@JuanCarlos3941 I love them. They were the first good quality headphones I bought so I have had them for a bunch of years. I originally bought them for drumming which they worked well at keeping my acoustic drums from overpowering music, and they cut out regular environmental noises to zero. The audio is clear, and they are very durable. Downside is they can get uncomfortable if you wear them for hours and hours, but anything would. I hope this helps.
@hazzathebest Well I have no complaints about using the Eurorack. It served me well. Every single song before this one was done using a Eurorack so you can listen to them to hear how it sounds. I used a Phonic Digitrack to connect the Eurorack to my PC. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions and I will help you out as best I can.
Honestly the only person who has tried to sing on it is myself, and I am no vocalist lol. So I can't give a truly accurate opinion on the mic. I do like the mic though, and am happy to have it. It does produce crystal clear audio and gives it a slightly warmer feel being a tube mic. That's about all I could say, if I had the choice to buy it all over again I would.
Thanks for quick reply. I've got good comp, 9850 quad core, 6gb hs ram, 2-500gb HD, 2x768mb 9600 GSO's. AND 8channel audio onboard, that stinks!
Get too much latency, even with ASIO. I figured, rather than spend $200-$400 on sound card, spend little more and get something tangible. Then I could transfer to computer for editing. I'm old school, reel - reel, "daisy-chained" 4-track cassettes, . Little intimidated by new recording technology, even though I'm a computer builder, tech, lol !
No problem I just got a new electronic drum set and new computer so I will be releasing a new song and video soon with my new equipment. For sure let me know what you get and how you like them, and also if you upload any videos/songs message me and I will have a listen. Take care.
I'm upgrading to Windows7 64-bit, but waiting because of driver issues. Checked Zoom's tech in JP. They are going to release 64 bit drivers, some time late April,2010. Hope this helps. Also, I'm going to purchase a Zoom shortly. Can't decide between HD16 or R16. Any suggestions? Ease of use, problems with, ect...? Thanks in advance for any help.
Cool thank you very much for letting me know that they will be releasing drivers for 64-bit systems. I was going a little crazy lol. As for the R16 or the HD16 it will basically come down to what you need and how much you want to spend. If you have a powerful computer good software and just need a wicked controller then the R16 is the way to go running at under $200 Or if you are lacking in the computer and software the HD16 is almost a complete workstaion able to record and burn quality right
from the board itself but it can also transfer the music to your computer and or act as a controller. But you will be looking at spending more then $400. I have not been able to use the Zoom HD16 so I can't really compare them. I will personally only be using the R16. But it will be up to you what you need and how much you want to spend (Quality from both are probably close to equal just the HD16 allows you to record right on it) I hope this helps a little. Thank you for the comment.
Sorry I have just been looking at prices on the units and I guess they are selling for around $600 for the HD16 and $400 for the R16. Hm I thought I paid less then that for the R16 but maybe not. (These are Canadian Prices I'm using)
i'm having trouble using my r16 as a controller/audio interface on cubase. I hook it up using the usb and on cubase it shows that the zoom r16 is connected but it doesn't record anything.. i have no trouble recording straight onto the r16 itself however, it'd be nice to be able to simply use it as a controller and edit on cubase. any suggestions?
Unfortunately I am having the same problems. I thought it might just be the cubase, but I just bought Sonar 8 Producer edition, and now the actual Driver disc that R16 controller came with won't work on my computer. So I have been recording all my tracks on the R16, then hook up to my computer, hit USB on the board, select card reader, then when my computer sees it I copy all the tracks into a folder and import them to Sonar, If I figure anything out I will let you know.
more than likely, it's because your computers operating system is running on 64 bits and the software disk that comes with the r 16 to turn it into an audio interface is only compatible with a 32 bit operating system. You'll either have to downgrade to a 32 bit O.S., or wait until they come up with an update that will make it compatible. You'd think that all the new software coming out would be compatible with 64 bit, it just makes me want to buy a MAC. PC's are too much hassle.
With the R16 you have 8 inputs which double as both 3/4 inch jacks, or mic jacks. So you can have up to eight inputs recording at one given time. And everything from this song is done on the Motif, thanks for the question and comment, I hope it helped, if not hit me back and I will try to help you out.
Unfortunately right now my a5's are just hooked up to the R16 so I use them primarily just for recording and playback, then I send the songs onto my laptop where I mix them on Sonar 8 and use my headphones. But they are excellent sounding in my opinion. very crisp and clean, I would recommend them. You will want a good sub to go with them though.
The R16 can either record 16 seperate tracks per song right on it, you have your first eight tracks then you hit a button on it and it gives you an additional 8 tracks. Your mics could stay in the same spots you just then have to use that same button to switch between your first eight and your last eight. It hooks up to my computer and I copy and paste all the individual tracks to my computer in any file folder you want. Then I open my software and import the tracks to there, the tracks can be
edited individually on the board or on my computer. The R16 also can act as a controller and allow you to as your recording be hooked up to your computer enabeling you to record directly to your computer. I hope this helps if you have any more questions or anything to get cleared up please feel free to ask.
Let say I use the zoom as a controller of my Cubase or any compatible recording software, can it record more than 16 tracks simultaneously? Thanks for sharing the vids, I like the way how you made your studio simple but looking through all your gear is amazing. The yamah motif alone is worth a fortune already :) plus the drums set man :) Thanks again.
The Zoom itself only has eight input jacks that fit both mic cables or the standerd three quarter inch jack. So if you wanted to go into the zoom then into your computer based software it would still only be able to do eight tracks at one time. But you can always go back and add more tracks. The sixteen tracks that the recorder can do is if you are recording right on the zoom, and even then you are doing eight tracks at one time, then you press a button and it switches to another set of eight
tracks which use the same connection ports you have already used but you can hook up 8 totally different mics or whatever then switch between the first eight tracks and the last eight with the push of a button. I really hope this helps you. I just recently bought a laptop and Sonar 8 producer edition I just haven`t had time lately to record. If you or anyone has anymore questions don`t be scared to ask. Take care, and thanks for checking out my videos
What do you think about Technics RP-DH1200 Headphones?

The battery sound of this song is coming undoubtedly from Motif. I guess it is Rock kit. ;-)
By the way, can the Zoom R16 record two synths at the same time in stereo (4 line inputs recording at the same time)?
Thanks a lot.
