  Scroux's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Good quality / price ratio"

  Characteristics

  After going through a tascam and a big fat KORG D3200, I finally opted for this little all-in-a summary.
  
  I use it personally for models quietly, I am content to a mac and garage band with a small condenser microphone Prodipe taken for guitar / voice + a set of low-end in t-bone taken for battery. Bah, and it's fine with me:) Far from being an engineer, I just want equipment that allows me to get something listenable in a short time. The zoom is fine. By pushing it into a corner, I'm sure we can achieve results very nice if indeed that is somewhat comfortable with software mao a little more efficient.

  Utilization

  Used with garageband. Few bugs.

  Getting Started

  Drivers needed, even on mac, but then it's a breeze.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a few months, I tested two other models before. Tascam a very basic, and a Korg compelxe for me too.
  
  Excellent quality / price ratio: posted not far from € 550, I could bring it back around € 415 a little negotiating with the store manager. Great deal for the money, I do not at all want to part with it.
  
  
  
  Most:
  
  
  
  - Price
  
  - Loyalty and "finesse" records
  
  - Accessories delivered automatically (USB key, memory card, AC adapter, USB cable ...)
  
  - The weight
  
  - The methods of use (sound card pc, portable recorder mains or batteries)
  
  - The two small microphones which are embedded the trick to capture fast 2, 3 ratings
  
  
  
  The -:
  
  
  
  - The limited opportunities in mobile recorder

  mikrokos49's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " problem identified"

  Characteristics

  The 8 canaus input with phantom power supplies 6: the dream for a portable device.
  
  I use it as an interface for mobile studio, combined with Cubase on a Macbook.
  
  I associate exclusively with microphones for live recording overhead.

  Utilization

  No major concern with six simultaneous tracks for phantom power supply (entries 3-8).
  
  A latency of 0.5 seconds is noticeable when taken with a recorded track.

  Getting Started

  Simple installation, the interface is seen as the installation of related software.
  
  A - however, noted recently: audio interface does not like being fed independently with the AC adapter supplied: this scenario generates saturation for each input (the crackling). This problem disappears when I leave the USB input power interface (from a Macbook itself on sector).

  Overall Opinion

  Knowing circumvent the problem on my installations, the equipment is easy to use and easy to implement. Especially easy to transport into a mobile studio.
  
  I am very satisfied with the quality / price ratio.

  Drumisan's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  One of the few digital recorder in this range to offer 8 tracks of simultaneous recording. (Used to record, among other things, an electronic drum that mobilizes already 5 entries)
  
  
  
  Otherwise, a mixer, a recorder, a drum machine, effects guitar / bass tuner, a metronome ... all on batteries and that fits in a backpack ... nice.

  Utilization

  8 recordable tracks simultaneously, and 24 in reading.

  Getting Started

  No problem interfacing with a PC.
  
  
  
  Cubase (Light version) supplied. Transfer of records from the zoom without worries. Mixing end of Cubase. Obligation to purchase a plug-in (ds 20 euros from memory) to export the mix as wav file.

  Overall Opinion

  No test other models unfortunately. No idea if the scan is as good a solution with audio interface + computer.
  
  
  
  Cons:
  
  - Why a single high impedance input? the idea of ​​being able to simultaneously record a low & a guitar, it's still classic (rock instead ..), right?
  
  - Tiny screen (buy a magnifying glass ..?)
  
  - Time (15/20 s) to resume recording (stop / rewind / Rec ..)
  
  - Design cheap
  
  
  
  
  
  Price OK but not as a basis for comparison.

  Utilization

  Drivers on a PC without problems on XP
  
  The software supplied with (Cubase LE 5) software is installed but the key is what she wants and I had to uninstall it and then put my Cubase SX 3 which works well.
  
  I record 3 tracks max for now, but next to beef ...
  
  Documentation only in English, you should download the FR
  
  Instrument/R24 response is very good and I is not tried the direct PC.

  Getting Started

  Installation is all alone ...
  
  The setup is simple, since neither nothing to configure.
  
  You still have to follow the manual loan to avoid losing something.
  
  And the manual is clear but not complete as always (you must know computer music)

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 3 weeks and is getting better
  
  I sort of BR600's excellent that with better effects.
  
  I like the memory space and easily accessible 24 tracks
  
  I do not like the fact that we can not assign an input jack to any track and change it without any disconnect.
  
  The camera is great asses and they could have a bigger screen!
  
  When we move from tracks 1-8 to 9-16, there is nothing to indicate the tracks recorded on 1-8
  
  Little trouble in the fader.
  
  
  
  The price (450 €) is very correct with respect to overall quality.
  
  
  
  As there are choices to be 24 tracks including 8 simultaneous inputs at this price, I advise to all.
