Feature:
i think you would hve to pay an awfull lot more to get even a little more! this machine seems to have been very well thought out and personally so far ive only used the drum/bass and guitar effects which work very well.
least usefull feature is the manual, its been written by people who know the machine inside out. maybe they should try teaching a few novices how to use it and then re-write the manual based on all the litle problems that are encountered. hey, i'm getting there if only slowly.
Quality:
i would not want to take this machine on the road without a very good flight case., and the warng about moving it while it is working is a little worrying. you can now buy laptops that will withstand being dropped so why not incorporate a hard drive like that in this machine, it would definately increase its usefullness.general build quality is pretty good, more than enough for home use.
Value:
worth every penny!!!! regarding next box below, it is sensibly priced making it affordable. any dearer, i would probably have bought something cheaper and then regretted doin so
Desirability:
at the price im glad that i now own one, looks good and does what it says on the box. i'm sure we will become the best of freinds once ive got my head around it properly.
Sound:
after a lot of head scratching and trying to find my way around, i managed to record some material on the first day i owned the machine. the sound quality is superb, no discernable noise or distortion and the audio bandwidth is true cd quality. VERY GOOD!!!
Ease of Use:
once again, after de-ciphering the manual, the learning curve was quick and easy, some very good sounds availiable. refer to above regarding the manual.
Support:
they had an instore demonstrator where i purchased it who was extremely helpfull and has invited me back to the store for more tuition or help whenever i need it
Overall:
i intend to keep it until there is a quantum leap in the tecnology or i get so into rewcording that i build a prper recording studio. ( but i would have to win the lottery to do that!)what made me choose this over other makes or models was the instore demonstration looking so simple. i then knew that if i found it was difficult that was due to me and not the machine. also the sond quality being so good and the eight simultneous inputs

Feature:
More features than you'll ever need.
Quality:
Fairly well made machine, but beware--Boss warns you not to move or jostle the unit while the hard drive is operating, and they mean it. Due to my own carelessness in this regard, crashed the hard drive which needed to be replaced.
Value:
Probably better than the other choices, though I have little hands-on experience with other models. Even though there's a learning curve with this unit, I've heard its a lot more user friendly than most.
Sound:
Once you get over the learning curve, you can really find some nice, high quality effects which improve your live recording upon mixing and mastering.
Ease of Use:
Steep learning curve; manual has all the info you need but its not very well organized. The biggest drawback of this unit is the dinosaur factor; takes a long time to load songs, prepare for a new recording, and moving between songs is also slow. The hard drive mechanism, used for storing and saving tracks, has a speed that reminds me of the old IBM XT's.
Support:
When the hard drive crashed Boss not only repaired the unit promptly, they managed to recover all recorded data. Handled it as a warranty claim. Very good support.
Overall:
Can't imagine replacing or upgrading from this unit unless it breaks, but who knows what future technology may bring. If there were units out there that processed the data faster, I'd be interested. But overall this is a great unit that records, mixes, applies effects, masters, and writes cd's. Hard to beat.
