Really intriguing. I've been tempted to go analog just to get away from the screen/mouse trap. Without knowing anything about this unit, I'd like to think it's not going to be the only one of its kind out there in the near future. I do love working in Logic, but I curse the screen every day. I've tried digging up various earlier recording tech - I brought my 4-track and both of my Roland VS units up from the basement. More recently, I picked up a Tascam Model 12 and a Zoom R8. The latter have been great for getting songwriting done, but if there's a legit/viable standalone recorder that does all the show pony tricks I need, phew!
