How long have you use it?
2 weeks

What is so special that you like most and least?
My needs: a recorder to record 3-4 tracks at home demos of guitar-bass arrangement for my group
<img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /> It has everything you need in relation to my needs: input jack, tuner, bank effects, drum machine, looping, conservation taken by 8 track, mixing the basic features (pan + volume) editing capabilities (copy / paste), USB output for export songs, songs separate organization
<img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" /> The sounds of drum and bank effects are basic but adequate for demos
The interface is too minimalist. It was quickly losing its young, or even run over by a mistake made that we wanted to keep. And when it tries to copy / paste, it becomes problematic and anti-creative if you want to work song structure <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt="sad" /> Too small and too light to use at home. By plugging the headphones on one side and the guitar on the other, the Micro BR has a tendency to fall under the weight of cables

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, I just compared it with that of the sheet Korg D4. It has an XLR input as well, but its price was 50% higher

How would you rate the quality / price?
Expensive in absolute terms, but less than the competition. A € 100, we find that the Line 6 Backtrack, but which serves as a voice recorder for guitar

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Basically, I'm glad it fits my needs. However, its interface and its propensity to fall is frustrating. I may be too used to the comfort of Cubase ... but suddenly, if I had to make another choice, I will test the Korg happy.
