I bought this from a recording studio. He demonstrated how it worked and how to use it, but I never got around to it, so I'm selling it. You can master your recordings and burn high quality cds with this unit. You can make your own studio quality cds and sell them independently at your gigs etc without paying for high dollar manufacturering and distribution.
