clive jones Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Long story but finally got around to loading Cakewalk for Bandlab. Trying to connect my Zoom R16 audio interface . Device is recognised but only the one channel, being; LEFT RIGHT Stereo (ie; missing the other 7, not visible). I have 16 channels on the Zoom - previously in Cakewalk, I would see the R-L-Stereo combo for all 8 channels giving me access to 16 monos. Any ideas on why I can only see the one Channel?

0 chuckebaby Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Do you possibly have the r16 in Card Reader mode and not Interface mode ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CoveCamper Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I own a Zoom R16 ( it's sitting in a box in my closet at the moment as a backup to the interface I'm using now). I've never encountered the problem you are having, so I probably can not help much, but the only problems I ever encountered was that you had to have the Zoom powered up and connected before you started your DAW or it would throw things off and you had to make sure the sample rate was the same on the Zoom as your DAW. Every once in a while the Zoom would power up at 48khz instead of 44.1khz or vice versa for some odd reason. But if the sample rate was different it would throw things off too. Good luck.

0 clive jones Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Pk. Unforts I am not at my PC at the moment, so no screenshot for today. The PC picks up the Zoom as the audio device so no problem there and, as I stated, Cakewalk does recognise it but only registers the one channel. I will check the 48khz vs 44.1khz & sample rate points. thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 clive jones Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 ... actually thinking about upgrading to another interface, maybe a Focusrite or Steinberg 8 channel model - the Zoom is old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pwal³ Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 recent windows update bork the drivers maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 clive jones Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Driver must be ok because both Windows and Cakewalk recognises the Zoom. to repeat; I can get one channel in Cakewalk for the Zoom but one only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Steve M Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I've just discovered Cakewalk and realised I'm supposed to be able to link my Zoom R16 to it. I've experienced the same issue at Clive - only one channel is linked. I've followed a Youtube video by Audio Sorcerer to set up the audio interface, but it doesn't solve the problem. Has anyone any inspiration? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 parboo12 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Although, I have never owned or used this machine, I have used similar recorders. I had a look at the documentation for it and there are only 2 Outs ( 1 stereo ). I'm sure that if you want to record more than two tracks at once, you could record them on your Zoom and transfer the audio files into Cakewalk. I don't know offhand how to do it, but I'm sure that there is a way. Tip: take the SD card out of your recorder and put it in your computer, it's way faster than USB.

Question
clive jones
Long story but finally got around to loading Cakewalk for Bandlab. Trying to connect my Zoom R16 audio interface .
Device is recognised but only the one channel, being; LEFT RIGHT Stereo (ie; missing the other 7, not visible).
I have 16 channels on the Zoom - previously in Cakewalk, I would see the R-L-Stereo combo for all 8 channels giving me access to 16 monos.
Any ideas on why I can only see the one Channel?
I have updated the Zoom software and Firmware, re-booted, sworn, cajoled and pleaded... etc...
Thx
