(More customer reviews)I think it is sad that there are only 2 reviews of this device and they are negative. First off if you have a bizarre random recording program that no one has heard of, then you may run into technical problems. I am using sony acid and it works beautifully. The 2 track at once concept is what I really love about it, the sound quality next, aND the overall ease to use it. as far as the rumors of the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH are concerned, i did have some blue screens...but they by far were not the death screen. some computers dont work well with the driver that comes with it...the computer will periodically tell you via blue screen that it doesnt recognize the hardware or the driver and that it needs to be disconected. disconnect, restart and youre good. my computer did it a few times at first, then automatically removed the driver....the device still works fantastically with my comp..i have had a blue screen come up once since, in a 3 month period. it depends on you computers age and processor speed. i have had no problems with this device and would highly recommend it to anyone else.
