Very good, but some drawbacks to consider.
3 of 3 found this helpful Overall, this is a great product. I just purchased one used for $238 (shipping inc) vs $600.00 new. However, a few issue to be aware of. I don't consider this a true 8 Channel recorder. Tracks 7-8 are a stereo pair to which you cannot record separately. While I use my old VHM5 vocalist on those tracks for stereo background vocals, I prefer to have the option of how I would use tracks 7-8. Roland seems to thing everyone will use them as bouncing tracks--WRONG!! I should have done more research.
The manual is, well, terrible. I had to access an online tutorial to properly program the drums after following the manual for several hours. However, it may just be me, but several other reviews concur.
OK, that out of the way, the sound from this machine is crisp, accurate and clean. I was able to put together a basic song using acoustic guitar, electric guitar, lead guitar, piano, base, lead vocals and background vocals (yeh, tracks 7-8). That used up the 8 tracks but was all I needed. I use an M-Audio Fast Track with Acid Pro 5.0 for using loops and basically unlimited tracks when ever I get that creative. I have the unit hooked up to my surround sound amp via the optical output. I use this for the final mix. I also used the FX, pan and eq in moderation which added a nice touch to the recording. If the issue of tracks 7-8 is a problem, I would buy something else. If not, then you will be very happy with this unit.

Great Replacement Value
I decided to try these generic filters and bought the 3 pack which was half the price of an original. Following the directions, I ran water through it for about 5 minutes. The taste is very fresh and I'm glad I purchased these.

Perfect match.
This is the perfect match for the M97XE cartridge. Nice mellow balanced sound. I'm sure a $200.00 + Jico is better, but really? I like to balance my audio equipment with properly matched components. This sounds great on my Dual 1229 vintage turntable.
