Our band wants to put together a CD to sell to the public. We're not talking major label here, just a good indie CD. We have a Korg D1600. Comments have been made to us that doing a CD ourselves on a DWS like the Korg D1600 could only produce a "demo" quality product and not something for retail sale to public.

Any thoughts out there on this issue before we waste our time?

The Korg D1600 is Hands down THE BEST sounding Hardware DAW ever made. Im a Music retail Sales manager and I have sold and used all of em'. From the Hissy Tascam Digitals, The Impossible to figure out and Data compressed Rolands, The just weird Yamaha's, the Fostex Budget units and the Zoom Great Bang for the Buck units. Ive used the D1600 for almost a Decade now. The swapable Hard drive feature alone is worth the Money, and Speaking of the Money, These things are going CHEAP now! Hell, I saw the Big Brother D32XD go for $700 recently. ALL of these songs were done on the D1600.. Very Rough drafts Mind you, but you'll get the Idea. None of these songs are mastered either! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=747174

Oh, and this thing is Idiot Proof easy to use!! Where do you live?

Thanks for the reply. You assured my confidence in the D1600. I up in Stoneham Mass which is about 7 miles north of Boston.

We tried a few songs on the Korg but I'm not real experienced in mixing.
We do 50's and early 60's oldies doowop. I could use some criticism from experienced ears that can help me figure what to do and what not to do. I wonder if you could give a listen to what we've done and tell me where I' going wrong.
