Nothing to add!
UTILIZATION
This must be one of the simplest integrated DTD to use.
The usual functions are easily accessible.
But if you want to use the installation options, built-in punch, etc. ... is much more complicated, although the manual is very educational.
I do that is to record classical music, never re-recording. I mix my tracks 1-2-3-4 to 7 / 8 and later transfer via USB to the computer. In combination with a Yamaha GF12/12 which has 4 sub groups, a configuration that is simple to use and very flexible. The main work is to correctly position the microphones and the musicians play well, but this material can not be helped!
For a band with drums, several guitars ... this must not be obvious to work with: not enough tracks, especially admissions. For the "song writer" working alone with guitar or piano and voice, that's fine: no-brainer with the hardware, you can concentrate on music.
SOUNDS
The converters should be pretty good (no other experience).
The preamps do not have a huge dynamic range, and this is the most negative of this unit. As I use a console quality in addition, it does not bother me at all.
OVERALL OPINION
A very good machine for those who want a simple device to use.
Seems a bit tight for a group, but fine for a single person or a duo.
The - it's the preamp and limitations inputs and tracks.
The quality / price is very good. When I bought it, there was a Tascam in competition that was only 2 XLR ...
Now, I would take a "real" 8 ways that could record 8 simultaneous tracks.
