Frequently Asked Questions

It provides incredible headroom, preventing clipping even with loud sources, allowing for more flexibility in post-processing.
While technically possible with 4 tracks, it's more suited for soloists or smaller ensembles due to limited input count and processing power.
It's a solid starting point, but for critical applications, consider pairing it with external, higher-quality microphones for improved audio fidelity.
