3.0 out of 5 stars Good to great FX but flakey ports
I needed a compact USB audio interface for use with Ableton Live on two different computers:1. Dell G5 Ryzen 7 - Windows 102. 14" MacBook Pro M2 - OSX 13Two different experiences with each laptop and lastly a build issue.1. With the Dell, installed drivers just fine & software installs fine but struggles to find the connected interface. It takes several tries but once it finds it you can adjust FX parameters. All necessary parameters are here including how to bypass the Zoom FX to record a dry signal. Cannot adjust the FX without launching the editing software first. Dial in your FX, exit editing software, launch DAW and record. If you need to record a dry signal just bypass FX and add FX to your tracks in the DAW later. Defeats purpose of having FX through the device but wanted to point it out. Monitoring a dry signal requires this.Every DAW used (Live, Reaper, Cakewalk) recognized the Zoom interface which tells me the driver is solidly coded. Manual switch to Zoom interface is required in each DAW. Recording is fine. No issues recording. No clock issues and no latency issues. Playback however has issues but this is due to the Dell's Ryzen 7 processor and not Zoom audio interface.2. MacBook Tests: Encountered no issues with software/driver install on MacBook. Zoom software and both Reaper and Ableton Live recognize device however you have to ensure you manually change the device in audio preferences for each DAW. Connecting interface does not auto configure the audio interface in each DAW. Make sure to have the right cable and cable adapter as this is a USB-C interface.Since purchasing, have not utilized interface for recording often. Just two tests to ensure on two different PCs to ensure functionality. Mostly use this interface to monitor audio playback in DAW software on different laptops and the product functions as desired/expected.Problem: The connectors are loose after plugging in and unplugging audio cables. The 1/8th headphone jack is now useless. Most likely the solder have broken or connectors inside unit are loose. This will require taking apart the interface and respldering or repairing brokenconnections. If you are going to leave cables connected on your desk and will not plug/unplug frequently then this will not be an issue. Gigging musicians however will eventually encounter issues as the connectors will eventually fail. Look elsewhere for a mobile recoeding interface.
1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Terrible Could Not Get It To Recognize Cubase or Audacity
I love Zoom products, have the G1X4 and it is amazing! I loved this versatile pedal so much and I just wanted to record my music with it, that's all I wanted to do. How wrong I was to buy this box. I could hear music in the GCE-3, the Cubase and Audacity recognized it, but I could not get a track to work. Cubase refused to lay down a track, Audacity pushed a -9999 error out every time I pressed the record button. Seven hours later after countless youtube tutorials and scouring reddit I was absolutely livid!!! I changed the sampling rates, I checked the output and input, the microphones, it would not work no matter what I did, settings I changed or computer I used. I am just out of money, I went with another 'guitarist friendly' brand in the hope I can record.
5.0 out of 5 stars It needs a warning about the fake facade
It's extremely light and small. Literally almost nothing mass wise, yet it's a GN5 without the surface controls. It's a USB-C audio interface, with AUX input and volume control. That's it, besides the Zoom cpu and effects it has built in.I love this thing. I have LOTS of high end audio gear and guitar stuff. So I'm not new to this. Including Zoom.
4.0 out of 5 stars Give it a chance
Its definitely misleading based on the pictures, but bear in mind this is an audio interface meant to be used with a computer software, not a standalone pedal like their other effects pedals. I definitely was shocked at first but after learning what it's used for I definitely grew to love it. Its convenient to practice with, and good for audio recording my bass and keyboard too. Definitely think zoom shouldn't have made it look as adjustable as they did, but this thing is still a beast for what it's meant to do: give you every effect under zooms brand at your fingertips (as long as you're using their software of course.)
5.0 out of 5 stars A must in your travel gear
This little box has something to say about the future of audio interfaces/multi effects gear: bang for the buck with many machines on a device which literally fits in your pocket. The downside, however, is on the audio interface performance side, I mean, it pops and freezes about miliseconds when another track in a DAW is running, although not incapacitating for playing, this detail is very annoying.
3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was expecting at all...
First of all, I love Zoom effects - I own several of them. When I first saw this on the web earlier this year I was excited to have something small and yet (seemingly) controllable.Well, mine just arrived, and when I opened the box I actually said out loud "is this a joke?" (note: I now see that this is addressed in the Q&A section - after I ordered it.)Yes, it looks like its bigger siblings. But every single 'knob', 'button', and 'switch' is nonfunctional. Even the 'displays' are just plastic-topped labels.I was hoping for some control over the effects, but it looks like it only works with a computer.It probably sounds amazing just like Zoom's other effects and pedals.But it's not what I expected at all - and it's going back.
It is not a processor, it is an audio interface for electric guitars
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I'm satisfied. Nice device for recording your guitar playing. Not meant for stage concerts because it is not a processor.
Don’t bother
Just a toy, brutal really a few decent sounds but I wouldn’t waste my money.
Excelente emulador de pedales multiefectos e Interfaz de audio
Primero que nada una aclaración, este no es un pedal o una pedalera, es una interfaz de audio que nos da acceso a diferentes pedales multi efectos de guitarra electrica, acústica y bajo electrico.Funciona bastante bien, y te da una licencia para Cubase LE.El único pero que le pongo es la sensación que da, no es un juguete, pero parece serlo.
Buena idea, excelente hardware, muy mal software.
Es buena la idea, el hardware responde rápidamente, es imperceptible un retraso entre las cuerdas y el sonido. El pero es su software, es extraordinariamente complicado de entender y usar. No es la opinión de alguien que no sabe ni configurar una impresora, soy programador, y les confirmo que el software es terriblemente difícil de usar.
