Quality interface with lots of plug-in options.
Great quality interface with 2 HP sends and Console 2 software allows me to track everything through a Studer A800 tape or API/Neve's on the way in to PT or Ableton. Choose your plug-ins wisely as this can be an expensive rabbithole to go down.

Unnecessary complexity leads to unfathomable outcomes.
This thing sat on my desk, testing my patience for a year and a half. I just could not wrap my head around even the basics of this thing. So I gave it one more try before throwing it in the ocean. 6 weeks later I had about 40 song ideas. I still have almost no idea how some aspects of it work and honestly I see no reason why anyone would make something so unnecessarily counter-intuitive. I'm really big on simplicity and in that department this is a total disaster. However: it is very powerful and allows you to do things that I've never seen anywhere else except Ableton, so... I love it I hate it. *If you buy one search reddit for the "Merlin guide to Octatrack".

Everything in it's right place.
If I lost all of my gear, I would replace this and my subpac first.

Best deal in audio.
Incredible for interactive live sequencing of analog synths via CV or MIDI and drum machines and incredibly cheap. You can do stuff like the always evolving arpeggio in "Silent Shout" by The Knife. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uI1KXHJVO8
