Types of connections (analog, digital, MIDI, etc.):
1/4" jacks for the 8 channel inputs, RCA input, 3 x 1/4" aux, Data in and out, 2 x Midi in/out, RCA rec output!
- What kind of memory (ZIP, MiniDisc, HDD,...)?
512 MB HDD for 12 min. recording. It's not much but you can replace the HDD!
UTILIZATION
- Is it easy to make settings?
It's pretty much the same as a 4-track cassette recorder, so it's a basic device. Nevertheless I needed one week to understand the separate recording concept, the user's manual is not clear at all!
SOUNDS
Recording is ok, considering the price! The sound is surprisingly clean and the quality is enough for a home studio!
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you been using it?
6 months. I'm satisfied with the results: the sound is clean, recording and mixing are easy. I only miss some effects...
- Did you try any other models before buying it?
I sold a Yamaha Mg8/2Fx and a Yamaha MTX-4
- How would you rate its value for money?
Ok
Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
Yes, I'm satisfied with this 8-track recorder. It's true that it's a bit bulky but it fits my needs perfectly (I produce basic rap instrumentals)! It's easy to use and sturdy!
