VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Excellent dynamic range. Very useable effects. Built-in drum machine sounds realistic, but difficult to program without help from external PC software. Feature: DAW interface to Cubase and other vendors is a big plus, allowing the familiar controls of the unit to operate the software-based controls. Built-in CD burner allows this to be a stand-alone unit, no longer have to fire up a PC to burn to disk. USB has several functions. Tracks are easily transferred wav files. Ease of Use: Transport controls are the familiar tape type controls. Menus can be a little tedious on such a small LCD display. Individual channel strip type layout, with a small meter bridge makes mixing a bit easier. Quality: Excellent all-metal case. Input jacks are top-mounted, making for easy access, but a bit of a rat's nest when many cables are being used. (I prefer the ease of access to aesthetics). Value: A multitrack recorder, drum machine, multiple effects that can be used simultaneously, CD burner, and Digital Audio Workstation with CubaseLE included. Price all of these separately, then decide for yourself! Manufacturer Support: I noted a particular problem that would result in a track being accidentally recorded over, and reported this to Zoom. They have released a software upgrade that fixes this problem. One, or many voices? Who knows? What counts is that they listened and fixed the problem! The Wow Factor: I like the sound of Zoom's effects. Relatively easy set-up. No hassles with latency issues, patches, viruses, and everything else that drowns creativity when using PC-based software, especially when near the limits of the PC's capabilities. Overall: PC-based recording can offer a lot of flexibility with plug-ins that a dedicated multitracker can't. However, using the multitracker as a controls interface, such as the HD16CD can, brings it back into the picture as a sensible way to input tracks without latency, then edit the tracks on the PC with Cubase, using the HD16CD to control it.

Sound: SOUND IS OKAY TO ME......KIND OD MIDDLE SOUNDING TO ME AND A LITTLE HARSH W/O A LOT OF EQ'ING...I HAVE TRIED 3 PAIRS OF MONITORS AND HAD NO BETTER LUCK.....I PREFER A CREAMY SOUND AND THIS UNIT IS A LITTLE HARSH AT TIMES..ESPECIALLY ON MY VOCALS. Feature: FEATURES ARE OKAY...HEADPHONE OUT JACK IS WAY TO LOW AND NEEDS A BOOST TO BE HEARD BY A POWERFUL SINGER.....CD RECORDER WORKS GREAT.....SEPERATE EQ KNOBS WOULD BE A DREAM.HATE HAVING TO JOG DIAL EVERYTHING.TO BE A DREAM COME TRUE IT NEEDS REAL BUTTONS FOR A 3 SWEEP EQ AND 12 INDIVIDUAL OUTS FOR USE IN A REAL MIXER WOULD BE HEAVEN.THOUGH WOULD ADD MUCH TO THE COST THAT I WOULD GLADLY PAY FOR... Ease of Use: I HAVE OWNED A ROLAND, YAMAHA, AND FOSTEX HD RECORDERS TRYING TO FIND AN EASY UNIT TO DEAL WITH AND THIS ONE WINS HANDS DOWN! Quality: MADE WELL ENOUGH.....NOISY CD DRIVE. Value: YES Manufacturer Support: NO The Wow Factor: SEX APPEAL IS NOT FOR GEAR AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED Overall: I WOULD BUY BETTER IF IT CAME ALONG
