SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: I've been using this for three months to make useful demos. My limitations are more of an issue to me at this point than the unit's. Feature: This control interface and bundled Cubasis VST software has everything you need for recording quality demos. Good selection of echos, reverbs, and other effects. Quality: Not a heavily-built unit. You wouldn't want to schlep this around on your roadhouse tour of the US, but that's not really its intended purpose. Value: For its intended purpose--recording one-track-at-a-time demos for friends, family, and band members--this is just what the doctor ordered. I'm glad I took my buddy's advice and steered clear of the cassette portastudio. With a little coaching, this unit does just what I want it to do. Manufacturer Support: Not applicable, though Tascam's support is reputed to be quite awful. The Wow Factor: It's a tool. It's about as sexy as a toothbrush. Overall: I'm pretty happy with this unit. It was a good, low-risk introduction to digital recording. If you're looking for a unit for low-budget project and demo recording, this is a great choice. One reservation: You will want to have a pretty good computer setup before going with this or any other computer-based DAW. I'm getting by with my 1.6 gH PIII laptop with 512 megs of RAM, but I managed to crash the computer pretty spectacularly once while trying to do a mixdown with multiple reverb effects going at once. Having a soundcard that's optimized for digital recording (as opposed to GTA) is helpful, too.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: I was a little disappointed in how harsh the sound was when recording direct, in particular vocals and acoustic guitar. You'll need some sort of pre- to warm it up. I'm using a 10 year old Digitech RP1 effects pedal, even on vocals, which makes a big difference. Quality: Made mostly of plastic so I'm really careful unplugging/plugging cables so as not to crack anything. Manufacturer Support: Never had to deal with support. Overall: Overall, a great buy! Currently using it on a P4 2.4Ghz PC with WinXp. Make sure you follow the WinXP tweaking guidelines in the PDF on the CD.

Overall: Very functional, stable, and best of all no dropouts. I do recommend experimenting with the available drivers a little. Different revs work better/worse with different software.
