Record, sample and play back with this powerful Zoom R8 multi-track recorder. Eight recording and playback tracks make this recorder ideal for production or for jotting down musical ideas. Connect to external mics, electric guitars and basses, and line-level sources, or use the built-in stereo mics. This recorder's internal mixer includes faders, EQ, panning and more than 140 built-in DSP effects to create studio-quality stereo sound.
The R8 also functions as a pad sampler and rhythm machine, with eight velocity-sensitive pads that let you trigger up to 24 samples, drum sounds or loops. You can also create your own custom loops and samples, with quantisation and time-stretching to help you find perfect synch. Pair this recorder with your DAW software for use mixing with Cubase, Logic, Ableton Live or Sonar, and download Sternberg's Cubase LE software for free using the included license. The USB port lets you connect as an interface for DAWs, and you can record directly to SD and SDHC cards.
