Zoom unveiled last month their new digital multi-track recorders, the Zoom HD16CD and its little brother the Zoom HD8CD. Both of them feature a very useful 80GB internal hard disk, 100 digital effects (like reverb, delay and compression), an internal drum/bass machine with touch-sensitive pads and up to 500 drum sounds, 16-bit/44.1 kHz linear PCM recording, internal CD-R/RW drive and USB 2.0 interface
The Zoom HD16CD is a 16–track multi-track recorder that also features 10 virtual takes per track, recording up to 8 simultaneous tracks, 8 balanced XLR 1/4″ combo inputs (with phantom power), 2 high-impedance inputs (for guitar or bass).
The Zoom HD8CD is a 8–track multi-track recorder that also features 80 virtual tracks, 8-track playback, recording 2 simultaneous tracks, 2 XLR 1/4″ inputs and sampler function (to add original drum sounds to drum kit).
Both recorders come with Steinberg Cubase LE and the prices are $549 for Zoom HD8CD and $699 for Zoom HD16CD. A very good tool for digital home recording with an affordable price.
