DP-24 SD : Indispensible tools for my setup

My band used this in our studio to record our first record and we're starting the second with it as well.

The attraction is the ease of workflow- we simply don't want to deal with a non-dedicated laptop, the delays caused by endless clicking to get things set up.

The sound is good, though we have had a few problems recently preventing clipping on the snare, even with compression and the gain all the way down.

One reliability issue concerns the SD card- at a certain point we ran into some trouble with a "writing timeout" error. It's a Tascam-approved SD card, which is frustrating. It hasn't happened on the 3 other cards (also Tascam-approved) that we've used with it.

The unit is solidly built. If lost or stolen i'd definitely buy another. I may even buy another one anyway.
