Recorders

The PalmTrack is an extremely affordable pocket-sized recorder with plenty of features — but have Alesis sacrificed quality to keep costs down?

The new tapeless ADAT provides 24 tracks of hard disk recording at less than the price of the original eight-track.

Paul White checks out the new features offered by the recent software update for Alesis' unique CD mastering processor.

More than just another stand-alone box that burns CD‑Rs, the Alesis MasterLink also includes a large hard drive to store audio and built-in CD mastering tools — in theory, all you need to create CD‑R masters without ever booting up a computer.

A new system from Alesis offers ADAT users the best aspects of both tape and hard disk, allowing them to copy material from an ADAT to a computer for editing, then fly it back to tape with single-sample accuracy. Paul White puts it to the test.

The ADAT format is more often the choice of personal studios than professional facilities — but the new M20 is set to change all that. Hugh Robjohns takes the 20-bit ADAT for a spin.

Paul White meets the junior member of Alesis' family of Type II 20-bit ADAT recorders.

Paul White tests the 20-bit Alesis ADAT XT20, to see whether it wil really help us make better recordings or just allows us to record our low-level hum and noise more accurately!

ADAT is dead, long live the ADAT XT. Paul White reports on the rebirth of a classic.
