R8 : Bye Bye Tape, Welcome Digital
In terms of size, this little thing looks identical to the Fostex 4-track cassette recorder I once had. But it is at least 6 times lighter. The resemblance end there, because this recorder packs the power and ability that many professional studios in the time of that Fostex never had.
The manual and YouTube are enough to get the first recording within 15 minutes, after which the process becomes intuitive: arming new tracks, creating rhythm tracks, bouncing, processing, mixing, mastering. The in-built microphone may not have the highest fidelity, but it makes laying down an idea on the run a breeze.
The Zoom R8 is well worth the 299 Euros it cost.
