When I had sight up until about two years ago I used various multi-track recorders and mixers. I no longer have any of those. I also sold all of my guitars and basses except one. But I am hoping to eventually get back to recording again if I find a suitable solution in the future. Merv

But, as far as accessibility goes you got the most accessible 1 at this point. Look at it this way. Do you use mikes with XLR? Do you need phantum power? Do you need those big thumb sized jacks that some 90s headphones had? or that electric guitars I guess still have? Will you produce music? Like a DR Drey? I ask all this as a long way to ask do you need something like a Zoom? Because if no then yeah sure you missed out on better quality, but meh you saved loads of cash. Just remember my earlier warning. The recordings though real good and real crisp will sound little. If things sounding little doesn't bother you then actually you got the better 1 accessibility wise. You can now set the clock and stuff on your own on this 1. On the 100 and even the 14 you would need a sighted person to do it.
