Excellent dynamic range. Very useable effects. Built-in drum machine sounds realistic, but difficult to program without help from external PC software.

DAW interface to Cubase and other vendors is a big plus, allowing the familiar controls of the unit to operate the software-based controls. Built-in CD burner allows this to be a stand-alone unit, no longer have to fire up a PC to burn to disk. USB has several functions. Tracks are easily transferred wav files.

Transport controls are the familiar tape type controls. Menus can be a little tedious on such a small LCD display. Individual channel strip type layout, with a small meter bridge makes mixing a bit easier.

Excellent all-metal case. Input jacks are top-mounted, making for easy access, but a bit of a rat's nest when many cables are being used. (I prefer the ease of access to aesthetics).

A multitrack recorder, drum machine, multiple effects that can be used simultaneously, CD burner, and Digital Audio Workstation with CubaseLE included. Price all of these separately, then decide for yourself!

I noted a particular problem that would result in a track being accidentally recorded over, and reported this to Zoom. They have released a software upgrade that fixes this problem. One, or many voices? Who knows? What counts is that they listened and fixed the problem!

I like the sound of Zoom's effects. Relatively easy set-up. No hassles with latency issues, patches, viruses, and everything else that drowns creativity when using PC-based software, especially when near the limits of the PC's capabilities.

SOUND IS OKAY TO ME......KIND OD MIDDLE SOUNDING TO ME AND A LITTLE HARSH W/O A LOT OF EQ'ING...I HAVE TRIED 3 PAIRS OF MONITORS AND HAD NO BETTER LUCK.....I PREFER A CREAMY SOUND AND THIS UNIT IS A LITTLE HARSH AT TIMES..ESPECIALLY ON MY VOCALS.

FEATURES ARE OKAY...HEADPHONE OUT JACK IS WAY TO LOW AND NEEDS A BOOST TO BE HEARD BY A POWERFUL SINGER.....CD RECORDER WORKS GREAT.....SEPERATE EQ KNOBS WOULD BE A DREAM.HATE HAVING TO JOG DIAL EVERYTHING.TO BE A DREAM COME TRUE IT NEEDS REAL BUTTONS FOR A 3 SWEEP EQ AND 12 INDIVIDUAL OUTS FOR USE IN A REAL MIXER WOULD BE HEAVEN.THOUGH WOULD ADD MUCH TO THE COST THAT I WOULD GLADLY PAY FOR...

I HAVE OWNED A ROLAND, YAMAHA, AND FOSTEX HD RECORDERS TRYING TO FIND AN EASY UNIT TO DEAL WITH AND THIS ONE WINS HANDS DOWN!

MADE WELL ENOUGH.....NOISY CD DRIVE.
