Just want to give a heads up on the new ZOOM F8N Pro. We loved our F8N and immediately picked the the new Pro with 32bit float and it is great EXCEPT for one HORRIFIC file destroying bug. If you use the bluetooth control to change the bit depth from 24 to 32bit or back to 24bit the recordings will be just noise, even though it sounds good in the headphones and appears to be working correctly. Probably a minor software bug but until fixed i would avoid using the bluethooth app altogether.

Just an update to our last post about the Zoom F8N Pro, Zoom support has been fantastic and there is a was to fix the seemingly trashed files in Audition. Just don't change the bit depth using the app until update.
