Default Getting Zoom R8 to Work

Hey all, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to all recording, hardware, etc.

I've been recording a demo straight onto the R8 but decided I was going to try and record through it using it as an audio interface straight into reaper (currently using Reaper V4.61 x64)

Installed driver, choose Mackie Control Universal under control surfaces, set the MIDI inputs and outputs to being the Zoom R8, set the input device as Line (Zoom R8 Audio Interface)

Yet all I get is this horrible rapid clicking sound. I also get error messages telling me the MIDI input/output couldn't be opened.

Could someone please give me a basic terms start to finish of intalling and setting up the Zoom R8 as an audio interface or suggest when I've gone wrong?

thanks.

Did you put the R8 in audio interface mode? Hit the "USB" button and then "enter" twice I believe will do it.

Problem Solved, I think.

Basically, I'm so new to this that I didn't know the R8 uses ASIO, and so I had to install that and then select it. Sorry for any trouble caused

Thanks, although if that isn't the problem fully solved I may be coming back, hahah.
