From what I've read, this unit appears to be best suited for recording in a band situation (it's like the multitrack cassette studios from days gone by...but better!). It has a basic fx setup but one major concern is that there is no send\return for outboard processors, just the internal fx. It offers decent digital editing features with a USB connection to a computer so you can further process your audio. It looks to be a little less confusing (interfacewise) than the typical digital recording workstation. I actually prefer its mixer setup for a home studio because you can leave your gear hooked up to individual channels, without having to re-patch all the time, or invest in a patchbay. Just wish it had a send\return for external gear.
