"This is one of the best multi-purpose recorders on the market. Why do I sell it?Versatility! The ability to add your own condenser mics is one of my favorite features. Data transfer is a breeze and you can use this as an audio intreface. I can see this in the hands of any sound designer, field recorder, videographer or sample junkie. I have one sitting next to me right now and can't wait to walk around the downtown area recording sounds to add to my music later. Also, it's easy to use!"
