I tracked and mixed a few projects using Logic for bands I played in but that was 10 or more years ago. I used some other multi-track machines prior to that.
I agree the R4 is intuitive and you almost don’t need a manual. It actually reminds me of the Boss BR-8 I had years ago (an early digital multitrack that recorded in 24-bit onto Zip disks) more so than the old Fostex and Tascam cassette 4-tracks, but there’s some similarity to those cassette machines as well. The sound quality of the R4 is on a different level though, which is great. I referred to the manual a few times but for the most part the operations are fairly obvious. Yes, I really like the simplicity of this device.
