I bought the Digi002 at the recommendtaion of a friend who had invested a great deal of time into finding the componants for his home studio. He did in fact previously own a recording studio in Bristol England and had spoken with various contacts before purchasing the unit. I spent a little time at his home recording studio familiarising myself with the Digi and was so impressed that I decided to buy one myself. The Digi002 is now the centre piece of my home studio. At present I have 4 different guitars (Fender Stratocaster, Ibanez Jem7D, Line 6 Variax Acoustic, Yamaha Bass) a Microphone (MXL V69) and a midi keyboard (Korg Kontrol 49) connected to my Digi and I use all of them regularly. I have been using the Digi002 for some months now, becoming more familiar with the hardware and the flexibility of the software. The unit arrived with pro-tools le, reason, cubase and other software besides however I find reason and pro-tools provide me with all the tools I need. All of the buttons on the digi are large and clearly labeled, I had no difficulty in getting used to the controls and setting the intY up. I will admit that at first I had a hard time getting the Digi installed, this was due to my computer at the time and not the Digi. It was at this point that I needed to contact the digi technical support team by email, who helped to quickly solve my queries. A couple of times since I have had additional queries but in those cases I visited their website where they have a database of problems they have encountered and the solutions they found. I am slightly heavy handed with my Digi002, often recording the same guitarpart a few times over to get it sounding just right. Thankfully I haven\'t had any problems in terms of wear and tear. The sliders are still extremely accurate and the buttons continue to respond well, I suspect that they will continue to do so for some time. This was my first attempt at setting up a recording studio and so I spent a good deal of time searching around for the right componants and speaking with people both in and around the industry. Of all my purchases I would say that without doubt the Digi002 was the right choice (shortly followed by my MXL V69 which I love to bits). When I bought the Digi it cost me a good deal of money (1600 when I purchased it) and on my salary that was alot, but as I say I thought about it for a long time and the Digi002, the mixer, is essentially the heart of the recording setup and should be given a great deal of care and attention. Please spend a good deal of time reading reviews and looking around before buying your mixer, as it is an important part of your setup. I personally am extremely happy with my Digi002 and wouldn\'t think twice to replace it if stolen.
