i've been using this unit for awhile, it's great.

pros: extremely easy to use, record yourself, record a band, etc. good sounding overall, fairly editable, and has a built in CD drive!

cons: limited compressor use, mic pre's have flaky gain stages IMO.. that's about it.
if you are looking for a quick easy way to get your ideas down, do a demo, and get it sounding good.. i'd do the 1600. - Fri, 10 Dec 2004 4:51pm

Yup, its a great machine. Pros: you can do a decent sounding demo with it. Cons: not much other than no external effects loop. Can't figure out how to trasnfer more than one track at a time via USB. Cheers Lucius - Sat, 11 Dec 2004 2:44pm

This is an excellent multitracker, for a very reasonable price, Fuck computers, I have no patience for them anymore, go external.
If you take the time, you can produced more than a demo.

Well computers are ok, but you nead a good mixxing board.
and the damn machine is a pain to pack around.
I like these mini studios, they are compact, easy to use, some have midi, and the built in burner makes my dick harder than shitty web porn any how. - Fri, 31 Dec 2004 6:36am
