    Customer Reviews

    A very useful and capable portable studio. The Zoom R8 is an incredible, inspiring piece of equipment. I won't go into the tech details--you can find all the specs elsewhere. I'll just talk about how it's fit into my workflow.* The ability to record in .WAV files is excellent. It's one of the main reasons I chose this over other options, like the Tascan DP series. If you recorded it on the R8, you can just copy it off and use it anywhere.* Its timing--as in BPM--is rock solid and matches up to DAWs. For instance, If I record a demo in the R8 at 120bpm, I can create a 120bpm project in my DAW (Sonar X3) and import the R8's ,WAV files directly into it. It just syncs perfectly. No need to re-record. No need to edit or time-stretch.* The onboard mics are great. Just ensure you have a seriously quiet space (They're very sensitive and omni-directional), and you'll able to capture some great performances. They're also very convenient if you just want to lay down a scratch track anywhere, noise-be-darned.* I use the onboard drum machine all the time. I can't in good conscience call it realistic-sounding--kind of like a late-90's Boss DR or Alesis SR-16-type sound--but it's very useful for creating something to play against. They're also good for figuring out what kind of rhythm/feel you want for your song. I always record my own patterns, but the R8 brings a pile of stock ones.I used all the above on one of my most recent songs. I created some drum patterns in the R8, then proceeded to record electric bass via the 1/4" input, and two acoustic baritone ukulele tracks (lead and rhythm) via the onboard mic. I also recorded a couple of vocals tracks to finish out the composition. When I was ready to do a full production version of the song, I was already happy with the bass and uke tracks, so I just imported those into Sonar X3. Then I re-recorded the vocals, and recorded full drums and synth in the DAW. However, the original instrumentation--bass and uke--are the originals from the R8.I've also recorded a few finished tracks inside of it, making good use of the onboard effects and mixing capabilities. There's plenty of tweakability to the effects, and some hidden gems. For instance, you can do a tempo-synched delay, which is not obvious. Also, when you bounce down tracks, the original ones aren't destroyed. You can just go back into the file system and recall them. The machine simply has a ton of depth. I've had it a couple of years and keep finding new things inside of it.Tips:* I'd recommend pairing it with a good vocal preamp or processor. I like the TC Electronics Harmony G-XT personally.* Use rechargeable batteries. It runs fine on 4 Eneloop AAs.* For a case, I use the Case Logic LNEO-10 . It's a Netbook case that fits the R8 and its manual perfectly in the main pocket, and has a side pocket for the USB adapter and cables.* The Volca Keys is an amazing sound companion for the R8, . The Keys can produce everything from shimmery synth pads, flute-like sounds, hard leads, and really good bass sounds. It's very easy to play and a lot of to tweak. When I travel, I take a solid body electric ukulele, the R8, and Volca Keys. I've got a tiny, battery-powered studio everywhere I go.If you'd like to hear an an instrumental I wrote on a cruise ship using just the R8/setup described above, search SoundCloud for "markrossmore travel 03 demo". It's a simple little happy song using the uke (both clean and distorted), the Volca Keys (both as bass and synth lead), and the R8's drums.Drawbacks? Maybe that I wish I'd gotten the R24 instead, as it's easy to run out of tracks quickly, and that I'd like to have the eight simultaneous inputs. Each drum pattern requires its own track, so if you have three patterns (say, a verse, chorus, and a bridge) you're down to three usable recording tracks. Depending on the song, this may not be a big deal. I've recorded a few songs on the R8 using a single four bar drum pattern for the entire song. Like I said, I can always import the audio into my DAW and build a full drum track. Again, not a deal breaker.However, I prefer the small size of the unit. It travels beautifully. 5It's a great unit but not for film and video audio recording Buyer beware! This is not practical for video or film production and ZOOM should change that in the description. It does not create a clip overtime you press stop. You have to name a project and then save it. It's designed for music multitrack recording. It's a great unit but not for film and video audio recording. I was excited about the 8 tracks but if it won't create a clip when recording stops the it's useless. On the set you don't have time to create projects for every clip. 2easy to do decent quality multi-tracking I do multi-track a cappella recordings for fun and have used 4-track and 8-track records, as well as trying out the new Zoom Livetrak L-12 (which did not work - see my review of it there).This does the trick so far. It took a little bit of reading of the manual (which is reasonably well done) given that the track assignment / movement isn't exactly intuitive.I still have a lot to learn with this unit, but I have been able to put down some quick recordings in a few hours. I decided on this over the Tascam DP-24SD/32SD because of a) ease of use and b) the ability for this to be used as a DAW controller which I plan to move to eventually. 