- I wanted to see if the new Zoom R20 multitrack recorder was easy to use so I SET THE MANUAL ON FIRE and gave it the ol' college try. For a digital recorder, this thing is pretty straightforward to use, but let me know what you think.

I know you made this over a year ago .
But thank you for showing Thecdevice in Action. I'm looking at this as a replacement for another recorder that was discontinued . You seem to be the only Person on CZcams who has shown how it Works 💪🏻.
Hey really appreciate you taking the time to do this. Good candid response as to the feel of the device!
This is interesting and actually right on time. I’m looking at the Rodecaster Pro 2 and checking options.
That Rodecaster 2 is MEAN! I thought the first one was dope but they really took it to another level. The R20 is a good concept, but the quality is pretty bad. Hopefully they make a more premium version for a couple hundred more, it would be worth paying extra for better hardware.
@@labandlegacy I agree. I’m trying to see if I find something that talks me out of the Rodecaster but I’m this close 🤏🏾 to punching that button.
I love mine. It's a great little unit for getting down some quick ideas. I need to spend more time with it though. I believe after getting more used to it, I could really build up a full fledged production on it. The only beef I have is the limited efx and like you noted, those jacks are really hard to come out.
i experienced everything you did. and thats why I returned it . i like this vid. i was lmfao when you tried to pull the cable out . i said to myself soon as you put the cable in I was like you messedup now lol
😂😂😂😂
This is why I LOVED my 4 track cassette Recorders....YES CASSETTE...I AM A BOOMER AND 52 YEARS OLD....BUT those old tape machines had a charm all their own....And NO manuals required. Also they have Jack spray lubricants for the jacks and some time may make those Jacks smoother for you.
Yup still have my 4 track Porta studio one. Since I replace the belts it's runs mint. Great investment.
@@recycology5468They are fun...just something different about having your music to going physically on to a tape instead of a bunch of digital 1's and 0's. Maybe that is what they mean by "Warmth."
I had either the 8 or16. Great little machines for getting hands on quickly.
Obviously not as complicated as the latest mpcs. Drag & Drop Colour Touch Screen is always handy.
Great Video @iamsight , much appreciated as always.
Did you ever do a Part 2 to this Video explaining how to Mixdown, Master & Export The Wave File on The R20? 🤔
Zoom R20 is a fascinating studio-recorder.
I have the R24 and the older MRS-1608. (I think that 's what the name is...)
Yo man I really like the videos that you put out there I'm a firm believer in what you said use what you have and if I don't need that piece of equipment I'm not going use it I'm trying to get into the Prague casting and I did go purchase the zoom 8 thank you very much for your videos I'll learn how to master my mpcx and go from there with my keyboard rolling f08
Nice video Sir looks kind of easy to use but can we get a video on the model 12 and the many ways on how to use it with the current new MPC'S. Peace ✌️
You funny man that manual burn was hilarious
I wish clever fellas, like this, had a better grasp of how dim folk, like me, can be. Enjoyed the whole video, but back on the road looking for a vid’ which will get me out of the starting gate. Cheers.
Im trying to use the r20 as audio interface
with my iphone. To record videos live with the
r20 audio. I have the apple cable with usb-c
one side and the other classic iphone down
center input (used mainly to charge, but now
been used as audio input too). I already used
with my pc and and the audio was recorded
but with some problems that i though was my
need to learn and ajust the audio input and
configuration. the cable is a apple usb c.
when i record at the iphone, there is no r20
audio, only iphone audio as always. You
already tried record with iphone?
I’m not going to lie…I haven’t even attempted to use this thing to record. It’s been turned into a midi controller. The Hardware and Software work around to use the Mackie control system wasn’t worth it ultimately. I just wanted midi faders.
Burning the manual, serious power move!
It was a fun twist on doing a first impression video. I liked the challenge 💯💯💯
I thought u was gunna show em how to get those extra 16 I/0 on the mpc from the zoom
Awesome new segment fam!!! Man.. I might be a little in this jawn bro lol🙏🏾✊🏾💚
Great thank you
Lol, I go to Macprovideo or Adse or groove3 for video manuals. I saw a DP32 for 400 . Any experience with?
Wussup bro, we live in the same city…… I was really surprised you had the R-20, My MPC Live and R20 is set up on desk the same way😆. I’ve brought the R20 a couple of months ago and used it a few times, I wanted to use it more, but got spoiled by using wireless devices. The fact that I have to plug 🔌 it, I forget to use it. I brought this, because I’m a gear junkie ☺️, I always wanted something like this, But my iPad does this already.
Yeah I got the UA Volt 476 USB C powered and the iPad is such a sick combo with it. A MUCH more powerful version of this, but I'm glad Zoom brought the touch screen to an affordable price point.
@@labandlegacy My Ipad with all my apps is my life right now…..I didn’t want to say it first…..but the iPad is a whole studio by itself.
Can you make a video on using this in interface mode with the mpc live 2 via USB?
I would like to see the punch in function if you make a mistake on the zoom R20 how precise is it?
