These days I'm using Reaper with a Zoom R16 as an AI and a control surface. My main passion is song writing. I can play some instruments and I have some friends who can as well.....so the songs come to life that way. I'm sure I'll learn here........and maybe I can contribute as well. Looking forward to it!!

G'day Bluesman.
I have a R16 and use Reaper. I don't use the R16 as an Ai but have done.
I, too, am retired.
There you go commonality out of the gate.
BEWARE a mate & I have R16s and the battery/transformer power section failed in each of ours. We now have no option but to use the USB as power.
Interestingly both of us imported from the US rather than using a store etc.
Cheers

Hi Ray......I only use the USB connection for power so haven't had the power section fail so far. Thanks for the heads up. When you say....power section....you're referring to the to the power supply wall wart?

Seems to be th microprocessor that deals with AC & battery power.
On mine & my friend's units neither AC nor battery power get juice through to start up.
I've done some research and it's a common problem.
With me it worked one day & not the next...no glitching into it.
USB works but, according to the little bit of research I did, often doesn't.
The R16 terrific unit and I even bought a DVD training course to improve my use...as I have a good regular AI I used the R16 at school and mobile.
Powerful thing when it has power.
Cheers
