In a word, Yes. CV is just another virus among thousands of viruses in our environment which up until this year everyone pretty much ignored. Notice how nobody gets the flu anymore? If you get sick from anything now, it's CV. I would treat a used mic the same way I have always treated a mic that...

OK here is the low down from ZOOM. The R8 can only do 2, the R16 and R24 can do 8. So I would really like an R16 to play with and see what I can do with it. Thanks guys

I sent the Review to Zoom. Could it be they don't know their own equipment? I'll let you know what they say.

Very Disappointing Just heard back from Zoom Labs, the R series recorders will only record two simultaneous tracks. Looks like I'll stick with the TASCAM.

I am surprised they don't emphasize the 8 track capability more clearly because that is a very important feature for someone looking for a real 8 track to DAW interface. If I can verify that for sure I might just take the plunge and upgrade to that.

The Zoom demo shows the control interface, which is very cool, but failed to demonstrate multi-track recording using the DAW. I know it will do 8 tracks at a time as a standalone just like the Tascam models, if fact it looks just like it, but I would like to know if it will record all 8 tracks...

Yeah, that's what I thought. I looked at the Zoom, but it's not the same. I am currently using an old TASCAM Portastudio which handles the simultaneous 8 tracks very well, it's just a pain to then transfer the 8 files into SONAR for processing/mixing. I am just surprised none of the high end...

Just thought I'd check to see if anyone was aware of any new equipment that integrates a true 8 track recorder (will record 8 tracks simultaneously) with a computer based interface. The Roland V-Studio was a real innovation because it was such an integration using SONAR as the control face. Why...

OK, lets say you are correct, what's the alternative? Buy an $800 snare, mail order, only to find out it sounds like crap. Then what do you do, eat it and move on to the next $800 dollar gamble? I'll trust my ears regardless of the room, especially in a recording situation where the mike will...

Your best bet when purchasing any drums or cymbals is to try them out in person. For the snare, bring what ever equipment you may use besides your ears to tune your drums and a pair of fresh heads that you prefer. Then prioritize the possible drums you want to try out and go to work on each one...

Could it be possible that's the reason the other guy got rid of it?

Someone in this thread asked, "why is this isolation needed in a live situation" and I did not see an answer. Please, what is the purpose for doing this?

I'm going to need to take a little trip and visit the area Sam Ash store to check out the Pro Audio department. Will be educational to see what they are pushing these days. after two years I'll bet I won't even recognize it anymore.

Personally, how I play is directly related to what I am hearing, so I want to hear as close to the finished product as I am playing. I just play better when my instrument sounds really good. I looked it up and it was the Roland V Studio I was talking about. It was integrated with Sonar but had...

Been out of it for a while and I was wondering how much things may have improved. I used to use Sonar but i was always disappointed the any effects had to be applied post recording. There was that Roland recording system that could apply live effects but only a very limited number were available...
