The VS-2480 is an all in one V-Studio solution that will have you drooling. It's ease of use and endless features allow for professional quality recording for a fraction of the cost. It does carry a hefty price tag, and with all the accessories available, you could go a little money crazy. All in all, this is the end all piece on the market today.

Good Points
Easy to use, low learning curve, PC interface, SOOOO many ins and outs, virtual routing.
Bad Points
SCSI port is DB-25 which has not been used in eons, so it is hard to find a CDR that will work. Also, only allows burning at 1x, 2x, &4x no matter what.
