He says "buh-uns" just exactly like my daughter! LOL ;)...but, enough of my snarky remarks on his speech habits. This is a very clear explanation of how to get started on the R8. Thanks!

Could this be used just as an interface to a daw like a focusrite? I just found mine after years 🤣

[Kevin_Fungus]

Love this thing and use it constantly, the simplicity is great and I come up with better songs when I’m not using a DAW. But be warned it has a big downside which is that it’s a battery monster. If I use it a lot it needs new batterys daily

[Phillip-yd]

Buh - uns are so gangster 😂
Great demo, dude👍

What does a marking do? how do you make a multi track?

[MrChangouno]

I have used to SD cards and both of them what work they are brand new every time I answered it go to Tool go to format choose yes it gives me card error please press exit. I try again and again and it gives me the same error every time. Is there something wrong with a machine it is brand new I'm just trying to use it the first time

I play guitar and sing but I have never owned a recording device.for the songs I would be recording i would need 4 tracks tops. is it easy to get the hang of these ? it looks very complex to me.

Hi, thanks for vid -very helpful - just one simple question ? Is there an easy explanation for "dropping in " - i cant figure out how to cut little mistakes and drop in new parts for mistakes - thanks you if you know an easy way . cheers .

[mikeydvd]

We’re you ever able to record onto the sd card. Then take the sd card out and put it into the computer and extract the song recorded and use let’s say garage band to edit the recording further.

When I press Pan EQ for a Track & go past Cho Send & come to Fader, does anyone know what effect this has? If I don't want to Fade the song in or out at any point what number should Fader be at?

[gaharaiden]

hello, dude. i wanna ask something about Zoom R8, can it work for backing track when i use in stage? i mean, is it can insert a many wave i have mastering and played for perfomance?

[michaelolaleye]

Can the pre-recorded TEMPO of a pre-recorded pattern/patch of a Zoom R8 (Multi Track Recorder) be altered from the pre-recorded tempo while using/looping/playing back the pre-recorded pattern/patch?...as I can seem to be able to alter the tempo/altering it makes no difference to the playback.

[mcka]

How do ya get the song onto other devices phone for example ?

[maxxja]

Is there an app so the sd card will play on vlc player or windows media player it wont recognize the codec..pls help thanks

[edasunvictor]

Do you upload the song to ah computer ?

[lapidarecords]

I have one of these and when it is turned on it is stuck at the beginning and it tells me that it waits for favor, which is what I have to do so that it does not happen when I turn it on

[dannylee]

I know a guy who has this, and he want's to know if we can use this to record a demo of his band playing live at a show.. Is this possible with this?

[Davepurington]

Other than the drum tracks this whole song was recorded on an R8 and then the audio files were dumped into pro tools and then the drum was recorded.. The R8 is an excellent tool..

[jonahpaz.]

As an audio interface, is this device as good as the Scarlett 2i2?
