We are working with our friends at From Our Research Team:8-track Simultaneous Recording!Zoom's new HD16CD is a great live production recording tool. Now musicians can 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. The recorder features eight balanced XLR-1/4" combo inputs with phantom power. Two high-impedance inputs allow direct connection of guitars and basses, so users can plug into Zoom's 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 enables 16-track playback and 8-track simultaneous recording. An 8-track version, the HD8CD, is also available.Zoom HD16CD Features:

ReviewsWhat a Machine!

Amazing piece of gear...forget Boss and Tascam. Nothing else at this price point with all of the features. I searched for some time before deciding on the ZOOM.

It can stand alone or serve as control surface for the computer types. It's metal, not plastic like others in this category. The sound is what you've got to hear to believe. Without mastering, I have 4 projects that sound good already. If you want great demos, this your machine. I'm just beginning to explore all this baby will do. I recognize it doesn't have 24bit and some I/O expansion would be great. However, for the dollars spent, this is the most bang for the buck. close [-]

by Don Henry, Jr from Newberry, SC
This is a comment to correct an inacurate statement of a previous reviewer who said you cannot record directly to channels 9-16. That you had to bounce some of the first eight tracks. Not true...you... read more [+] absolutely can record directly to channels 9-16...I do it all the time. The manual tells you how. The approach it to think of it as assigning one of the 8 inputs to a channel 9-16, keeping in mind that odd numbered inputs go to odd numbered channels. May 9, 2009 Music Background: Recording Engineer, Live Sound Engineer, and Pro Musician. So, let's say you have used up the first 8 channels. Here is how to put two more tracks on 9 & 10 without bouncing using inputs 1 & 2 for this example: 1. Activate the 8 Track Record button 2. While pressing AND HOLDING input 1 button, press input 2. (Both input 1 and 2 should now be red.) 3. Press the channels 9/10 button until it cyles to red. The result is that Input 1 will record on channel 9 and Input 2 will record on channel 10. Read the manual for more info on mixing the levels of these two new tracks. close [-] 16 Tracks-80GB Hard Drive-$700 --- Enough Said?

There is just too much bleed through between the instruments and vocals.December 29, 2008 Music Background: extreme hobbyist Regardless, I am happy with the Zoom HD16. It has tons of features including full EQ capability for each track as a track parameter, or via the insert alogrithms. The PREs are okay, but for maximum pop use the track parameters and/or insert effects. The 24bit front-end seems to provide plenty of headroom. Though the Zoom has good mastering effects, I hooked it up to our computer and did the mastering there. The rhythm machine is quite acceptable. I have not used the Zoom guitar effects. I have not used the HD16 as a control surface for my computer-based recording applications, though I plan to do so. The USB to computer connection works flawlessly requiring no setup on my end. Just plug and play. In fact, I connect it to the USB hub provided by my HP monitor--and it works!!!! Like any similar product, you will need the manual. I have yet to master the rhythm machine and the v-track feature. However, other tasks like track parameters, insert effects, track bouncing, and so forth are very intuitive and easy to perform. One caveat, you cannot record directly to tracks 9 through 16. You record to tracks 1 - 8, and then bounce them to tracks 9-16. Not a big deal, but it is a feature some may expect. I have a pretty extensive computer recording setup but since the HD16 is so much more convenient, I use it for most recording tasks. close [-] Not a review - Just a Clarification

I got my Zoom HD16CD for Christmas 2007.July 3, 2008 Music Background: Song writer Musician - guitar - synthisizer - drummer! After taking some time to go threw the directions manual. I am amazed at how professional my music sounds recorded on this digital studio. ... read more [+] I decided to complete my first cd mostly with the use of Zooms built in effects. Awesome professional sounding reverb! I have used other recording products and must say the Zoom HD16CD digital recorder is by far better than other products I have used in the past. Once you take your time to read the owners manual. And dont try to learn everything in the first recording. Take your time enjoy recording and one by one you can read and learn as you record new songs and tracks. I have followed the directions with some great results in finished recordings. No hiss in my recordings. I would recommend others buy this product! Spiritwind! close [-]
