I've been looking to buy an interface and a portable recorder, this combines both and at about half the price of buying the combination, plus it also works quite well as a controller in the DAW. Why no one else has come up with a competing product is beyond me, but with 8 inputs, a controller interface, and an onboard recorder(16 tracks worth), you can't beat the value on this. There's absolutely nothing close to it in the price range as a single unit or otherwise.

This is a good product, if it works right. I ordered this product, and it only works half the time. It powers down by itself at random times. The reason I bought this is cause my friend bought one (A brand new one), and I used it and liked it. I was going to buy one. This product is discontinued, so I decided to buy a used one. I risky move. So, I found one at a reasoning price, and it was listed "mint", so I bought it. Now it doesn't work half the time and there are no returns on this product. So, this is my review. Like buying a used car, is it a lemon or not! But life happens!

It's pretty good for the price. Definitely does a lot. I read that it was basically the R24 (which i already own) minus the 8 extra tracks and drum machine, but that's not true. It's more different than that. It has a much worse screen, terrible menus, and a very strange "insert" naming convention where every time you go to change a letter it actually adds one so you either have to delete all the extra letters or end up with a bunch of weird names. I would have bought the R24 again I'd known it was going to be this much worse of an interface. The R24 is a solid 5-star device.

I purchased this unit to connect it with another r16 for simultaneous 16 track recording. So far it has worked flawlessly. It is lightweight and has small physical footprint. There are two suggestions I could make to the company. First of all, it would be a good idea to have a -10 or -20db switch for the input as sometimes the input signal, especially if you are getting a feed from a mixing board, such as during a live performance, can be too "hot" and cause the channel to peak. If it's only peaks occasionally you will not get distortion. Secondly, the VU meters are a little difficult to see if you are recording outdoors during the day. I know this unit was meant for multi-track, studio recording, and it works very well for that purpose. I've been using it for live recording and have no complaints except the two suggestions mentioned above.Read full review
I find this very helpful when making videos, I can use all types of microphones as well as using the camcorder mics to establish time code so I rarely have the need for ADR. It is great to use for capturing live sounds for effects and foley.. It has blended well with my existing studio equipment.
