H8 : pocket monster studio

2 years ago

it is a great multitrack recording machine that you can carry in the pocket... as musician composer and music producer i am recording music and working with musicians all over the world... at some point it became inevitable to complete an air travel friendly studio equipment and ZOOM H8 became a core of it...

with 6 XLR channels and 2 channels through a stereo override of a capsule microphone you can record 8 tracks without modifying the machine... it works well as a recorder and as a sound card... when running on batteries you can literally do recordings anywhere... as a soundcard with computer it becomes a powerful production tool... i was using it some times even as an improvised mixer for the small music performances... the A/D conversion and preamps on channels are working well and create a sharp but warm sound... maybe there could be more options for outputs and better way how to store tracks as a recorder but all in all it is unbelievable what you can do with this pocket monster studio...

there are also other features on ZOOM H8 but i was using it only to record music so i can not say nothing about other features

here are some examples of music that was recorded and produced with ZOOM H8
