Just bought me one(digital 8 track) from ebay. It looks brand new...Tried it, tested it, and it works wonderful...cool think that it has usb and I can transfer all wav. files in to my computer and use a program to mix and add effects and compression and whatnot to the tracks...me happy...oh and it retails on about 700 US dollars, and I paid 360 for it...

the usb feature is awesome as fuck. i had a yamaha unit and did a whole 45min album with a band. had to track as much as i could with 8 tracks. burn it all as wavs to cd. mix those tracks, import them back in the recorder and then do vocals and overdubs. put those on cds and then finally i have all the tracks on computer. fuuuu

one advantage i never thought about when going to just using my pc is NOISE. the standalone units are quiet as shit, but computers are generally noisy bitches. DAMN!

Working on my first recording this thing is super easy to use...I am only using my fl studio and my roland sh101...Will try recording guitars later...

I really wanted one of these a couple of years ago but they were never in a sale, now though you can get a great deal on them, I'm probably getting one this week!

Does anyone know of any alternatives before I commit?!

Scratch that, I just looked on ebay, still going for £350 s/h, I guess that's testament to the uniqueness of the mixer/recorder element of the D888 - just what I need though!
