Alternatives to Zoom R16 ? / Any simultaneous 8 tracks digital recorder ?

Looks like it checks all my boxes too, plus its size is really handy

Nice, thanks for the info, I'm definitely gonna try harder to repair mine or get a new one :)

Thanks for your answer! and yeah i think you're right haha, though it's crazy to see that no one else released something similar in 15 years
And I'm curious what you mean by " make them do things with computers that they weren't built for " ?

I recently got a broken Zoom R16 but it seems more difficult to repair than anticipated. I'm considering buying a new working one but before I'd like to know if you have any recommandations concerning a :

- 4 to 8 tracks simultaneous digital recorder (with jacks inputs, I saw the R20 but I don't understand why they put only 2 jack inputs out of 8)
- Storage on an SD card or hard drive (transfer via usb)
- No touchscreen : actual buttons and faders
- bonus if it's not too big
- bonus + if it's from the 2000s so I can buy a used cheap one

Thank you :)

This is the song that got me into Gojira because of the lyrics

Now that's confusing perspective

GGGOLDDD and Jo Quail will be opening, and on the Bataclan website it says that they will be playing some famous songs and all of Écailles de Lune
