After recording, these ideas can export from a DP, you can be editing and mixing raw song data and recorded data on your DAW.

Only really because the controls and buttons are quite small. Then again its very transportable. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
