Those drums sound really good.. way more realistic than the beats you hear with a lot of gear 👍

I’m thinking from what I’ve heard on YouTube that lots of people that have made it in music say that the time spent in the studio has been a corner stone that has helped them enhance they hard work they finally mastered their creation

Thanks for your technical expertise sounds good pictures good tunes catchy you helped me out with taking mine out of the box after 2 years so excited I just discovered my gadget of the year

The frustration with r12 were it included some things that we want (touch screen) but take out most things that we need while adding stuff we don’t need (guitar sim and mediocre effects)

Can you show how to copy and paste guitar parts. Bought one of these used for a steal at 70 pounds sterling. Thanks for this video am now subscribed.

You can use the card reader on the USB if you run the multitrack of your PC's power. I do this and it's very easy.

[ZoranRadovanovDrums]

best thing for playback tracks for live show

[aki_gong]

That looks like a super powerful 8 tracks recorder, to make whole track. I was wondering if it can be used as live looping too for performing live. Thanks for sharing.

Excelent explanation!! I need some advice about this issue if somebody can help me: I don't use daw, (obiusly no pluguins, IR, nothing) (just for simplicity)... I have guitar > Boss OS-2 > Digitech RP250 > Zoom R8 (Mic/line input). Of course sound is far away from ideal (even using the Amp simulators from the RP). Try a lot configurations but still horrible. Is there some trick or device to recording using my external effects directly connected in the recorder?

How well does it serve as a PC interface and as a mixer? For instance, mixing computer and guitar to my headphones for my personal jam and practice sessions.

Nice work here. I gather the internal rhythm/drums are quantized to some extent - but quantization doesn't apply to what's recorded from external sources. Am I understanding that correctly? If so, does that make it hard to redo/edit guitar parts? Are you relying solely on your own timing?

[Albrecht]

I am considering purchasing a used Zoom R8 and have two questions. Firstly, do you happen to know whether one can punch in - perhaps using a footswitch such as a keyboard sustain pedal to do so? Secondly, I'd also like to know whether it is possible to programme drum lines with tempo changes, or whether one would have to combine (and bounce?) various tracks to do that. Many thanks in advance for your help.

What other equipment do you use? Headphone amp? Mic pre amp when you use microphone? Do you ever record your guitar through your amp?

[averymcdaniel]

Im about to buy this unit for $100. Im totally new to recording. Is this a good starter recorder?

[pocojoyo]

sounds very good and tight. Do you play bass ?

[drlmusic]

How can you add fills on the drum track

[ThePoxBottle]

After the song is complete & I want to add a guitar solo, is it possible to jump straight to that section during active recording ? Rather than wait for the song again from the start to play at every mess up solo take

[Built--Drama]

How can i connect and use this on my mac book pro 2023 ? Do i need specific drivers?

[matro]

Does it have vocal effects reverb, delay, echo etc..??

[kennardwaters]

Hey Is there a compressor on the r8 and how do I use it? Thank you
