Customer reviews

Overall Rating 4.8/5 (8 reviews)

As good as it gets for a portable multi-track. Easy to use. For us who remember the days of Tascam's 8-track reel to reel + mixer desk that took up the footprint of a sideboard (and cost around £3,000 with some tape), this is genius. Everything is here (except a DC supply with its unusual plug size - understandable - you don't want people plugging in a 9 or 12 volt supply!

What a wonderful toy. Easy to use, most of it is pretty intuitive, but when needed the instructions are very clear, be sure to read them through before use re: file handling and transferring files.
