"MUST BY FOR BANDS THAT WANT TO RECORD CHEAP DEMOS"

Feature:
Great for a $100 Recorder. The pan is nice if you want bass on one side guitar on the other.

Quality:
It fine its great. will last me years if I treat it like a 100,000 dollar car

Value:
Such a score I paid $100 Thats great if you want a good low end multi track recorder like this

Desirability:
MUST GET IF TOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND OVER 100 ON A MULTI TRACK RECORDER PERFECT IF YOU ARE JUST STARTING TO MAKE DEMOS FOR YOUR BAND

Sound:
The sound its great for a tape. Great for demo's. I might use it for an LP if that all we have

Ease of Use:
You have to be blind to not know most of the stuff you can do with it. The manual good to have if you don't know you could hook it up with a stero

Support:
The best support is if you never need to make the call

Overall:
I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS EVERYBODY MUST BY THIS IF YOU WANT TO MAKE CHEAP DEMOS I ONLY WISH YOU COULD RECORD ALL 4 TRACKS AT A TIME BUT WHO CARES THAT NO BIGGIE BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU HOW TO IF YOU READ THE MANUAL

"This is what you need."

Feature:
You dont really need that many features

Quality:
It doesnt seem like its going to break.

Value:
I paid only $89 for mine on ebay from a closeout. This was probobly the best investment in musical equipment I have made.

Desirability:
Its blue. Blue is cool

Sound:
Its really good to get an old 60's type recording sound with. A good thing to do is record the drums and bass. then put it into a computer program like cool edit pro. and then get a new tape, and record 2 guitars and vocals. Put that in the computer. This way you can still mix it however you want as long as you keep the tapes. Remember, Sgt. Peppers was recorded onto two four track machines

Support:
Never dealt with them

Overall:
I will use this for a while. Hopefully uprgrade to an eight track reel-to-reel some day. That would be nice.
