Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Very well made, sturdy, no flimsy pots or wiggly buttons, LED is easy to read, ports and inputs/outputs are secure. Get the AC adapter with it. It's needed. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? All features and top-notch; however, I was impressed with the individual track REVERB. Wow! Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? My ONLY complaint area: a bit cumbersome setting up for SD CARD to record new songs. Lots of wheel rolling and button pushing - took me about 30 minutes to learn how to set up, record and playback, and editing/saving new unmixed song tracks. However, beyond these minor complaints, once you get the hang of it, the sound quality will simply blow you away! I have always been a fan of TASCAM. Sound How is the tone? TRUE and amazing. I use Behringer monitors, too- and they are, in my opinion, the very best studio recording speakers. Are they what makes the difference? I don't think so; but they help! Reliability How has it stood up over time? I have owned this product for only a few weeks; but past TASCAM products have lasted for decades in my experience. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I am so pleased with this product. Yes, when I first saw it's 8 3/4" x 5" x 1 1/2" stature, and felt it's minimal weight, a slight worry crossed my mind. Having now recorded several songs, I am blown away by the sound quality. Even the Internal Mics record true!
everything I've wanted and more...

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I find this to be a well made product, considering that you can take it almost anywhere! Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? I love almost everything about this multitrack machine! Including you can fade a song out in mixdown mode!! Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? All the functions are very easy to access. I haven't had any big troubles so far. Sound How is the tone? It sounds amazing! In some case it sounds more realistic than I vison it in my head. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Its has only given me one problem in mixdown recording, but I think it mainly happens with really long tracks. Otherwise, I couldn't be happier with this highly peforming product. Overall Your general opinion of this product. It is the best thing I could've hoped for. I wouldn't go traveling anywhere without it.
GREAT RECORDER

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? THIS UNIT IS VERY WELL BUILT AND DESIGNED. THE FEEL TELLS YOU IT WILL BE AROUND FOR A LONG WHILE. NOT A PLASTIC FEEL LIKE MOST ITEMS THESE DAYS, BUT METAL WHERE THERE SHOULD BE METAL. 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 DIFFERENT EQ SETTINGS AND IN-OUT REVERB IS GREAT. GREAT CHOICES. Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? IT WAS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS AND THEN USE. VERY USER FRIENDLY. Sound How is the tone? THE TONE IS REAL WARM BY JUST PLUGGING THE GUITAR DIRECT IN THE RECORDER, SOUNDS EVEN BETTER WHEN USED WITH MY EFFECTS UNIT. VERY SURPRISED NOT A STERILE DIGITAL SOUND, BETTER THAN THE OLD CASSETTE TAPE MODELS. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I HAVE JUST HAD IT TWO WEEKS, BUT I CAN TELL BEING BUILT SO WELL THAT THIS MACHINE WILL HOLD UP TO THE RIGORS OF LIVE RECORDING, AND THE HANDLING OF A FEW MUSICAL MONKEYS. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I WOULD BUY ANOTHER IF THIS WAS LOST STOLEN, AND WILL RECOMMEND THIS MODEL TO ALL MY FRIENDS.
Great Recorder
