I NEED A DECENT DIGITALL RECORDER. I NEED 2-3 CHANNELS FOR SYNTHS [LEAD, PADS & BEAT] AND 1-2 CHANNELS FOR VOICE & CLASSICAL PIANO. I WILL RECORD DIRECTLY FROM MY KORG TRITON LE AND 2 M-AUDIO LUNA CONDENSER MICS. I DON’T WANT TO USE PC, SOFT SYNTHS, OR DAW. I JUST WANT TO REHEARSE, REC AND PLAY. THE ONLY THING I WILL DO WITH MY LAPTOP IS TO INSERT THE FLASH CARD AND BACKUP THE .WAV FILES OR CONVERT THEM TO .MP3. THAT’S ALL. WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING DO YOU RECOMMEND?
