As a tascam dm3200 user this was an excellent choice as a bridge upgrade from the motu 828mk2. Once I made my choice the ordering process and delivery was brilliant. Gear4music will always be my 1st choice if I need any musical or studio items.

I get my gear from Gear4Music

I ordered an item late on a Thursday (after 10pm) and it arrived on the Friday. No fiddily courier app to download either. The Item was described and displayed exactly as it is. I am very happy with the service. I have used Gear4 Music for personal and professional 'gear' and they have not disappointed. Great value, great service.
