10 out of 10
Feature:
Reverb and inserts are basic but better with others like FX and compressor.
Quality:
Good built for the promised.
Value:
With CDR this thing is a standalone mini studio.
Desirability:
I got it.
Sound:
Good sound at 16 bits and 24 bits sigma/delta. I m amazed by its deliverance in clarity.
Ease of Use:
No problem.
Support:
ok.
Overall:
A true 16 bit recorder that gives you more than 16 bit if mixed in computer software. The USb is simply fantastic for mixing and backup. What you need, you will not lack in features and support of this 'black little awesome monster'.

6 out of 10
Feature:
I like the mastering effects that you can add while you're mixing. Also good reverb. With dynamic voices, you may want to use a vocal compressor/preamp.
Quality:
we've had ours for about 6 months, and it seems durable and well made. We transport it frequently in the box that it came in.
Value:
The item works well and is pretty good for what you pay, except for the COMPLETE LACK OF SUPPORT.
Desirability:
I'm happy with the product generally. It's pretty cool, it's easy to use, it's a hit at parties. go to www.myspace.com/flambeandgasolina to hear a couple of songs done in the livingroom in one take.
Sound:
We are acheiving reasonably good recordings usings good quality pickups in our guitars, vocals with SM58's and keyboards. Watch your trim, make sure that you have the pickups at about mid level.
Ease of Use:
At the recording and mixing level, this product is easy to use. If you make the stereo wave files on the Fostex, and then just put the finished product on your computer, life is good. LOTS OF PROBLEMS when you try to archive tracks on your computer, and then try to import them back on the Fostex. This is a feature that has been a nightmare for us.
Support:
Assume NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT. No 800 line. When you go on their site, you can fill in something that one would think leads to a person who will help you. What you get is an autoresponder email with links to the manual. It doesn't matter what you ask, this IS their idea of customer support. I repeat - THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT. NOTHING. NADA. ZIP. I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH.
Overall:
I like using it. It's pretty intuitive. I expect to use it happily for a long time, but will probably have to learn Cakewalk or something to suppliment it. I wish I had known a couple of things. If you're layering, the hard drive is only going to hold about 6 songs. Transferring files onto it from the computer is a nightmare. And.... THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT WHEN THINGS GO WRONG. You just have to figure it out yourself, or find someone on line who has had the same problem and has figured it out.
