I've owned it for a few years now, and have never bothered to mix and master on the unit. I record my tracks (send FX only, so the track is recorded dry). When I've got it all together, I EXPORT to my iMac and import the tracks into Reaper for editing, where I have MUCH more control over the outcome ... eg; volume envelopes, track automation, more precise EQ, better FX, more control over how a CD is written, many more output options (WAV, MP3, etc) . ... and an exponentially better user interface. Unless I want to add tracks, the song never gets back to the DP24 after tracking.
I love the DP24, but it isn't the be all and end all of recording. It's just very a useful tool.
