General

Zoom's engineers are musicians too, which definitely benefited development of the new R4 MultiTrak. This handheld recorder has a 32-bit floating point, meaning you'll never have to worry about clipping again. This floating-point format basically leaves ample headroom for excessively loud input levels that would normally cause clipping, but also works the other way around and makes sure that there's no noise when the input level is too low.

Record. Bounce. Mix.

The Zoom R4 MultiTrak allows you to record up to four tracks at the same time, which can then be mixed using built-in tools and bounced to a dedicated bounce track - just like mixing engineers did back in the day to free up tracks for additional recordings. There's even a space-saving Quick-Bounce feature that can be engaged at will and, if you're not happy with the results, simple hit 'Undo' and your bounce track is deleted again.

Built-In Drum Patterns and the Option to Add Effects Per Track

In addition to two XLR/jack combo inputs loaded with Zoom's own renowned preamps, the R4 comes with a selection of pro-grade track effects, including 3-band EQ controls, a panning tool , an echo effect and reverb. On top of that, you're set up input effects, which enable you to do things like adding an amplifier simulation to the DI signal of the guitar you're recording, or adding a delay directly to the instrument input. This compact yet brilliantly versatile multi-track recorder naturally features a built-in microphone, plus a range of drum patterns to help you write songs.

Wat een geweldig apparaat. Ruis-vrije opnames en een verbazingwekkende geluidskwaliteit. Mooie effecten voor gitaar en stem.
Deze Zoom R4 maakt het mogelijk om waar dan ook prachtige opnames te maken zonder vastgeplakt te zitten aan je PC of laptop.
Erg blij mee 😁.

Heerlijke recorder. Ik kom nog uit de tijd van de meersporen cassettetecorders. Deze neemt minder plaats in, neemt op in 32 bit float en bewaart alle sporen én je bounce tracks als aparte files. Handig om verder te editen en mixen in je daw.

Ik ben helemaal in mijn sas met deze recorder. Is een goede aanvulling op het arsenaal met recorders die ik reeds bezit. Het voelt als vroeger op mijn zolderkamer waar ik met mijn Tascam porta 07 mijn eerste opnames maakte.
De Zoom R4 werkt met de zelfde eenvoud als je tenminste toepast zoals het in de negentiger jaren ging.
Voldoet helemaal aan mijn verwachtingen en zelfs nog meer door het eenvoudige bouncen.
