Always Prepared
The Best Recording AssistantThe Zoom H8 Handy Recorder was built to make your life easy. It includes recording modes to make your recording experience stress free such as; pre-record, backup-record and auto-record. Perfect features to have when field recording.
When using the pre-record option the H8 buffers the last 2 seconds of recorded audio and adds it to each take, meaning that if you start recording slightly late it will more likely have picked up the sound.
The backup-record option records an entirely different stereo mix at a lower volume to give you a separate copy of your recording if an unexpected issue happens. Auto-record will begin the recording when the volume reaches a certain level, incase you miss some of the action, the H8 will pick it up for you.
Works As A USB Interface
MULTITRACK RECORDINGAs well as being a fantastic recording tool, the H8 also works as a USB audio interface which is perfect for being used to capture live streaming, conferencing or any other interface uses.
If used this way the H8 changes all the inputs into a stereo signal. When you’re recording a band or a live performance the multitrack is perfect for this as it can send up to 12 channels directly to your DAW where you can edit the recordings easily.
