I just bought one of these things and it is the coolest thing I have ever seen. It sounds absolutely crystal clear and fabulous (I'm used to a tascam tape 4-track). I have got no idea how they could put something out like this for $1500. Best cabbage I ever spent. Using its input mixer with midi sound mods while syncing to get vocals, drums, etc I'm sure you could put out a damn good sounding demo with it if not a full CD (given you know how to premix). If you don't already have one of these things and your into getting your stuff onto tape I would strongly recommend you look into them! Ahh... now if I can just find a nice dead room to record my drums in without creating angst with my neighbors!
