Zoom R16 or R24

[-Asdfgh-]

can you have 8 channel mono inputs on export once the recording has been saved to the SD card, or only when recording live?

It saves it as 8 wav files, if that is what you are asking.

Just picked up one of these on musiciansfriend (should be here tomorrow)
Wanted something to do some recording that didn't really involve a computer and this seemed like a solution

I used an R16 for about 2 years as both a standalone unit and as an audio interface. Pretty solid unit overall.

However, I updated my audio interface about a year and a half ago and it's so different. The preamps on the Zoom R16 and R24 just aren't that good. You get a lot of them, but they're lower end preamps. Getting something with fewer inputs but higher quality inputs is a better investment for me.

Not trying to rain on the Zoom R16/24 parade, I used to love the unit but once I could hear the quality difference in preamps I couldn't stick with it. I do still use it on occasion when I absolutely need 8 inputs though.
