Feature:
DO NOT buy this if you want to multi-track. And the effects are terrible as well.
Quality:
May be a goo9d unit for a live performance, but definitely not for studio use.
Value:
You get what you pay for and with product I found out the hard way. I am selling this piece of junk after 3 days and buying a Roland VS2000.
Desirability:
Looked great, but looks were obviously deceiving.
Sound:
Here's the problem I've encountered. Very unresponsive and MIC inputs are so low that you have to really crank it to get a decent sound in MIX. Upon playback through the USB port it hums and hisses, pops and cracks.
Ease of Use:
The manual stinks as it tells you very little and Alesis has no tech support to speak of. The sounds are okay, but as I said... you really have to crank it and it is not possible to record multiple tracks. Even if the unit doesn't hiss and pop - when you try to playback (through headphones) and record another track in Cubase - your MIC will have a 1-2 second delay.
Support:
Had to speak to Tech Support Supervisor to get anywhere. People at Alesis are very rude. I will never purchase anything from them ever again.
Overall:
As I said... I will never buy another Alesis product again.
