R8 : the best in this range

I was following this product since a long time and I wanted to buy a compact studio. Suddenly the price dropped like 40 percent and I purchased. I think it is the best for this money, if you want to get an alternative it cost almost double, some does not offer the build in guitar effects. Well I like it, even though it is a good plastic enclosure somehow it feels a bit like degraded. It could have been more solid but this does not mean that it has a bad enclosure, it is just the strange feeling what I get. All in all it is very good device for home use amateur guys, the sound is good, coming with cubase LE. lots of features, thumbs up. Now I can learn to make actual song, a lot of details, intro, loops, solo, rhythms and so on and it is not complicated to learn the functions. I would suggest it to my friends..
