I just feel it could be a little better in quality. I usually take time to read reviews on products before I buy them. This is my first bad review of a product.

But this unit just didn't satisfy my need. Tascam has been around along time, and have been a asset to the home recording people. The knobs feel very weak as well as the sliders. Seems the revised MK 424III has had some changes including external power source, and the inputs have been put on the back of the unit intead of on top. I bought this because it was recommended by others who had the MK 424II. Musicians Friend customer service is very good about returns, I'll give them a 10. I decided to send the unit back for a refund. The knobs and sliders feel cheap, and so does the 1/4' inputs. My first recordings were rough, but the sound quality wasn't what I was expecting. It took a little time to understand how the unit works. The over all operation of the unit is pretty easy. I am new to the recording scene, and I wanted something simple to use, that would give me some nice demo type recordings.
