1.0 out of 5 stars Device unreliable and cumbersome, June 29, 2009

Have owned device for one year. Used to track and then dropped tracks using the USB port onto my iMac. Found this process cumbersome and time consuming.
The unit continually freezes and looses all recorded material at least once every time it is used. Have changed hard drives and had repeated attempts to solve the continual issues this product has. Attempted to contact TASCAM. Found them full of superior attitude and derisive to their own customers as well as their own product.
This unit will go into the trash.
TASCAM has now been added to my don't buy list. Buyer beware.

This is great for the home recording enthusiast. I use it for my mobile recording studio, and it sounds great, has tons of features and is very rugged.
