The R24 Digital Recorder, Sampler, USB Interface and DAW Controller - Combines a 24-track recorder, audio interface control surface capability, drum machine and sampler functions.

The Zoom R24 is great for live and studio applications. Simultaneous 8-track capability and Playback up to 24 tracks using it's 16/24 bit linear WAV format and 44.1 or 48kHz sampling rate.

The R24 functions as an audio interface enabling direct input of sound to a computer. Support for high quality 24-bit/96kHz encoding ensures great sound. Eight input channels and two output channels can be used simultaneously. If you use the sampling rate of 44.1kHz, the internal DSP effects of the R24 are also usable on your computer track. A dedicated control lets you adjust the mixing balance between the DAW playback sound and the direct sound for monitoring.

Transport and mixing operations of the DAW software can be controlled using the R24. This gives you greater control and a better feel for mixing. In Mackie control emulation mode, major DAW applications such as Cubase, Logic and Sonar are supported.
