it will let you mix and playback 8 tracks at once. its extremely affordable for what it does. The easiest of those zoom decks is the R8.

The easiest with the most compatiblility is the Zoom R8/r16/r24 series. I'm sure this has been asked and answered a thousand times before.Ĭlick to expand.i've owned around 15 multi track recorders from the tiny boss br micro (both versions) to Roland VS2400cd. I'm certain the programming would be WAYYYY easier on a computer.Īny suggestions or a link would be helpful. I would also like a built in drum machine.
REAPER LATENCY WITH MT POWER DRUM KIT SOFTWARE
Next question is what software to get? I'm more interested in something that is easy to use than something that is feature-packed and complicated. Are the USB interfaces good enough these days? My first question is, is a laptop or desktop preferred for home recording? A laptop would probably need a USB interface, but a desktop would allow me to use an interface card. I still have the old desktop but I'm wanting to replace it. I'm not looking for professional-grade quality, just something good enough that I can put it on youtube where no one will listen anyway. Then a bunch of personal life type stuff got in the way so I gave up on home recording.įast forward to today and I'd like to give it a try again. The computer ended up having a bad motherboard (I've built a bunch of desktops so I'm know what I'm doing) but once I got that sorted out I still had issues with the interface card. I got a PCI interface card and I think it came with an intro version of Cakewalk.
REAPER LATENCY WITH MT POWER DRUM KIT PC
I used, and still have, a Yamaha cassette-based 4 track recorder, an Alesis HR-16 drum machine, an Alesis Quadraverb, various effect pedals, and a Radio Shack mixer.Ībout 10 years ago I tried to modernize and built a desktop PC with the intent of using it as a home studio. The last time I did anything was in the early 90's. I'm thinking about getting back into home recording again.