Thanks
I wish somebody would make a video on mixing vocals on here
@@duelavemedia3565 I don’t think it’s a good platform for that. It’s more of a quick way to get multiple tracks laid down, like with a live band or a podcast. Personally I would export the WAVs to a computer to mix. There are so many DAW options now including free ones like Reaper that have much better features for mixing and effects.
I still use your tutorials !
I’ve been wanting to get a separate recorder for this particular reason. Catching takes. And nobody seem to use it. Needed this Sight. Good looks. I was eyeing that same joint for minute to. But those xlr jacks are a no no.
Luckily you can drag them if you don’t need more than 2 simultaneous trs… I was on the fence about it but it works just fine for my workflow.
@@kellykel333 your using MPC of course. Yeah? Just curious.
ReviewRated. Flawless victory.
Zoom. Take notes
Good video my dude.
Thank you sir 🙏🤜💥🤛
Okay on a serious note. What is the point in something like this? Something like recording live input such as say a drummer to take back into the mpc and load as a sample file. I personally was using the Mackie pro FX 10 with the mpc one about 8 months ago. Trying to get back ahold of gear my old roommate sold my shit when I was out of town.
It’s a very affordable way to record up to 8 tracks at a time. I can’t think of a more affordable way honestly. If someone absolutely refuses to use a computer it’s technically a self-contained studio, but personally I would rather use an iPad as a mobile DAW.
Okay that makes since. Appreciate you guys.
Sounds great though
Great vid!
Thanks for tuning in!
Can I punch in and out in the zoom r20 like a pc daw??
what turns me off about this is each track is only mono. Would be dope to arrange 8 tracks with 8 faders upfront without changing banks. Zoom is onto something though, i hope they improve these models
You can turn any track stereo and it will assign to 1 fader.
@@labandlegacy I seen how you can link 2 faders, but 4 stereo tracks still takes up 1 bank (8 faders) if im correct. If they perfect these models, we wont need a daw as much to "track things out"
Can you sync a Korg volca Sample 2 with the r20 or r12? I feel like that would be an ideal daw-less Setup for me because then i can use the volca as a drum machine plugged into the r20/12 and hopefully have them synced together. Or does it work just fine having the BPMs matched on both units like you have in the video, and then just trying to hit "play" on the Volca when the R20 starts recording, also like you did in the video?
GREAT IDEA
Im getting one of these for my bass player partner, who hates computers, but wants to collab
From his phone:
1. He will transfer the song I send him onto Tracks 1 and 2
2. He will play bass on Track 3
3. He will transfer Track 3 to his phone
4. Send it to me
I think theres a way to transfer To and From his phone thru the USB
That would be dope! At the very least he could use a USB-C card reader
@@labandlegacy
Can u plug those into a phone?
That's the key part.
Getting my stereo stuff from his phone into the r20 can be as simple as playing it in in real time. That's a cable
But getting Track 3 (Bass) from the R20 BACK to the phone is the unknown varible
I'll prob have to deep dive reddit
Yep that's where the manual belongs. Good point on the buttons, they feel like shit, and the unit as a whole feels cheap. I just got mine for $299, if I'd paid $449 it would be going straight back.
Just got mine. I agree, it feel cheap, like a plastic toy. I jumped without the manual, but I'll look at You Tube tutorials instead.
@@kevinjolly2299 It is definitely not intuitive, and the error messages that pop up provide absolutely no clue on what you need to do fix whatever it is you are attempting. The more time I spend with this, the happier I am getting with it. Then I remember $300 and for that kind of money, this is pretty good.
Same hard jacks on my Zoom R8,....=)
Awww man. How are they holding up?
@@labandlegacy they seem to work =) Cheers
its a cable breaker
I burnt the zoom r20 itself
🤣🤣🤣 In hindsight that may have been the more appropriate video 🚮
did this man unplug and plug in that mic with a phantom power on??!! 😬😬😬 scary
RTFM 🤣😂😅
Oh no, you just lost resale value!
You should have burnt the R20 unit instead...It s a piece of crap
😂😂😂
@@labandlegacy hehehe :)
I love the fake Ebony accent
“Ebony” is a porn term bro, that’s gross even coming from a redneck. My dad was black and I grew up in New Jersey, but you consciously choose to walk around with a front tooth missing what’s your excuse?
Comparing R20 buttons, jacks etc to your Akai MPC? You're one bias dude. All that has nothing to do with the R20's simplicity and functionality. Oh oh only one headphone jack? Seriously? Try comparing it to another multi track not a MPC.
The jacks and buttons have nothing to do with it's functionality? 🤣 Did you read that before you hit send?
I compared the feel of the components to the other piece of gear that was right in front of me. If I compared it to the Mackie DLZ Creator that I have on the desk now it would have seemed even more cheap. I've owned cheap digital recorders since the early 2000s. They serve a purpose, but they're not worth defending on CZcams my guy. They all fall apart and get tossed in the trash or donated to Goodwill.