4Incredible product, one of the best purchased of my life. I bought this product for 300 dollars, and have recently seen the price drop to only about 200 dollars. I thought at 300 it was a steal... but for around 200? If you're even just considering this recorder, go ahead and buy it. It's incredible.I bought this recorder because I was just tired of using my computer for music production. I don't have a great computer, so I experienced many problems right off the bat trying to use my computer to record. I experienced latency while recording, which set off the timing off all my tracks. My sound card was a piece of crap. I also suffer from severe OCD, and really wanted something simple and clean to organize all of my recordings on.This did all of that and more.The recorder itself will do exactly what most of you what: record from a connected condenser microphone, and allow you to mix and pan all of the tracks. You can also connect various other hardware such as synthesizers, drum machines, and more. But there are SO MANY cool features on this device that expand beyond that including:- A built in guitar effects processor. You can plug your electric guitar directly into the device and it has digital amp settings in there with loads of effects you can play around with. You know those digital pedalboards by companies such as Digitech? It's very similar to something like that.- Mixing... the mixer and mixing capabilities on this device are amazing. You can of course do simple edits to adjust the panning, adjust EQ... but there are tons of other really amazing things on here, such as the "effects" section. There are "mastering" effects on here, which are presets that will automatically make your mix sound professional and incredible. If you record vocals and an acoustic guitar track, and then turn on the "warm" or "live" mastering preset, the difference is night and day.- Sampler. I haven't gotten into this feature as much as I'd like, but this device functions as a sampler. My favorite part about recording with this recorder at first was how easy it is to loop tracks. You can play a simple riff on guitar and loop it on one track, and use the other tracks to record tracks over in real time. But you can use this principle to use this as a sampler in live performance situations. I can take an MP3 of a song, load it onto the recorder, chop the part of the sample I want to use all ON the recorder, set it to loop, connect my drum machine, and play the drums live with the sample. If you have a very cheap, basic drum machine, you can effectively turn it into an MPC style device just by attaching it to this recorder.The one issue that stopped this product from being the absolute best purchase I've made in recent years is the drum machine. It includes a built in drum machine with drum pads along the bottom... but the included drum kits SUCK. It doesn't include drum samples you can just mix and match to make awesome drum kits. It includes a handful of really digital sounding, crappy kits that sound very un-even and stand out in the mix. In theory you "can" make your own drum kits by saving drum sounds onto the SD card and programming them to the pads as "samples", but it sounds and plays like s***. You can look up videos online of people trying to do this, it's a lot of hassle and doesn't work.It's nice that they included the drum machine, however. There are maybe one or two kits that are usable. But it's a great feature to have when writing songs and brainstorming. If you're already working out guitar parts on the recorder, it's so easy to just record a hi-hat rhythm with a kick and snare that will be perfectly synced up to your recording in a matter of seconds.I am extremely tired and feel like I'm rambling on, but this device is so much more than just something that will record and playback what you send through it.It's truly a home studio in a box. 5simultaneous multi-track recording !!!! the standard features of this product are expected, but the true power of this unit and what sets this apart from other compact/portable digital recorders is you can record all different sources at the same time with this unit. this outperforms what my computer and its editing software can do together. this is TRUE SIMULTANEOUS MULTI-TRACK DIGITAL RECORDING !! you can record 8 monaural instruments/sources at the same time, then its very easy to transfer tracks to your computer via the SD card to then perform further editing and post-production. 5The Incredible Zoom R24 If you are considering the Zoom R24....do not hesitate one second. I have had a Zoom HD16 for years, an incredible machine that continues to function perfectly after thousands of projects. But I decided to upgrade to the R24 and it's even better, faster, and has more of everything. Plus several new features....built in condenser mics, a sampler, a USB drive with files of rhythm tracks,and an SD card to name a few. I spent the first week with it recording an acoustic guitar singer/player.Recording an acoustic guitar is, in my view, the ultimate test, and the R24 killed it I am extremely pleased with the R24 and I highly recommend getting one. 5Great Product. I got this a few weeks ago and it's awesome. I needed something with at least six mix inputs (to record drums) and this is perfect. It's lighter than I expected it to be, but out of the box it's pretty easy to start recording. The directions