The Zoom R20 Multi-Track Recorder is a versatile tool brimming with features, making it effortless to capture everything from heartfelt singer-songwriter ballads to full-fledged band opuses. Boasting 8 inputs and the capacity to record on 16 tracks, it offers the freedom to document your entire musical ensemble, all within a user-friendly, touchscreen interface that incorporates the finest functionalities of your beloved digital audio workstations.

Crafting your sound is a breeze with the straightforward track settings, allowing you to swiftly adjust panning, EQ, and apply dynamic processing to your recordings.

Furthermore, the Zoom R20 doubles as an audio interface, facilitating seamless integration with your preferred digital audio workstation. This means you can harness the R20's inputs to enhance the versatility and coherence of your recording process.

Multi-track recording made simple

For musicians, inspiration can strike at any moment, and reaching for a computer and digital audio workstation (DAW) can sometimes interrupt the creative flow. Zoom's R20 changes the game, offering unrivaled versatility as a multi-track recorder. Boasting 8 inputs, including 2 versatile 1/4-inch combo jacks and 4 with phantom power, you can capture up to 16 tracks, making it perfect for recording entire bands or adding overdubs to solo sessions. The R20 doubles as an audio interface, extending your recording capabilities within your DAW. Additionally, you can import backing tracks and samples via USB or an SD card, converting brilliant snippets into full-fledged productions – all in one unit.

Intuitive touchscreen editing

Visual feedback during recording is invaluable, allowing you to monitor levels and processing as you create. Better yet, the ability to make real-time adjustments without altering your final track is essential for capturing the perfect take. The Zoom R20 offers a straightforward workflow with an intelligent LCD touchscreen, unlocking a wealth of editing options. You can seamlessly copy and paste audio, navigate your track's timeline, loop sections, and much more with a simple touch. Comprehensive mixing and editing can all be achieved on the R20, so you can focus on making music.

Professional-grade track enhancement

Unlike many multi-track recorders, the Zoom R20 takes you beyond recording, offering a suite of features to perfect your tracks. Equipped with a multi-effects processor, complete with bass and guitar amp modeling capabilities, you can apply studio-quality effects like EQ, compression, limiting, noise gating, and reverb without needing external devices. Effects sends on the R20 allow you to process audio with 40 preset effect chains that can combine up to 3 effects simultaneously, and you can even create your custom presets for quick recall of your preferred processing.

Wireless control from your phone

Situations may arise where you need to play and record simultaneously, but space constraints may keep your recorder at a distance. The optional Zoom BTA-1 adapter enables you to remotely control the mixer using your iOS device, eliminating the need to interact with the physical unit. A groundbreaking feature of the R20 is the voice-controlled Zoom R20 app, making it accessible for individuals with visual impairments. Music is a universal joy, and the Zoom R20 ensures it remains inclusive, providing a revolutionary recording experience for all.
