| It is pretty easy to use, however, I did find the manual sometimes confusing. It does have a very extensive manual with it but this is my first time using a recorder like this so I had to read the instructions several times in some cases. | | Sound:
| The tone is good. | | Reliability:
| I have only just gotten it so I don't know how it will stand up over time. | | Overall:

| | | Subject: | Pretty Handy! | | Quality:
| The quality on this is quite good it's made of a hard plastic, I have dropped it a few times it never hurt it any.
I did have one of the EQ sliders pop out on me but it was pretty easy to put back in and have not had any troubles since. | | Features:
| There is alot of Features on here, i got it because it had Vocal correction and a Drum machine. Which was kind of a waste i never use either I use it as a center point for my Mac Production.
there are alot of features on here to play with, you can spend countless hours recording and being unable decide which effect you like better. | | Ease of Use:
| it's not to bad like any new equipment it takes a bit to get used to it, my best advice is keep the manual handy, like i said earlier there is alot of features on this recorder. | | Sound:
| I really hated to give the sound a average rating, but i never use the effects on here because they just sound kind of cheap, Sorry thats just my opinion. but if your just in a hurry and want to record and idea real quick the effects are fine. but i have never done a final take with the effects on here, once again I leave that to my production software. | | Reliability:
| i've had it over a year never had any problems | | Overall:
| I really like this Multitrack recorder, It has come in very handy for me. If it broke or somthing happend to it, I think i would defently look at buying another. | | Do you own this product?:
