R8 : Easy to use, reliable

I've been using this one for three months now, and I've been holding my review to have a better perspective of it. Now I'm ready, and let me just preface everything my saying that I'm very satisfied, and I would absolutely recommended if you need to have an easy to draft ideas on the go (as long as you don't mind humming songs in public areas, as let's say, a train), or having a USB recording interface which you can actually use without the need of a computer.

So I guess the best thing about this tiny little device is how versatile it can be.

Originally I was supposed to use the Zoom R8 to have stereo backing tracks ( prerecorded electronic percussions and backing vocals) and be able to perform live, whilst having the ability to sending the CLICK to our drummer.

Much to my surprise, the R8 can be set to "audio Interface mode". This turned out to be an amazing option, because when we're rehearsing I'm easily able to layer/add new elements to they tracks by integrating the performance with Logic X (my DAW of choice).

Signal processing is very fast on the R8 is very fast, both for stand-alone playback, dubbing, FX, and it's also true for the Audio Interface mode. Hitting on the "low latency" button on Logic allows me to easily and effortlessly record new ideas.
