Feature:
This machine is loaded with features that I keep discovering as I go along. The fader recall is great for going back to a mix and not having to remember where all the faders were set. This tells you EXACTLY where they were. I like the effects as well. There is a large range, but the trick is not to overuse them.
Quality:
Fit and finish are excellent. This unit has a very solid feel that others in the range just don't have. Some multi-trackers feel like toys next to the Fostex. This unit is designed with sound quality first in mind. Edits, cuts, pastes, erasures, punch in/out, etc. are all accomplished with NO glitches, pops, clicks whatever. The burner takes its time, but the results are always flawless. Always.
Value:
This or the VF160 are tremendous values. They feel like they'd last forever...
Desirability:
I love the no nonsense styling that looks more professional, less like a playtoy.
Sound:
Clean sound with no clicks, pops, noise, artifacts -- just the music.
Support:
Initially I called Fostex to ask a question on something unclear in the manual and they were friendly and very helpful.
Overall:
My only reservation is perhaps I should have gone for the 16 track of the VF160. But still the VF80 should keep me happy for many years.

Feature:
The most useful features are the easy panning and editing of tracks especially the reverb, and the ability to apply each track with minimal to maximum amount of sound per designated channel as needed.
Quality:
It has a modern, technical look and is user friendly.
Value:
Yes, maybe more.
Desirability:
Excellent
Sound:
I have experience in multi track recording and find that the VF 80 w/ cdrw, is one of the easiest, user friendly, common sense type of tool on the market. It combines alot of the basic theory in audio recording (bouncing, ping pong etc. )with the modern day (paste an copy, midi format, wave format). It has surprising control on each track, and gives the audio supreme sound and quality.
I have enjoyed mine thus far, I've had it for one month. Easy to operate, and moderately priced!
Love It
Support:
Have not had to deal with anyone yet!
Overall:
Excellent growth potential, I love it!
