The Zoom R16 & R24 units are an awsome concept. What get's me is they use USB to go from unit to computer. I would take these more seriously if it had firewire or some other protcol.

Hello Steve,
Ya I tend to agree , I did have no problems running cubase Le4 with the R16 with the usb to win XP but as soon as I upgraded to cubase 6 and win 7 the setup seems impossible to work together, I am considering going to a Prosous 1818 which also is usb but I have been assured that it will work. What do you think.
Thanks for your thoughts on this !

I was just saying that a USB interface wouldn't be my preference. I have no experience with Window 7 or 64 bit. I'm using Win XP Pro 32 bit myself, with my trusty Ol' Aardvark Q10's & Aark 24 cards.

Being an entirely new computer, I'd wonder about hardware conflicts, so I'd try to find out from Zoom what they might be. Besides your basic Cubase set up, which there may be differences between versions, if you have everything set up properly... ... your VST inputs/outputs, buffer & latency settings, midi input/outputs, etc, etc...I would tend to suspect Windows 7 64 bit as being the culprit.

But then, if you're attempting to run your old 32 bit VSTi's within a 64 bit envirenment, and not doing the proper method to make that possible - a wrapper of some kind I believe - then that may be a problem. Some VSTi's just don't want to play within this wrapper...so I hear. If this is a possibility, then I'd test it with the included Cubase 6 VSTi's only for now.

I'd also be scouring the Zoom R16/R24 forums where there are people who are using these units, and are bound to be Win 7 64 bit users...though not neccessarily flooded with Cubase users. I did see a user here some weeks back who is also using.a Zoom.R16/R24, maybe do a search here.

What do you mean "if you go in too deep"? I have a Zoom R24 that I use with Windows 7 and Windows 8; I currently have it ordinarily set up as my soundcard on my Windows 7 machine. It doesn't cause my machine to crash. My experience with the Zoom R24 and H4n is that if I try to reduce the driver latency too far, the driver stops working - but it doesn't crash Cubase. This has been my experience with Cubase 6.5 32 bit and 64 bit, and now Cubase 7 64 bit.

Are there reproduceable steps that cause your machine to crash?

Steve.

Hey Guys ,
Steve thanks for your thoughts , the problem was just getting the basic R16 to run with the 64 bit version of windows , it would crash the system with cubase 6 sometimes before I even opened the program , I had my buddy over who has his PHD in computer engineering and the culprit seemed to be the R16 driver , so he was able to check some aspects I think most even capable people can only dream of, I will include in this post also to plectrumboy that
perhaps the R24 system is more stable with its driver as a unit , there was not one particular step or sequence that in my case would crash the system in particular, but hey I must say I really appreciate your guys thoughts and posts back to me , I am a little disapointed that NO One was Running the R16 with win 7 and cubase 6 in this Forum OR on the R16 forum that you pointed out . I basically had to trade in the R16 and went with a Presonus 1818 SLV and after picking it up and hooking it to my system , IT WORKS Super!!! and I have the latency at 2.3 ms so other than having to say goodby to the R16 I am super happy with the Presonus and ready to get mak'n some music !!!
Thanks you guys for your inputs.....
Cheers BUG

As cool as the Zoom R16/R24 concept is - and I almost want one myself - the Presonus is probably a better unit. And, it works!

I would like to see more products like this Zoom. But I guess if you really have a need for both a self contained hardware multitrack recorder as well as a studuo interface, you can buy separate solutions for each, rather than a R16/R24. Still ...

Hello, I ended up having to return the R16 for a loss and aquired a Presonus 1818vsl which at this point works with no problems at all. The presonus works almost the same as a R16/24 hope this helps .
