Zoom HD16CD Digital Multitrack Recorder

The Zoom HD16CD Digital Multitrack Recorder; Record and mix on your PC or take on the road as an all-in-one DAW!
Decisions decisions. Do you need a full-featured hard drive digital recorder or a computer loaded with DAW software and a pile of digital interfaces? ZOOM engineers have made this decision easy, just do both. With the new ZOOM HD Series recorders you get a fully loaded hard drive based digital workstation that allows you to record in your studio or live on location and then upload the tracks into your computer to the supplied Cubase LE DAW software. The ZOOM HD recorders are fully functional control surfaces that you can use to mix and edit recordings on your computer.

Each ZOOM HD Series workstation is loaded with audio inputs (actually A/D interfaces) for connection to mics, instruments and live consoles. Next, you can process everything with over 100 of ZOOM’s best on-board effects for guitar, bass, vocals and mixdown. Also under your control is the full tilt studio drum/bass sequencer/sampler with velocity pads featuring 60 seconds of sample time so song parts, sounds or anything that you record can be loaded onto the velocity pads for easy access and playback.

Everything gets loaded onto a huge 80GB hard drive for up to 240 hours of recording time. At this point you can either mixdown your recording and burn a CD with the high-speed on-board CD burner (multi-track or stereo album modes) or move the audio WAV files to your computer through the USB 2 interface for further editing using the HD faders and knobs as your control surface.

Zoom HD16CD Features
  • 8-track of simultaneous recording with 160 V-takes & 16-track of playback
  • 8 balanced XLR-1/4 inch phone combo inputs with phantom power
  • 16-bit/44.1 kHz linear PCM recording in WAV format
  • Over 100 effects for guitar/bass/vocal recording, mixing, and mastering
  • Drum/Bass machine with touch-sensitive pads and 500 drum sounds
  • Built-in CD-R/RW drive and 80 GB HD
  • Control Surface function for DAW software
  • Bundled with Steinberg Cubase LE
  • Sampler function lets you add original drum sounds to Drum Kit
  • Expanded sampling memory to 60 seconds
  • Built-in USB 2.0 interface
  • Meter-bridge features easily viewable 5-segment LED level meters
The recorder features eight balanced XLR-1/4 inch combo inputs with phantom power. Two high impedance inputs allow direct connection of guitars and basses, so users can plug into Zoom’s famous guitar and bass amp modeling capabilities. The HD16CD also comes with multi-effects such as reverb, delay and compression for use with instruments and vocals.

The HD16CD also boasts the largest hard disk in its class and is also the only unit with touch-sensitive pads. Record songwriting sessions or live concert sets directly to the unit, move the audio files to a computer’s digital audio workstation and use the recorder as a control surface for easy editing and mixing.

Subject:Best home multi-track at any price
Quality: very well made, i have no doubt this will easily stand up to years of constant use.
Features: ive heard people say the pre amps were not that good. HA. these pre amps are really good and everything is fully editable. anything you dont like about a sound can be changed. really i would not add anything.
Ease of Use: much easier than the roland or boss recorders i mentioned earlier.if you have never multi-tracked before itmay seem overwhelming at first.
Sound: the sound of this unit is really second to none. and if you actually take the time with your recordings it really does rival any major label production. no joke
Reliability: only had it 2 weeks, but, its easy to see how reliable it will be
Overall: seriously, ive worked with rolands and high end boss units and they are really good aswell. but for the price they dont even come close. i really cant say enough about this unit. oh and i love the meter bridge, gives it that old school look, like an actual studio.

Subject:Zoom HD16CD Is A Breeze To Use
Quality: Seems heavy duty, metal instead of plastic.
Features: Lots of bang for the buck! Good amount of inputs, good size hard drive, built in effects and CD burner!
Ease of Use: I bought this unit and I found it to be easy to use for both personal (solo) recordings as well as recording my band.
Sound: After spending some time tweaking around with laying down tracks I found some good settings and I like the sound quailty. It's not a 'skys the limit' recorder like you's find in a pro studio but for the price it's good little unit.
Reliability: So far so good but it stays put in my home studio so it doesn't get moved around alot.
Overall: I've enjoyed owning and using this product.

Subject:Recording for Dummies
Quality: VERY WELL MADE
Features: the 8 track simultaneous recording is the feature that swayed me. We have a bluegrass gospel group and we require 8 inputs. this allows us to record everything at once and the sound is GREAT.
Ease of Use: This is amazingly easy to use. I have never recorded anything in my life but after a little time of reading the manual i was up and running.
Sound: Sound is as good as what goes in....then with a little tweaking and a few effects......WOW
Reliability: only had it a few weeks but it looks to be of top notch quality
Overall: Best purchase i have made in a long time. I love it...

Subject:Best Dang Recorder I've ever had!
Quality: There's been a lot of thought go into this product, I think it's going to be around a long time. I can't see ever needing another recording device of any kind.
Features: My favorite features are the way I don't have to drag in a GTR Amp, my strat and accoustic GTRs sound great straight into the board (so to speak). The only thing missing is a handle.
Ease of Use: I'm from WV, and I've only had the HD 16 for 2 weeks, and I'm rollin' out Beatles and Trower tunes like nobodys bussiness. This thing is great! Wish I'd had this groing up. Works phenomanally with my Dell and Cool Edit. Whoever put the manual together did an excelent job, they walked me right through it. It's also going to take me out live, playing all the bass, drums, rhythm GTRs and harmonies myself.
Sound: The tone is very truthful. I like that. What I put in, is what I get back, and that's as it should be.
Reliability: I've only had it 2 weeks but I can tell you that it is built very well. I'm 57, and have been playing music professionally for 46 years , I've seen a lot of equipment come and go, this is a keeper!
Overall: My opinion of this is so high that my good friend Mark is buying ong also. The way I've spoke of it and how the 7 songs in just this past 2 weeks has sounded to him when I spun a couple off and took 'em over to his house to play 'em on his big P.A. WOW!
