Hi 8TrackJoe, smile
Yes, I did read about this issue reported by a number of Zoom recorder owners in their Amazon.Com reviews and it immediately drew my attention, especially because I want to record out from my mixer into the line-in of my recorder as well. This concern perhaps swayed me into deciding on the Tascam DR-07MKii over a Zoom recorder. That said, is it not possible on the Zoom recorder to simply turn the rec input level down low enough, or alternatively, turn down the mixer's output level enough to avoid overloading the input signal into the Zoom recorder? Other than that, the Zoom H models & features sound very very impressive, especially the H4n. smile
