I don't know where to start....I love my little recorder. I have a super talented youth performance group I record frequently.I take this gem around with me because it is soooo compact. The sound is amazing and clean. The reverb is also great. The only con is track number doesn't show when song is loaded....THAT IS SO DUMB that Tascam did that.
