I’ve got a BR80, it’s pretty much the same thing in compact form without all the sliders and input. Great little unit I use it more as a practice tool and the odd bit of recording. Mics are actually pretty good.
I’d guess there isn’t the market for the all in one units as there was, everyone seems to use Daws (pro tools, audigy, reaper etc). If you want physical sliders/inputs you can get interfaces with usb support for sliders and inputs but laying one track at a time is often easiest for home from my limited experience.
A few of the guys on the forum linked bought the zoom R8/16 which are similar and they like it. It’s nice having everything in one unit but the modelling is 10 years old in these devices and not on par with GarageBand, IRs and plug ins. Most of the features are far in advance on a daw like drums etc as plug ins are so abundant now.
The problems with these units is the interfaces tend to be clunky and you have compromises fitting everything in one box. Once you use GarageBand it’s just so easy and quick, on the pro tools you have all sorts of fancy features. So a cheap used MacBook and interface will likely do the job better
Used prices for these units are pretty good so you can always buy one try it if it works keep it if not flip it. |
