Bought last year Thomann (I recommend), and I use it to record all types of music.
I tried templates for all types of media: tape, files, mini-disc ....
The quality of this one is really good: all sounds are clear, it is recognized particularly well recorded music instruments (compared with those for which all sounds like ...) and no noise. In addition I use the configuration "concert" with which I record concerts on stage WITHOUT CA SATURATED! Only "downside" you just add 3 decibels lower on Audacity when recording vacuum. To all the circumstances of recording, his first attack must also be reduced, but it is something reversible, so a problem circumvented.
When recording goes digital only in the case of electronic or compressed music, recording is done without compression (advantage or disadvantage? This is relative).
A note also of course a wide range of configurations. Wav and. Mp3 for my part I record maximum. Wav to mp3 and public performance 320 or 128 for private performance.

Five microphones are convenient, the "expansion" left-right is adjustable according to the desires and can also record with 4 Channels.

The price / quality ratio is good, especially if you know where to buy. In Thomannn is a more affordable creature, a little less in Fnac.

If I davais choice again I would. I do not think it happens because the machine is solid. However, the miniSD-SD adapter is already trapped inside the mine, so take a normal SD and everything will be fine.
