That would be good to know. Part of the question is whether the meters give you enough visual clues that you can dial in the mix that you're getting when recording multiple channels.
Without the ability to gang channels, the ability to accurately set two main channels is pretty important. Do the meters let you set the levels between two channels easily and accurately?
More generally, I'd like to know how well the metering scheme on the F8 works. It looks like it has a nice overall LED bar meter for the main mix with some more limited metering on each channel pot?
The SD7xx metering is highly visible, accurate, and there's a long scale to it as opposed to there being some little grayscale LED screen with a maybe an inch of meter bars and then a little hash mark without any numerical indication of what the db levels are. The SD has nice, long scale, colors, and the LED will display numerical db levels.
