2.0 out of 5 stars Wanted to believe. Wanted to love it., September 13, 2011

This review is from: Zoom R24 Digital Multitrack Recorder (Electronics)
I did a lot of research before ordering the R24. I've owned other multi-track recorders, but this one looked different because of the amazing combination of features. Here's the break-down:

The Good:

+ Excellent sound quality.
+ 24 tracks of audio. More than any home studio needs.
+ Portable, battery power option, and built-in mics.
+ Eight inputs for recording.
+ Good value. This is more recording power then Elvis or the Beatles ever had and it's available for a price the average musician can afford.

The Bad:

- Effects: Every type or overdrive and distortion sounds like the same digital garbage. Not even passable.
- Dynamics: The recorder is very sensitive and the noise reduction feature is useless. You will not be able to record single-coil guitars without a dedication NR (noise reduction) pedal. EQ and pan are tedious to use without a single dedicated knob.
- Small display: Given the number of menus... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Just bought my second one!, September 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Zoom R24 Digital Multitrack Recorder (Electronics)
Well, the title says a lot. I liked the first one so much, I bought another. My focus on this recorder is just that - to record. I have no plans to mix on this machine, so my review does not pertain to the many mixer or effects featues. (Although from other reviews I have read, they are great). It does an excellent job of recording.

Pros
Lightweight - very portable.
Uses batteries or adapter.
Manual is very well written by someone with an excellent command of the English language.
Excellent value.

Cons
No MIDI whatsoever that I could figure out. One review I had read, hinted that it has some type of MIDI capabilities, but I couldn't find any. This is unimportant to me, but to some, it may be.
Only 1 dedicated direct input for guitar. It would be nice to have at least 2, but of course you can record by microphone up to 7 more.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, but timing drift! Also, MAJOR BUG!, September 26, 2010

This review is from: Zoom R24 Digital Multitrack Recorder (Electronics)
This product, combined with good external preamps, provides a great cheap solution for very good multitrack sound. When used alone to produce pure audio, it's fine! But it unfortunately has a significant timing drift that makes it problematic to sync with other devices (e.g., to use R24 audio with video, or with audio recorded simultaneously by another device). I hope Zoom can address this issue soon!

Update after extensive testing: I've downgraded the review two a grudging 2 stars... On five separate occasions, while everything seemed normal DURING recording, when playing back or transferring into a computer it has turned out that some of the tracks started recording only white noise partway through the session. This makes the machine useless for my purposes (long-form recording of live events). Again, I really hope Zoom will address this... bt I'm not getting any response from customer support...!

Further update... Zoom has acknowledged the problem, and... Read more
