Easy to use and intuitive.
Good quality
Ambitious and promising
But falling short on capacity. Definitely needs more processor to keep up with all its own features. Prepare a large cup of patience to drink while it "thinks" every single step of editing you order it to do from the third track further. Easy to have it quitting those "thoughts" and lazying into "error", actually.
It cuts, it trims, it nudges to properly sync the bass player (eheh) to tempo, ..all sorts of cool tricks you'd be doing with your DAW only before; but... as I said, with time consuming effort after it starts becoming a little more complex.
It's understandable, I guess.
Other than that... awesome recorder, cool effects, A LOT of excellent features you can read about somewhere else that make it an almost all-in-one recording studio, ...till the moment good solid (full-plastic) sturdiness, great touch screen, no complaints. Really.
Still, one star taken for its "brain".
Love it
Bought this as I am not a huge fan of DAW anymore. I didn't require all the features of a DAW like plugins and such. This unit gives me 16 tracks and an easy to use interface. I have a vision impairment and although the screen is a little small,it is perfectly usable. For me personally it's a nice compromise between old school tape multi trackers and digital ones. Very happy with mine. I would like to see an Android version of the wireless interface but the R20 alone gets 5s across the board. Nice job.
