«  A machine attractive »

For all these details, read the manual instead, easily accessible and downloadable from the Internet.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple, if only one takes the trouble to read the manual carefully enough, which is well done. The first catch is easy, even for a beginner, I think (I speak of course of manipulation, not sound quality)
One branch (sizeable presence of a special entrance guitar / bass on the front), is interlocked, work based training ("rehearse") if necessary, we make the additional outlets, we listen, we equalized, we mix, we "mastered", all without BIG headaches. It is obviously necessary to say that finding the right sound, ask the right balance of fatally breaking his head a little, but for that, I do not see what else ...

SOUNDS

Not having used other comparable machine, I will not give an opinion here, but I will say that the dynamics for a machine of this price, I feel very good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for years. NO major failure. Two-time glitches:
- The PLAY button transport has become difficult to engage for a few sessions ... puyis everything is back to normal.
- The hard drive began to produce a sizeable snoring after several hours of heavy usage in a room actually very poor ventilation, again, back to normal after rest of the machine and never a problem since .

I have tried or owned any model like this before, but a Tascam Portastudio 4-track cassette recorders very useful, but really not the same caliber.

Price / quality ratio UNBEATABLE in my opinion.

This recorder is not tiny but it is very transportable ... and then you have to think that moving is a real small studio (which is a very good recorder and an EXCELLENT "maquetteur" / notepad!), Even if we can not consider him to compete with the productions of the market, albeit modest.

I would do this choice? Very simple, and if he fails tomorrow, I bought one the day after tomorrow!
