It sure is a nice little recorder. Gotta hand it to them. Zoom makes some nice stuff. I have two of their drum machines and one of their acoustic effects pedals.

Looks easier to operate then the H4 also.

You would love their HD8 and 16 series "Home Studios" Both a computer DAW interface and control surface and stand alone recorders that can create CDs on board. Less than $500 for the 8 track. Amazing when compared to Boss, Tascam and some other HS recorders.

Great for Non computer savvy musicians who may eventually incorporate a PC into the mix.

I've used those Zoom multi-tracks! They're VERY nice and I really like the layout on them.

I'm going to sell my Fostex MR8 and pick up one of these Zoom's. My Fostex has had very little use too. Hopefully I can get a decent amount of $ for it. My Fostex doesn't even compare to Zooms 8 trk model. Did you see the 16 trk model just had a $100 price drop? It's now selling for $599!!!!!

Squeak save your money....

Awesome recording program....& the price is right

Yes.., that's a nice program Donny. However.., I'm looking for a hardware unit. I like the software, but being a guitar player..., I guess I still got that "hardware crave" flowing through my veins

Squeak take a good look at the mixcraft 4 program.....it easily handles guitar ro any ionstuyrment plugged into an interface...not to mention all the great sounds 7 loops it has......heres some demo videos...

I know it's more the capable of handling guitar recording Donny..., but I need a hardware unit. I want something portable and not as fragile as a laptop. I have no desire to drag a laptop around with me. This is where good hardware units come in. This model has effects, drums, internal burner, physical (and not virtual) sliders.., ect.
