You don't need 32 bit recording. 24 bit is all you need. If you try to process 32 bit audio waves it takes too much computing resources. Also it slows down your DAW and the quality of audio is indistinguishable from 24 bit audio. Also higher sampling rates above 48khz is not necessary, 96khz sampling only causes higher storage issues and slower processing with little improvement of quality. Also what you play your music on will determine the final sample rate and bit rate. Usually 24 bit & 44khz sampling rate is all you need for high quality playback of audio files.
32-Bit Float recording/streaming interface options (like the Sound Devices Mix Pre II series) would have been nice. Here's why - th-cam.com/video/B_Sq0k-3TCE/w-d-xo.html
While it's true we don't need it NOW, it will eventually become the standard just like people made the transition from 16 to 24 back in the day. I'm pretty sure many folks were discussing about this same topic thinking 16 bit was "all you needed". Technology evolves rapidly and I wouldn't be surprised if we manage to get 64 bit and even further.
I really hope this device is any good. I've used other competitor mics with amazing built-in limiters that automatically balance the audio for live events. Sometimes DJ's swing the audio by 20 db during wedding receptions. Sometimes the MC will yell into the mic during an entrance. Zoom H6 is okay. I have to manually record at lower levels and adjust in post. Since zoom mic has a low noise floor, it works out in the end. But there are competitor systems that can manage the clipping issue better than Zoom on autopilot. I hope this version is better. Ofcourse, I will be buying the product because it looks cool and it has an app type interface. The main issue is always the quality of the built in limiter.
do you use it for podcasting if so maybe you can help me out since so far no one has replayed to my freaking problem. can you see the channels selected while in podcast mode instead the L/R, i also cant get one of my shure mic to work while in that mode but i works fine on my h6.
Hello! If I use zoom H8 with one dynamic XLR that do not need phantom and one that require phantom power. Is it possible to turn on phantom power only on one input? 🤔
Hmm looks good well done zoom. I won't be getting this. I need a solution where I can on the go record flat recordings but output via 3.5mm or USB the mixed track with effects like eq and reverb for broadcast. But be able to edit raw later as well. This is for live music broadcasting.

Hello, I'm having trouble copying files from the SD card of my Zoom H8. All the files have the same name, such as Mic12, but are organized into different folders, like F240714_008.zprj. Is this how it's supposed to be, or is there a setting to have each WAV file named differently according to the folder, similar to the Zoom H6?
Hello, I'm writing from Turkey. I bought a Zoom H8, but do I need to use only the SD card to transfer the audio from it to a computer? Can't I directly transfer the audio from the device to a computer with a cable?"
Hi there! I've got a question relating to device's usage.Is it possible to connect an iphone&ipad ,play a drumlees song and mix my drums with the song using the zoomh8 and record it on the device(sd card etc.) Or it only records drums and I need to connect it to another device(ipad, mac and software to mix-record ) thaks in advance for your reply.
Keep it! It’s an amazing device. This thing looks like an octopus. Honestly was hoping that they would update the H6(x) or something with a touchscreen. This thing looks like a monstrosity while the H6 is sleek and super awesome.
Hello. Have a good time I had a question about the Zoom H8 In the music mode, when we record the sound on the memory card, the effect is recorded, but the equalization is not applied Is this part of the factory settings? Please advise. Thanks a lot
How do I wireless get the Zoom H8 Handy Recorder to sync in and out of Pause with my Canon XA-30 or any video camera for that matter. I shoot as many as 20 to 30 indivydal clips in one 5 to 8 minute flight of R/C model planes. Synchronizing the video to the Mulitpul tracks of my H4n Pro is bad enough. When is ZOOM going to make a 'WIRELEESS REMOTE' often my H4n Pro is 50'+ away from where I operate the camera witch can be over 50' from me remotly operated attached to my Ronin M rig witch I can opderate remotly with standard rhe standard Ronin remmote control.
It's Dope!!!! could someone pls list the 12tracks that gets recorderd in the multitrack recording?? 6xlr Inputs(Inbuilt)+4 xlr inputs (2.0 capsule)....what about the remaining 2tracks???
Hi guys , I've just got a zoom h1n handy recorder for my birthday, I see there is a version 2.0 with an orange screen. Is there a difference between the two? I want to use for motorbike vlogs
In my opinion, the H8 is ugly and bulky. 32 bit float is definitely the way forward for unpredictable audio level inputs. I hope Zoom releases a new version of the H6 with 32 bit float, or an equivalent, as some of us have invested heavily in the versatile proprietary microphone capsule system ( XYH-6 X/Y Mic | MSH-6 Mid-Side Mic | SGH-6 Shotgun Mic | SSH-6 Mid-Side Stereo Shotgun Mic | EXH-6 Dual XLR/TRS Input Expansion ). It would be great if it could utilize the newer v2 capsules as well.

A monster with the 2.0 version of capsule system... Up to 12 input channels is just blowing my mind! But the 32-bit recording is missing...
And USB-C instead of Micro-USB would be great...
You know what's also missing? The price tag, just get the F6 that has 32 bits for twice the price.
Well that officially makes my H4n look like a paper weight....Thanks Zoom!! Nice product.
This is SICK! And the sound pads for live podcast mixing is a stroke of genius! I may finally upgrade from my trusty H4n...
Whenever i think the Micro-USB is finally dead ,, it somehow manages to survive again 🤣🤣
_Wow, amazing gadget there for music producers and sound designers!! 👍🎵😍❤_
I love my Zoom H8. I use it for professional voiceovers.
Wow.. and I thought there was no improving on the H6 🙌
Just one question: What is the material of the unit made of? All zoom recorders h4 h5 h6 all have melting rubber coating which makes it sticky.
Good question! My old H4n got that way after about a year or two and it's annoying.
Chris Bryant so did mine

Which microphones are being used for the podcast demo?
Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to witness history.
Does it still have the tuner, metronome and the other bells and whistles?

Could you swap out that top mic for an XLR or get some type of adapter to use an XLR mic with it?
Yes, you can swap out the XY mic capsule with either the EXH-6 or EXH-8 capsules to add more XLR inputs to the H8.
