UTILIZATION

Nickel. You branch and it works. Not even need a manual. It is clear and well made like most Yamaha products. The buttons are convenient and the display is clear.
Fader just got my small qd same but very practical.
After a few days of use ca becomes a breeze.

SOUNDS

Even when we feel a Legre compression (ATRAC) but the result is really good.
Pramp the console are not bad at all even though the legalization 4 trs bands is effective.
There are no effects and filters, the MD8 (S = silver to silver) simply record and the fact trs well!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years I bought the 8000 francs era, I am the best in its category, it is really handy and the sound is almost perfect. I recorded several album and a model with BMD.
This machine really enjoyable to use.
Two regrets: only 2 XLR inputs with Phantom and the recording time limit 18 minutes (in Ralite 17).
I remake that choice without hsiter.

See above, just missing a digital output

UTILIZATION

Simple and effective. I use both to record a repeated (or not live yet) quue to work at home (connected to the sound card in my computer).
For an amateur level says it suits me perfectly.

SOUNDS

It suits me, the sound is clean.

OVERALL OPINION

This is an excellent new product. I did not pay much. Souvenir € 450 (new).
It is ideal for use in the amateur because of its simplicity and sound quality of the result.
In contrast, MD data are extinction and are expensive.
