Anyone using Zoom R24 or R16 with iPad ?

I still have R8, don't use it much, but its portable usefulness means I cannot sell it. I am using Focusrite 18i20 as my regular interface. Also have behringer ADAT interface connected to that. Not very portable though.

I have many channels when at home but still only stereo when portable

Portable multichannel audio interfaces that work with iOS are still a rarity. The TE TX-6 looks great but it's outta reach and it has no MIDI ports.
Fyi, I ended up getting a Tascam US800. 6 mono inputs with phantom power plus S/PDIF I/0.

Inside the unit, there's enough space to fit a flat shaped 5000mAh USB power bank and a CCK3 (if you're into DIY hacks) for recording or mixing outdoors.

This works well on iPad. 8 channels and quite cheap.

Behringer U-Phoria UMC1820

Yes as well as 10 outs, plus coax and optical digital in and outs, midi din in and out and extendable via ADAT.

The Tascam looks perfect. Wish I'd seen that when I was shopping for an interface!

Looks like a handy device. But maybe more as the front end of a digital mixer, than a recorder? You can connect all you gear, no need to use an extra mixer, or constantly switch cables. I assume Ipad cannot record multiple audio streams at once, because of limited RAM memory, or data transfer speed? Or can it? Not that I need it.

It most certainly can. Depending on the application, it can record 16 tracks or more at the same time.

You can easily record all 8 channels at once.
So far I've only used Audio Evolution Mobile for multitrack recording but I'm sure other apps will do that as well.
