What is the maximum recording length?
What is the maximum recording length?
The maximum recording time for the Zoom R20 Portable Multitrack Recorder is dependent on a few factors, including the capacity of the memory card and the number of tracks, which will determine the number of total hours of recording time that will fit on the memory card, but the R20 also has a built-in project-based limit for each individual project that allows a maximum of 1,350 bars for a single project. If you set the tempo to a slow speed (for example, 40 beats per minute) with a time signature of 4/4, this would allow for approximately 135 minutes (2 hours and 15 minutes) of recording time for a single project.
