ZOOM R12 First Impressions: Unbox, Touchscreen, Record, Editing, Pros, Cons, and Opinions

Designed as an updated refresh for the R8, the Zoom R12 is an 8-track recorder with 2 inputs, onboard effects, drum loops, synth sounds, and a color touchscreen that is useful for editing audio tracks. In this video I unbox a new R12, test out it's recording capabilities and demonstrate how to perform basic editing tasks on the touchscreen. I'll also offer my initial opinions about the device.
