    Great for musicians that have a phobia about using DAW.

    The recorder is cool but you cannot record unless you have a compact flash card. Silly stuff! A bit of a learning curve, but not a bad machine

  • I been screwed!

    don't know if it even works since it came without a card for any memory. It is lightweight and flimsy. Had vague description of product and feel as though I was taken advantage of. .I can find and have found much higher quality boards at a third of the cost .unscrupulous seller....

  • Nifty multitracker.

    I replaced my old unit which died after much use. Did not have a learning curve so that was good. Quality was like new. After before expected. Good experience.

  • Fostex MR-8mkII

    Great update of my previous red Fostex MR8! I'm using this machine to augment my Imageline Producer 20.7 FL Studio, and my Tascam 24SD Portastudio run through twin Behringer digital mixers...

  • NOT EASY TO USE.

    Much to complicated to use. I tried to record myself singing a song and "nothing" no recording.