are clearly written, but after downloading the drivers I haven't had to look at them. The best part is transferring to a computer. It saves to an SD card and my Mac Mini has an SD input, so I can leave all the mics hooked up and just take the card. In terms of space, the card is 2 GB, which has proved more than enough. One project with 8 tracks at about 5 minutes per ( (6 drum mics and direct-ins from the guitar and bass) comes out at about 30 Mb per file.So far, I've been working in Garage Band, but it comes with Cubase LE 6. So far, the first suits my needs. If you aren't familiar with Cubase, it may take longer to get going. Also, if you don't have a 3.5 mm to 1/4 headphone jack, you'll need one, or a set of headphones that has 1/4 plug. I got a chord to extend the headphones as well, which has been helpful while walking between instruments.Before buying, I wasn't sure if I would have time to record in addition to playing/practicing or if it would be difficult to get started. Looking back, I should have bought this sooner. It's a regular part of my practice routine and it's encouraged me to play more. For an entry-level recording interface, it does what you would expect fairly easily. Overall, can't recommend this product enough. 5Great machine for remotely capturing multitrack recordings. I haven't been a huge fan of portable multi-track recorders ever since computer-based DAWs began to dominate the marketplace. But I recognized a real opportunity here for integrating this little unit into recording process for remotely capturing raw tracks and bringing the results into my DAW for further mixing and mastering.I've primarily used my DAW for individually capturing tracks, but I wanted to get a multi-track recording of my band in a somewhat controlled manner (not live) and this was the perfect (almost) way to do it. I can take this unit to our rehearsal space, plug everyone in and capture the tracks as we rehearse. I can then later bring those tracks back to my home studio, import them, then mix and master the final product. It does a great job of that, but I also discovered an added benefit when our harmonica player forgot we were recording and messed up on his part of the song. Rather than hold everyone else up, I took this unit over to his house and re-recorded just his part while he monitored the rest of the mix, and ended up with a great overall recording.The only limitation in doing a remote multitrack with this unit is how to capture the vocals since we're recording everything live. The stereo outputs of the unit are disabled when the tracks are recording. But what I found I could do is use the headphone output and go to a powered monitor so the vocalists could hear themselves while we were playing/recording. I just turned down the faders on all of the instruments and left the vocal faders up so they could hear themselves in the monitors.This integrates perfectly and easily into our rehearsals alowing us to capture our performances without having to deal with an uncontrolled live environment. 5User Friendly, Great Price and Endless Possiblities After being used to analog I wanted to learn and hear the sound created by digital without a huge learning curve.This baby is exactly that! If you're used to digital, you'll be pleased, and if not with some patience you will beoff and running in no time! The possibilities are seemingly endless, a massive library of tone, amp simulationand effects. The percussion section of the unit is the same, you can use presets as far as drum beats, stealpart of an installed drum beat and add it to a loop, or Tap the pads and play all or sections / fills needed tofit your needs.Though I am still in the learning curve phase, I am recording easily as I learn which is great!I suggest you read reviews, watch videos and hear what this unit can do. You get a LOT of bang for your buck!Lastly and not at all a negative, being an "Old School" musician, the "warmth" of analog still is king. That beingsaid I searched that very term "Warmth" using digital, and there are many tips and hints to come as closeas one can to achieving that warmth.If this analog warmth is a goal to be reached, the Zoom R8 is totally capable in my opinion! 5Great multi-track recorder Great multi-track recorder. Very little menu-diving, only when starting and naming a new song, and when selecting effects for tracks, most everything else is available right from front panel. You can link paired tracks together if you do everything in stereo, that is what I do. It runs on batteries and has built-in mics, so it makes a nice portable laptop-size recorder. It has USB/audio interface, but I don't use that because you can just put the SD card into your PC to get all the audio files. It has sample pads, but I don't use that either cause I have a sampler. I like that it is a small recorder, audio goes right to SD with no conversion required, records 4 stereo tracks at a time, and plays back 12 stereo tracks at a time. The level meters are right there, the knobs/sliders are smooth. You can even plug in 1/4" line, or XLR mic, or guitar, or phantom powered condenser, or use internal stereo mics. The only thing it is missing is midi ports with midi clock sync, so you could sync it up with a sequencer and other gear, but that does not lower my rating cause I knew that in advance - if Zoom ever came out with a version with midi, I would upgrade. 5
