Anyone use the Zed R16 to record live?

I'm getting an A + H Zed R16 in a few weeks time and I'm thinking of using it not just in the studio but for live work as well. I'd basically like to connect the Zed R16 to a laptop running Logic and record the show onto that. What I was wondering was whether it would allow me to record the signal pre EQ, so I can later mix the show at home, or will it record straight to the DAW using the EQ I've set for the show. Thanks.

It will allow you to record pre-EQ or post. There was a big thread not long ago about the R16 and has lots of details.

Don't know about the ZED 16, but my 3-year-old Mackie Onyx 1640 is running flawlessly. Paired with a DAV Broadhurst Gardens BG8 micamp, it's a nice, compact live tracking solution, with a MacBook Pro (1st gen) running Logic and a OWC 7200rpm SATA FW400 drive. I'm tracking a band tonight, and Monday as well. Tonight's gig is PA as well; Monday is a FOH split. I do mix weekly on a GL3800, and it's a nice sounding console. I can't imagine the ZED would be a step down.

Here's a rough mix sample from a 3-guitar jam at Grimey's Basement last month. Lee Roy Parnell and Friends, straight into the Mackie. Sennheiser E-series clip on the snare; D6 on the kick; NT4 overhead; 57s on the amps; bass and keys direct. Vocals (not in this clip) were Beta 57, at the artist's request.

Thanks guys for the replies. Really looking forward to getting the ZedR16.
