How the hell can they make this stuff so cheap?

I think they pull a lever and just stamp it in one operation. g One
thing that cuts back on the costs is manufacturing engineering. They
put some time into designing the machinery (that they can re-use) and
get the build cost way down. And when they get it down far enough, they
can push sales way up. And of course by making something that's not
designed to be serviced, they cut way back on technical support and
sustaining engineering.

But then how do they make all the functionality of a multitrack
recorder and mixing console so cheap? Same thing. And if you don't
think they've cut back on tech support costs, just try asking for some.
