It wasn't so long ago that a basic "no frills" digital multitrack would set you back over $2,000. And at the time, we considered ourselves lucky to have that! But times change and today, you can buy a full-featured digital multitrack for less than a halfway decent two track recorder cost just a few years back. The D888 joins the Korg D-Series family and its user-friendly controls are familiar to anyone that's ever used a mixer. But don't think of the D888 as just an affordable eight-track recorder, because it stacks up well against other recorders costing two or three times as much. Though the finished audio is 16-bit/44.1kHz, this puppy has 40-bit internal processing, which is better than CD quality and which puts it way ahead of the competition. It also has the right combination of bells and whistles to deliver a stunning multitrack recording with a beautifully polished feel to it. As for record time, the D888 ships with a 40GB hard drive that allows a maximum of 120 track hours with a maximum single record time of six hours (you know, just in case you're writing and performing the next great rock opera).
