Best value: Excellent
Eeuuuuhh ... Does everything said. It's going very well except that 16 inputs and simultaneous rec shook better, but for that price .... TOP TOP home. Top hard drive, except that the conection as four XLR better and more squeezed (celon the need). Very well done for the price and capabilities, no matter what at least one outlet to do more shod not hurt ... And especially the faders motoriss ... Otherwise the scenes There's fortunately they are also top and therefore it can well do without motoriss faders, but hey (when it will replace all alone it's better, but that even if the fader and pan are in the wrong position when you recall a scene, the sound comes out as if the fader, pan, effect, eq, etc. taient in the position the stage shows ... But, even on the SSL 9000 the pan, the insert, and the eq does not reposition themselves when it is still worth several million dollars but it's not on a DIGITAL COUNTERS, (but good for the price c ' is not bad at all in Korg) ...
If it had motorized faders + the spectrum display for the eq and at least 8 outputs (one for each track mini), plus a compressor on each slice (roughly 8 is missing), I wants to add 750 euros more ...
The touch screen is also handy, and 8 insert (8 rec mix and 8) plus 2 master plus a final, it's going well ... More output to ...

UTILIZATION

Configuration super intuitive and fast. Function very accessible.Le manual is clear but it lacks the French version for a ....( dtail verssion MK2).
The usb it helps a lot to transfer the tracks on a computer ... A little long but you get done ...

SOUNDS

Nothing to say on the conversion, it's going very well. Filters and effects are ffective but effects are somewhat bizard has set times if their quality is good. The momentum is good but sometimes I find small (it must be me who mix wrong sometimes). Anyway APRS over a year of use I get probably a little too critical ...... and just be a little deaf too .... .... ....

OVERALL OPINION

Terrible was nothing wrong with respect to its competitors. This is the top of its range, for me anyway.
If he could have 16 simultaneous compressors for example, and afficahge spectrum (as well as faders motoriss but RVer should not either), this digital recorder pressed perfect for less than 1500 euros.
But even without these features, to my taste is the most interresting quality / price ratio.
Now a days I'd rather save that for better (it's a matter of need), but there is more than a year I referrer (in fact I'm not ready for me spare, I m ' used in every day with pleasure, I found every day other possibilities).
I find this Bécanne perfect for personal use or for a small band that does not require more than 8 inputs ... eg: battery 4, a low, gtr 1, a synth and a voice ... (simultaneously)
A small bomb is ...
I really like this ... bcanne
