Great product!

The ZOOM R20 is a great option for myself as a home musician to have a standalone recorder and DAW-less option to record. I turn it on and am ready to record without having to bother with software and boot up time on a laptop.  It's also very portable which is a great feature and allows me to record virtually anywhere I want to record.   You can record up to 16 tracks, and 8 tracks simultaneously with the first and second tracks have a combo 1/4 inch jack/XLR jack.  The other six are exclusively XLR inputs.  I'm able to also plug an electric guitar (or bass) directly into the first input which has a dedicated Hi-Z input.  It's so nice to uses physical faders, buttons, and knobs instead of using a mouse.  The physical controls feel solid and glide easily and don't feel cheap.   The touchscreen is simple and has that same intuitive interface as a DAW.  Recording is very simple and slo is playback.  You can use the physical buttons to edit, copy, split, and delete and the screen is also touchscreen capable alowing you to pinch to zoom and utilize markers for easy placement.   After recording, the other great option is that I can then easily interface any project or files with the USB-C connection to my phone or laptop.  This is especially useful for importing a project to a DAW (currently using Garage Band).  Even without the USBC-C connection, I can also just remove the SD card if I'm not using the direct connection.   There are pre-loaded rhythm samples that can be used, or you can create your own tracks.  For my purposes, this is a great option for creating a starting point rhythm track.   If you're looking to record without a DAW, the ZOOM R20 is a great option.  The price is just at the point where it's affordable for what you're able to achieve.  The R20 allows me the flexibility of creating demos with multiple tracks and then exporting to Garage Band for further editing and manipulation for a more polished track.
