UTILIZATION

Super easy to use, but the manual is in English (I-inne spique gliche so it goes)

SOUNDS

The converters seem good, the effects are average, but somehow I do not need. And that's not why I took it.
The EQ for mixing, however, are very effective, it gives me a potato acoustic electric guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I for a month. I took it to small pieces (classical and composite characters).

The important criterion: the sound is stored without compression, thus without loss of quality.

Plus: implements the standard usb-mass-storage, so you can get all the sound files under Linux (see tip)

For the budget that I wanted to set and quality (no compression), tails-coat what I want, so if it again, I would.
