ZOOM R12 Preview Thoughts: Comparisons to the R8 and R20 from an experienced Zoom multitrack user
Zoom announced that their new 8-track multitrack recorder, the R12, is scheduled to be released in late October 2022. The R12 is slated to be the successor to the old R8 unit. Building off the recent R20 model, the R12 has a lot of things going for it - namely the color touchscreen that allows users to perform basic editing procedures without ever needing a computer or DAW. I haven't seen or used an R12 unit yet, but I've used the R8 for over a decade and I've had the R20 since it was released nearly 10 months ago. Those experiences enabled me to summarize my thoughts on this new multitracker and compare it to both the R8 and the R20. UPDATE: Since this video was published I was able to purchase an R12. Here is my unboxing/first impressions video: • ZOOM R12 First Impressions: Unbox, Touchsc...
