I'm afraid I haven't used the HD16 but I have used the MRS1608 which is the previous
version of the same 16track and unless they have changed it you can only use one at a
time. Unless you patch it into the inserts and then it will affect all of the inputs being
recorded. Hope that helps.

Isn't it only 16-bit/44.1 as well?

Yes, it
is, and that is it's major flaw.
However, it is a well built, solid machine.
I used it to record 3 bands on Saturday night in a pub and the only place I could put the
HD16 was on a table holding a PA speaker, so it had a lot of vibrations to contend with.
However, the HD16 didn't even blink. It ran for 4 hours in a hot, crowded, smokey, and
vibration filled environment and held up beautifully.
It's pretty easy to use,
has perfectly usable preamps, hi - z instrument inputs, a large meterbridge, the ability
to use external effects and it records in wav and transfers easily to a pc with the built
in usb connection.
I've never mixed on it as I'm too addicted to Sonar and
various plug ins, but as a cheap portable recorder it does the job.
I wouldn't
write it off just because it only does 16/44.1, although I would love to be able to record
in 24 bit....
It has a friendly and helpful forum at
