(the problem is that now the Disques.D. compatible are harder to find than the VR-800!: thinking of buying it 'ocas. with the VR-800). Trs intuitive to use, it is a good product for beginners only inconvniant: it soon becomes hungry number of tracks!

    8-track recorder, plus 16 virtual tracks, while numrique on internal hard drive or SCSI. Sampling of the frquence fixed 44.1kHz without conversion: it does not accept 48kHz signals (damage). It locks onto the incoming digital signal that possde but output word clock.

    No analog input, this machine Pipelines Limited to be used with an 8-channel ADAT converter or console numrique.

    Samplitude J'dite my songs, so I will not srement need to do in the VR800. So I can not judge the ease of shipping.

    SOUNDS

    No analog input is no conversion from the time when the console sends a stable clock 44kHz, which returns what comes out = (uncompressed linear recording.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I reu VR800 the same day. Bought used for a mouth of bread, I'll TRANSFR prmixes the pieces of my 8-track, which will be much more flexible than a CD or MD player (sparation tracks rhythmic and instrumental mtronome spar and certainly more reliable than my pc: live, I can not afford to have any drop.

    For less than 100 euros, no computer can control in terms of ease of use and reliability for reading multitrack. I have not had a chance to test it in terms tural, but I soon emmnerai scne on with confidence. It really is the machine for idalie complter my 01v.

    8-track recorder, plus 16 virtual tracks, all digitally on hard disk or external SCSI. The sampling frequency is 44.1kHz uncompressed. It locks onto the incoming digital signal and has an output word clock,

    Ideal with Cubase, Protools, etc.. or Digital.

    Very nice visual equipment!

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration hyper simple and easy to implement
    Editing effects by simple operation of the menu and manageable from the computer by noon.
    Manuel oin can not clear.

    Used for 3 years without regard to teach a "studio sound" Never any problems.

    If you find less than 150 €, you throw it.
    A downside, however: there must be an IDE hard drive in it if you do not have SCSI disk. The Beast is sold without hard drive.

    is an extraordinary machine. the back of a numerical bound in ADAT, you have a DTD 8 tracks (eight catches for other virtual) super reliable.

    functions Loop / punch work very well including via switch.

    What I regret: the format of the box-type desktop and the screen is not particularly lumineur (because not enough inclined)

    That if the bomb.
