How long have you use it?

1 month ago and I am delighted by the beast.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

A multi roughly similar brand Tascam, and its big brother, the zoom R16.

What thing do you like most?

-The Simplicie use, care that does not clearly mean that the tool is "simple" in the full sense little, instead there is a lot of functionality but is easy.
It sets the tempo, the metronome (can be set only while it record and therefore no tic tic in the final mix) is launched, we play a guitar track, bam one instrument changes, we add a battery above, and so on ...

-Number Patch and effective instrument, there is a lot of amp models (Fender, Marshall and even Diezel, for example), mastering effect (done sound check as a live rock, as a jazz record, as a record of the 30s, and all this in just one click ...) it will even be able to simulate the reverb of the Budokan in Tokyo, that's how my stuff is complete.

-The Side "plug and play", no need to bother with a lot of adjustment on a computer DAW, there one branch, be it a guitar, a microphone, a synth or a drum machine was live sound . To give you an idea in 10 minutes I pulled it https://picosong.com/9fL3/ with just a Strat and a drum.

-its Can also be used as a sound card of the classic, special mention to Cubase LE included in the box.

How do you like the least?

Not much to say, go simulations bass guitar are not convincing (anyway I n''ai never seen one indeed able to make it sound like a bass guitar ...) but it can still help. Editing drum track using the pads is not very easy even though I have not used much since playing on my Roland TD4 instead.

How would you rate the quality / price?
With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Very good Q / P ratio. With experience (and especially money) I think I will turn to the R16 in order to record 8 instruments at the same time practical enough to repeat them with friends.
