As it happens, I have a Yamaha AW16G for sale. 8 tracks simultaneous recording, 16 for mix down. Completely digital, hard disc and with CD burner. Why am I getting rid of it? I can't get my head round it and I guess I'd sooner spend the time playing, though some people swear by them.

There are others. Zoom made something similar as did Aiwa, Boss, Korg and Tascam. Check out Flea Bay for "digital recording studio" and Tascam.

I have a friend that uses an old Aiwa that has knobs and things for each channel and looks easy enough for basic recording and the Tascam 788 looks the same. Most of the newer ones don't have knobs for adjusting EQ on each channel, you have to select a channel and then use one set of controls. Achieves the same thing but doesn't make for quick intuitive changes. Most of them have incredible editing facilities, some even down to changing pitch and tempo. I guess if you are into techy things then none of this would phase you.
