Value For Money : Correct
I have 2 years

I used to make models at home and is perfectly suited to this type of use.

His most are the number of entries, the equalizer, the ease of use (grip not immediate but it is enough to make the maneuver once with the manual side and it immediately becomes automatic.) Price, the fact that we can use it as a mixer (10 inputs + 10 XLR jack), support (K7 standard - cheap and easy to find)

Cons: the weight and bulk, although they give a certain charm to the beast, this machine is clearly not meant to be moved every day. That said it's a tank and I think it's built to last. Do not forget that the base is super stuff, which certainly older, but the quality is. For some that it operates a K7 is a drawback: a boring store, unreliable over time, ... me it does not bother me. Level maintenance should do well to buy a degausser heads ... I still have not done. However, it still manages easily to recording with little or no wind. One can also note that sometimes some tracks "drool" very slightly on the adjacent tracks ... honestly it's nit-picking, you really have to look, and it does not affect the final mix.

I had before buying a tascam 414, which is also a great little machine but 4 more tracks is not luxury. With eight tracks to work with me I'm quiet, and you win really on the quality of the end (rather than make ping pong on 4 tracks).

value for money, I find it good, I paid 180 euros including postage machine, it's worth, but not more than 250 euros in my opinion. Anyway with a little patience and perseverance it is quite easy to find this machine at around 200 euros.

With experience, I would do this choice?? For the same budget, without hesitation. Now if I may steal I think I'll break the piggy bank to equip myself in digital hardware, see passage computers, for pure reasons of space.
