I have owned this BR without having toured both the possibilities are endless. I liked its portability, its sense of the economy (2 x 4 in tascam cons), its multi effects (guitars, bass, vocals), his eight mono tracks (but four in stereo), where all its mastering ( balance, equalizer, volume) is customizable (provided they do it in advance, not during the mix.)
I sold it because the ergonomics can not manipulate two knobs at a time (decrease the volume of two tracks together, for example) for mastering. Attention also live in the REC mode: impossible to cut the microphones engistrer only with the "line in". However the sound is excellent and the masters are accessible by the computer without using a proprietary format (time saving). The opportunity to jam with pieces pre me'intéresse do not.
Operation is simple and intuitive, the menus are well thought out and clear, the manual is well done but not helpful.
I sold it yet because the ergonomics of my Tascam DR 008 rete superior, even if it consumes more batteries, the transformer is huge and the proprietary format often rots my life.
