What can you say - probably one of the widest used systems. An industry standard in project studios worldwide. Compared to a disc based system they can be (and are) a bit slow and clunky but with two and a BRC, you can achieve lot.

Interfaces easily with anything that supports the ADAT lightpipe, once you have it on tape there is something to be said for that as a storage medium.

Good Points
It works (most of the time), simple, good for recording live players when you don't want the hassle of a disc based system. Interfaces to analog and digital. You can mix to them also with a good drop in xfade it is possible to mix a track in sections. Offseting sections is simple with the BRC
Bad Points
Slow lock up times, only 48kHz can be a little temperamental mechanically - worth keeping serviced.
