Default Setup with Zed R16

I'm a new Reaper user and I am VERY excited to have found this software; the concept/philosophy is brillient.

My experience level with DAWs is pretty low - I have a net 6 months experience with Protools LE + 003 and after reading about Reaper, I want to switch before I commit more time to PT.

I have a brand spanking new A&H Zed R16 and I'm a few frustrating hours into getting it setup with Reaper (thanks to operator inexperience!!). So, I'm on 2 learning curves at the same time. I've yet to record a track on Reaper.

My first setup question is (there probably will be more):

The Zed R16 is connected to laptop via firewire (the optional 2in/2out ADAT ports on the ZED are unused). In Reaper Options > Preferences I am set to Audio system = ASIO; ASIO Driver = ASIO ZED R"; Enabled inputs options options for first and last are "ZED R16 ADAT 1" through "ZED R16 ADAT 16". Same for output range.

When I use PT, my input options include BOTH Analog (which I use) and ADAT (which I don't).

Should I be seeing Analog options in the input section (not just ADAT). Conversely, if I'm connected via Firewire, can I still use the ADAT in and out options in Reaper?

Thanks for the help!

I'm beginning to think this is a driver issue, but now that I've reloaded the driver...again, still no luck.

Welcome to the forum, WinstonN.

Wow, I just googled Zed R16, that's surely a cool piece of gear . Sad to hear you get those problems. You definitely should see all I/O options.

I don't think many users here have access to that board. If there is no newer driver available, I'd post it in the bug reports forum here at Cockos and also file it to A&H support, so the devs can contact. Maybe there is a forum over at A&H as well where you have a better chance to get the problem confirmed?

Hope you get it sorted out soon, it would be such a pity.

Could it be something simple like this?


(From the R16 manual)
