I bought one of these today at a steep discount on Reverb.  Excited to get my hands on it and give it a workout...not that there's any shows coming up soon for me.

wow, $380 is a smokin deal

dont believe the "you cannot clip it" hype tho

It's not that you can't clip it, but you probably won't, unless you're using very sensitive mics and/or recording really hot levels.

Amazing deal, for sure.

Been fooling around with the F6 at home and I like it so far.

Navigating the menus is a little clumsy but the more you do something the easier it gets.

The preamps sound pretty good at least in a home test recording things around the house and some guitar and mandolin.

Maybe one day shows will return and I can get out and use it for real but it's getting worse where I live not better.

we just gotta get thru winter. there will be 100+ million vaccines deployed before summer even gets here

yeah the menus are a bit counter intuitive. whats advantageous is if youre not using all 6 channels all the time you can keep 2 setup for line-in,  etc.

to me the 'enter' and the 'back' buttons seem like they are always in the wrong place. also i pity anyone with fat fingers, not a lot of room

Anyone use this in interface mode? I can't get any of my DAWs to recognize it as an input device.

I tried both modes in the menu and several programs (Wavelab, Reaper and CD Wave Editor) and it didn't show up as a device in any of them. I don't "podcast" per se but I would like to be able to use interface with loopback mode to add some dialog to my Mixlr stream when I do my Straight from Tape broadcasts when I'm doing transfers of old or rare stuff.

hmm that’s strange. work for me on win 7.

you sure that usb cable is good? do you have any other usb-c data devices?

Working here, Win 10 and REAPER. Downloaded and installed latest Zoom drivers??

I did a fresh install of all the drivers and updated the firmware to the latest version. I can see the device in Reaper and Wavelab but I'm still getting errors. I'll come back to it later and see if I can figure it out. I don't have a lot of time to do my Mixlr broadcasts right now anyway work is kicking my ass.
