"It's all you really need to make a great demo!"

The vs-890 is a good investment if you are a songwriter like myself. It's very easy to use, and capable of making a really great sounding recording if you know what your doing.
You can use it for more than just recording as well. I have used it as a PA mixer for live shows. It works great, especially for adding effects to your instruments and vocals.

"better than you've heard"

Great machine for the money. My first experience with digital recording, and i didn't find it nearly as hard to figure out as i had heard. Fantastic sound, great effects, well layed out, easy to use. Buy it at this price before they're all gone!
