I don't see why anyone couldn't do production from scratch to pro quality CD with the Zoom stuff, my aforementioned neighbor is still using an older Zoom product, I forget the model. Or maybe its a Roland. I forget that kinda stuff.

Any way you choose there is going to be a learning curve, but at least with the dedicated recorder things don't change literally from day to day, so what you learn only has to be learned once. The dedicated recorder has that advantage and for many it can be a big advantage. The tradeoff is that once you buy it, it will be stuck in time, as it were. That's not necessarily a kill, either. You have to weigh those things and decide which tradeoffs are for you, man.

Yeah, I didn't start out to become an ubertechnogeek, all I wanted to do was replace my old large and expensive 16 track analog studio. I actually thought it would be a simple task, silly me.

Bam.

You been hit.
