about the company at first, (thought a Roland would be safer) but they did pulled it off the features none of the other DAWs have.

The sound quality is good. It's clean and transparent but also a bit cold which is true of most digital recorders. I thought the analog compressors would help warm it up some but not so. In comparison to other digital recorders I've owned it seems to lack the depth and punch I was looking for. It's only a 16 bit machine at full 32 track count. What's up with that anyway... Korg, 24 bit is the industry standard and has been for quite some time now.

Everything with this machine is an option! ADAT (expandable to 8 channels only) costs extra. The extra input board is another option if you need to record more than 8 tracks at once. The extra compressor board costs extra. If you buy the optional accessories you're looking at almost $4K. Come on Korg... at these prices at least the ADAT and 12 tracks of simultaneous recording should come standard. The effects are excellent and the automation is a dream. One word of caution with this machine. If you do a lot of punches during tracking beware that this is the worst feature on this machine. It's a cue mix set up and it blows. Why Korg designed this thing to punch in/out the way it does is beyond me and apparently others too. No on-board mono switch to check your mixes.

Very easy to use. USB-1 makes it possible to transfer your files to a PC but the process is sloooooow. No VGA and/or mouse support. Optical only for digital out unless you buy the add-on ADAT board. Limited connectivity to other gear.

It is built well and the user interface is a breeze within the unit. Very reliable so far... It's rather big to take on the road but with a good case it's possible.

Like I said above some of the things Korg sells as accessories should be included as stock items with the unit. Other manaufacturers are doing it so why can't Korg? and only 16 bit?!! Industry standard is 24 bit Korg.

Neutral.

Looks nice. Sleek design and lots of room.

Just about everything...

Good.

Very nice.

It's built extremely well but the screen is very hard to read. Everything is crammed together and is tiresome on the eyes! Korg should've included a monitor hook up with mouse for this unit.

All in all this is a great machine for the home studio and for the price. As nice as it is it's only 24 bit at 16 tracks. What are you thinking Korg?!! The industry standard is now 24 bit, so how about designing your next machine to include more tracks in 24 bit?!

Never dealt with them.

Engineer

Just about everything...

Crystal clear sound and great pres for being stock. Definitely records/reproduces the source exactly. A friend of mine owns a top of the line pro studio with gear that costs thousands and thousands of dollars. We work together quite often. He could not believe the quality of the recordings coming off this machine.

This unit has awesome features but the built-in drums I can do without.

This is one tough, rugged machine. The housing is made of metal and the touch screen is to die for. The only weakness is the laptop style cd tray. Just be careful and support the bottom when putting a disc in and all will be okay.

Great value overall. For everything you get you just can't beat it.

Haven't ever needed support but I've heard they are A-1 and really have it together!

Excellent design with great features.

this was a bad experience. I owned a pocket studio 5, and I thought buying the 32 track XD recorder from korg would give me a better more professional sound. I was wrong. The sound is, for the price honestly, horrible. I may not be an expert at mixing this board but obviosly,if the demo tracks that the professionals made sound like crap, this machine isn't all that great. This is brutal honesty, not bashing. After using the "XD" to make a few tracks, I went back to using my four track pocket studio 5 to back up the songs I made because I could not distinguish one sound from another on the XD (well for the price that this machine is asking anyway).

The fetures on this machine greatly contrast the sound quality. I love the features on this machine alot of the things I had always wanted are on this machine; however, for the price asked most other machines have the same features. The greatest advantage that the XD has over the competition is avalible tracks. But as I stated above, tracks are nothing without dedicated sound quality. These tracks just end up being too much of a bad thing.

The machine is very sturdy and well made.

The DX has extra Tracks, but after using this workstation I would settle for a workstation with less tracks, if the sound quality matches the price.

Nutral.

nice design.

