This product is super easy to use. The manual is long and kinda complicated but with a quick review...the inspiration starts and recording begins thanks to the over view. I started uploading my music to a major video posting web site and one song that I wrote and recorded on this is getting alot of attention. I have at this moment 75,000 people that have checked out my song/video. I now have over 100,000 views on all my vids there. This inspires me to continue writing. I would rather own this than my tv set. I wish I could upload a song to A.M.S so the people out there could hear the quality of this unit. A.M.S. Rocks On Recording And More!!!
Sound
How is its Tone?
The tone is BIG sound. I just recorded a virtual concert rock song and with the effects I was able to make it sound like I am playing my guitars,vocals and all that, in front of thousands of people. The guitar, vocal and mastering effects are so great!!!

This thing ROCKS!! Of course only having it 2 weeks I haven't even begun to use it as much as I will; but because I had the other one, the difference and the upgraded quality, ease of use, tons of tools, burn cd's, etc, etc, etc, just makes this so awesome, I e-mailed my brother to tell him to get it. There's more than one best feature, but the way to change the bass chords is so easy and simple. The effects at first I thought, that's all, until I finished the manual and saw all the options at the end of the manual, which again explains everything well. The sound, the feel, the tools, the rhythm section, and the many controls, select, function key, auto punch in/out key, bounce; aw man, a lot of things I had to struggle with on the old unit, is just push the key now and go!

This is much easier to use than the Zoom MRS-1044 multitrak recording studio I had until the sound went out after years of use. I loved that thing, but it wasn't so easy to get what they said I could get out of it, but it was great to practice to. The HD8 that I just got about 2 weeks ago, the manual has just got everything written out so well, they almost baby you; which is good for me, cuz I'm not the most proficent recording engineer!
Sound
How is its Tone?
My god, the tone is so clear yet so easy to change and add to. There's so many ways to improve and increase your sound. The pre-amp section surprised me, as at first I thought it was just a few effects, but man is it a lot.
Reliability

It'll last a long time in my opinion. Very solid, and you'll be surprised at first at how heavy it is when you pick it up!

Your general opinion of this product.
Again, I'm not very profcient with some musical technology units, but this is well thought out, is easy to use, and the manual lays it all out for you! But the bells and whistles and all the tools and effects and rhythm section with lots of bass and drum patterns and kits, make this a total machine!

The Zoom HD8CD is made with a metal housing and all it's components are well made. The on-board effects are awesome, especially the ones for mastering your mix. Also the bundled Cubase LE(DAW) Digital Audio Workstation software is a plus.

After reviewing the manual(recommended), it didn't take long to record top quality sounding music with this product. The manual is straight forward and easy to follow. The placement of fade-rs, control knobs, pads, and LED level meters make it easy to operate this multi-track recorder.
