Zoom HD16 (HD-16) Digital Hard Disk Recording Studio with Minor Issue

This used Zoom R8 Recorder has an issue with the play and stop buttons and comes with the Manual and a Power Supply.

Condition

The play and stop buttons are loose/sliding around in the housing, and you have to move them around a bit to engage the button. Or you could remove them and just hit the actual switch underneath. No returns for that reason. Everything works on the unit. Please see pictures for details on item condition. Only what is pictured is included.

Product Details

Are you looking to produce some decent, full-band demos? Got the next bedroom symphony masterpiece trapped in your head? Thinking about getting into audio engineering? A digital multi-tracker is a great way to start making your own recordings, and the Zoom HD16 digital hard disk recorder has everything you need to take your music from concept to completion. While many multi-track recorders are either powerful but difficult to use or simple to operate but lacking in features, the HD16 strikes the right balance to help you make the most of your sessions. Its intuitive layout makes mastering the basic recording process a snap, with an amazing depth of functions typically unheard of in its price range. You'll be laying down tracks right away, with plenty of pro-quality extras waiting for you when you're ready to dig a little deeper.

Lots Of Tracks, Lots Of Record Time
With sixteen tracks, you'll be able to track and mix projects both big and small. Whereas most multitrack recorders in the same price range are capable of only two- or four-track simultaneous recording, the Zoom HD16 can record up to eight tracks at at time; plenty for recording full, professional-sounding drum tracks. And you'll still have plenty of room for multiple overdubs. Fill up the remaining tracks, and you can mix them down to a dedicated bounce track to free up even more tracks for overdubbing. You even have up to ten virtual tracks per channel, meaning you'll be able to record multiple takes of, say, a vocal performance, without ditching the previous attempts. You're able to try them all on for size and pick the one that really shines through. With an 80GB hard drive included, you won't have to worry about running out of available recording time. The HD16 can hold up to 240 hours of CD-quality, 16-bit/44.1kHz digital audio.

A Self-Contained Production Studio
With the Zoom HD16, you'll be able to realize complete productions, from tracking through to finished CD. A whole studio's worth of high-quality digital effects are all at your disposal, all arranged into different groupings for easy access. You get specialized vocal, guitar, and bass effects make it sound like you've been tracking at a world-class studio, whether you record in your rehearsal space or your basement. Integral recording effects like compression, limiting, and Zoom Noise Reduction are on-board, as well as rhythmic effects like chorus and flanger that can be synchronized with your performance by setting a master tempo. For the final steps of the recording process, the HD16CD sports a suite of pro-level mastering effects, including a multi-band compressor. Twenty one mastering presets make it easy to give your finished projects the punch, sheen, and polish of your favorite records. Once you're happy with the results, send the master WAV files to your computer over USB, or pop a blank CD-R or CD-RW into the built-in burner and hand out CDs to all your soon-to-be adoring fans. Recording, mastering, and distribution? You're a mogul!

Session Rhythm Section Inside!
Not many studios come with their own rhythm section, but the Zoom HD16 does! Nine trigger pads with three sound banks let you play one of twenty different kits, with drum sounds ranging from studio-grade acoustic sets to old school electronic drum machines. Combine them with the eleven distinct bass voices, and you've got a built-in rhythm section that would make Sly & Robbie nervous! You can even build your own percussion kits using the 70-second sampling capacity.

Connect Your Computer, External Sequencers
While the Zoom HD16 is more than capable as a stand-alone recorder, expandability is also an option, thanks to smart USB and MIDI support. Use the USB connection to drop your recorded WAV files into computer-based workstation software, and then use the HD16 itself as a control surface for tactile mixing and transport control! Adjust fader levels, pan tracks, and more from the hardware, and your software follows right along. Do you have a hardware sequencer or additional recorder? The Zoom HD16 can tempo sync to any MIDI-enabled audio device for nearly infinite expandability, with or without a computer.