Rap and R&B

Wow!! There are a few posts here about the D32XD from people who are obviously MORONS with no recording experience at all!! I had the chance to work with one of these machines recently on a project that lasted approx. 3 months... First of all the finished product we produced sounds as good if not better than commercial Cds. Secondly this machine was run hard and long with few breaks in between and performed flawlessy!! The sound was so good we took the product from start to finish without having to use any other equipment. The only exception to this was when we sent the master cd to be mastered which is what all major labels do once they're done with the multi track project. The pres on this unit are exceptional and the effects are of great quality. The user interface is well thought out and very intuitive. The unit itself is made of brushed aluminum and is built extremely well! It's big and has lots of room to work around on not like most other DAWS out today where everything is small and crammed together! So to the idiots that posted those stupid negative reviews, there isn't a better DAW out there for the money at this time. As far as bits and sample rates go 99% of you are only going by what you've either read or heard and wouldn't know the difference anyway! This is a fantastic recorder with all the right tools to take your projects to pro levels. So, I say to all new buyers ignore these morons because they are obviously wishing they had one of these.

I'm buying one for my studio.

Just a fantastic piece of equipment! Best all in one worstation for the money! It's rugged and constructed of a brushed aluminum housing! Unlike other DAWS - NOT PLASTIC or TOYISH looking! Puts Akai and Roland to shame!!

Haven't need them but Korg support is on it with the OS updates!

Everything!

Gives you a lot of freedom. Lotta room to move. With all the effects buildt in, you can do quite a bit without peripherals(sp).

Not a perfect score because it can't have everything but what it does contain... Wish you can splish and splash more with the effects but I can't tell you how much it's capable of on its own.

My eyes welled up when I saw this thing! I was enlightened when I turned it on. It's soooooooooo purdy! And it's got substance to boot!

I got break on this device and I've been blessed! I feel you get what you pay for if not a tad bit more!

Dunno, have yet to deal with them.

If I were to lose this thing now, I'd cry and bury it and replace it with one just like it. Don't plan on switching over to nothing or anything else any time soon. DAW is where it's at!

Pop & Groovy

The sound quality on this product is excellent! What you put in is what you get out...EXACTLY...whoever said that the sound quality was poor on this machine must have been using a coffee can and string for a microphone. My manager came over to check it out, he listened to the demo songs and said..."you'll never be able to get that quality when you record on it". I am happy to report, He was DEAD WRONG! The machine sounds as good as ANYTHING on the market.

The features are good. I wish that there were a few more effects presets to play with maybe some stuff for voice effects but I am still pleased. The editing is good too. Just wish you could choose which tracks you wanted to edit simultaneously instead of having to select predetermined groups or numbers of tracks. The touchscreen makes the whole process a lot less tedious, so I am very happy overall.

The only reason I did not give it a 10 is because of the somewhat flemsy cd drive. It is your basic laptop style drive... Don't be rough with it or it WILL break. Everything else on the machine is solid. I don't forsee any problems

I can't state what I got my unit for, but let's just say I got one Hell of a deal. For what it does, I almost feel like I stole it...Shhhhhh don't tell anyone.

Well, I have not dealt with them DIRECTLY but I mentioned on a website that my machine was not shipped with the upgraded OS. Someone fowarded my post to a Korg rep who E-Mailed me the next day. He agreed to send me the disk free of charge. I gave him my address, three days later I had the upgrade... OUTSTANDING!!!

When I opened the box it brought a tear to my eye...This thing is much more beautiful than it ever appeared in pictures or in the store...Gotta take some pictures of my studio now!

Sound quality is excellent! Both 16 & 24 bit resolutions are clean and without data compression.

16 input recording is a huge plus for me. Effects are astounding, analog compressors kick butt!!

Built like a tank... made out of metal.

For features and quality there's nothing else that touches it.

When I couldn't get an OS system upgrade downloaded online properly, the customer representative I spoke to actually made me a disc and mailed it to me!

Sexiest DAW on the market!

I found if you take the time to learn the equipment, the results are better than any recorder for the same price.

The expression input is a great feature for using the guitar effects. The most impressive feature is the analog compression on the inputs. Clean punch. The operating system upgrades are great! The added features such as the increased available recording at 96khz,added functionality of the knobs are great, and the cost of the upgrades is zero! I downloaded the upgrades and upgraded from 1.0 to 2.01 in 10 minutes!

I have had the recorder about 4 months and have not had a single problem.

I fretted and studied before I purchased it and have no regrets on the bang for the buck.

I have not had to contact them for support, but they have a couple of engineers that have a Web site dedicated to the Korg recorders with excellent tips and a large user group. Check it out a Korgstudio.com

With the continued software updates on the unit, it only gets better.
