It is very good still - we basically only use it as a recorder though. Spilled some beer on it once and had to open it up and wash the keys, but no issues other than that. It is not very mechanically strong, but has had no problems. Still, it's much simpler to record 16 tracks of stuff on the zoom sd card and simply drag and drop to daw for further editing than try to use a daw for all. It is permanently at the rehearsal room usually, ready to record.
I have still recorded vocals etc. On a daw. Actually Spookbox has been so slow lately our drummer has been mostly using it, making his solo music. He takes it along to his cottage and runs on batteries and records. Works fine.
I would not buy it as my only soundcard, or the only way to record and mix demos, but as a multitrack recorder, can't think of anything easier, so I'd well recommended it for such use.
