oom have clearly realised that, although there is still a market for multitrack recorders, everyone has a computer of some sort somewhere. As such, all their units are built with PC / Mac integration in mind. This means that the R24 not only works as a full featured multitracker, but also as an 8 input audio interface and control surface for recording software such as Cubase, Logic or
Sonar. Not only this, but the in-built effects can also be used within your sequencer. This is a great touch and means that their units can be used either stand alone or in combination with your home or studio set-up. Spec-wise, the R24 is up with the best of them, with the ability to record 8 tracks simultaneously (via combined XLR / jack sockets, 6 of which have phantom power) and play back 24 tracks, enough for most bands. It also has a drum machine and a massive range of effects, including guitar amp Buy online at simulation.
