This review is from: Fostex X12 4-Track Cassette Multi-Track Recorder

Just an analog recorder. Looks good. Small, which is a good thing. Thin manual.

In case you are wondering, there is no USB slot to hook up to computer, it's fully analog. Also it only has one input. If you want to hook up additional instruments at the same time, you'll need something else(like an effects box).

I wish it had those things, but I didn't want to pay more for something else so I guess it's my bad. If I had to do it again, I'd probably get a digital recorder that I could hook up to my comp.
