@JeppeRaskDK In any software that supports mackie control surfaces I think you need to select the zoomR16 as such. So, in cubase you would have chosen this unless it was a default. There is a channel on youtube called ProAudioDVDs whereby the presenter shows you how to do it in cubase and I'm pretty sure the same method (in principle) applies to any software that supports mackie control surface.

I think this youtube link for the cubase version...

@TableWolfMusic Do you have a link? Cause i can't figure out how to make it work. I've sent Zoom an email, but they didn't seem to reply. It doesn't say at their website, whether it works in pro tools 8,9 or 10. They only talk about Cubase, which i have - but don't want to use. What can you suggest?

@Felderoth Yes it can record 8 tracks simultaneoulsy into DAW. It does this in 44.1khz, just as it does on the SD card standalone mode. The "two track out" mode is for when you wish to record in 96khz. Frankly, the quality at 44.1khz is amazing and so I'd doubt you'd notice the difference. By the way, you can link two of them together to record 16 tracks.

@fordshop11 It does all of that. Excellent for drums, especially those phantom power mic inputs form a matched pair of overhead condensor mics when recording your cymbals.

@JeppeRaskDK yes, as a mackie control surface too.

@VVS3 Yes or you can "pair up inputs" to make them stereo and then map that back onto a single track as a stereo for each of the 8 tracks (hence R16). I made it sound complicated just then (youtube comment word limit) but it really isn't and the manual is brilliantly easy. Great devices. You should try them.

@samsontech Please release some linux drivers for the zoomr16 (& zoomr24). Other manufacturers are doing it for their products. You're still selling the zoomr16 & have released, for example, windows7 drivers after only winxp, and win vista were included on the cdrom (along with mac os x). That was nice of you so please, search online at how many people (such as ubuntu studio) are desperately trying to get the zoomr16 to work in linux. Dell Laptops ship with ubuntu. Take your customers seriously.

The R16 record in mono?

[JeppeRaskDK]

Does it work in Pro Tools LE 8.0/9?
