How do you record on two Zoom F8s with one button?

Soak Up Sound · 2 min read

One controller, two recorders, 16 inputs. REC and STOP go to both machines at once.

Fader Bridge stays connected to two F8-series recorders at the same time. You get 16 inputs under one controller and one record button for both machines.

How to set it up

1. Turn on F8 Control on both recorders (MENU › SYSTEM › Bluetooth).
2. The second recorder joins by itself, with no pairing or mode switching.
3. Each recorder keeps its place: after a restart the faders do not swap machines.

How it works on set

• REC and STOP go to both recorders at once. Recording on both machines starts and stops with one button.
• Faders switch between recorders: on the nanoKONTROL with the scene button (1 and 3 → recorder A, 2 and 4 → B), on the X-Touch with BANK / CHANNEL.
• The display shows which recorder you control, and the other one's status appears as a dot in the header.
• A controller mapping made in the wizard is stored separately for each recorder.
