Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
the gate and compression with gain control work seamlessly together, forming a top notch single unit add on for discreet 8 channel recording. the compressor reacts with lighnting speed and is very easy to set it so the recorded track doesnt have that "over compressed wah wah" sound. full band instruments come through loud n clear without overdriving the signal.

this item is literally "out-of-the-box" ready to go.i use it in direct line per-interface. its got the sensitive touch for vocals and great limiting, gates for drums. thi sunit does exactly what i s stated. great for live perfomances to capture that live feel without losing signal strenght or allowing any channel to be recorded with clipping. as a studio item, it works wonders. have found easy tweeks to turn a dead kick drum into a studio dream. lil gate, some compression, bam, instant awesome.
