R8 : Great recording device

6 years ago

I was frustrated with recording into pro tools and watching the screen as I played (very distracting for me) , then jumping into editing and mixing too early in the process so I got this device solely to record my tracks and ingest later into DAW for mix/edit. It is perfect for that role. The machine is very easy to use, weighs very little and there are tons of features built in that I will probably never use but many others will, such as using it as a control surface and the rhythm tracks etc. I mostly use a small preamp and compressor on the way in but I have also found that recording directly in works well when I want to put some sketch ideas down very quickly.
