question on the Zoom R16

[blueshadow]

Hopefully not covered and not too dumb of a question:

Using as a live recorder, with no lap top, do you record directly to the SD card and then can you mix from there or are you done what you got live is what you got?

What I'd like to be able to do is record a gig live and be able to go back and recut vocals.

every track recorded is its own wave file... so later on you can mix on the R16 or you can dump everything into your DAW and mix.

It might be a bit of a trick if there's bleed of the live vocals into the other tracks (there's got to be some if anything else is mic'd) and then you want to redo the vocals. I suppose there are workarounds and wonder how this is accomplished. I've never attempted such a thing.

I would think that it would be problematic with bleed. I'm glad to know that at least it can be mixed though. I'm still way on the low end using a sony minidisc recorder, I've got some pretty good live stuff though using it...problem is if one source is hot then ruins the whole song, or sometimes the whole night.

Here's a live recording from a few weeks ago I did on my zoom r16:

I think it's ideal as a portable recorder for live shows. That's my main use for it.

I recorded that on 7 tracks and then stuck the SD card into my laptop and pulled to audio tracks into Pro Tools to mix.
