Zoom H4N digital audio recorder

[akbychoice]

Where is the remote ?

[mandolinroad]

This recorder (and many others like it) is unfortunately useless because of one very simple thing. The built-in mic preamps (for external mics) are too weak and have way too high a noise floor, rendering them useless for amplifying of a dynamic hand mic such as the MD21, RE50 etc. The technical data, various buttons etc. that have been added and/or changed, are completely irrelevant and anyone with any experience in professional audio can testify to this.

Yeh so Rob, how well does the watch keep time? Is that titanium like the Tag or cheap steel like the the Seiko?

[MGR1900]

Hi, I'm Rob Barafala showing off my awesome watch! How do you like it? I think I'm cool.

[johnmediaace]

@MGR1900 Just waiting on the latest response from Rob regarding his shiny watch. I asked a few potent questions including street price..

[MGR1900]

Is this video about the Zoom or this idiot's watch?

[poundpit]

[Kramnosnits]

I'd like that fancy display stand! he can keep the wrist-watch.

[F5SHOW]

We are using the h4n in combination with HDSLR cameras, and this thing totally kicks ass! Great audio quality, great controls. The only thing we needed to do was update the firmware so we could independently control channel 1 and channel 2 audio levels.

[576ito1080p]

Does nobody go out into the real world to test these things?

[BetterDuckAudio]

Samson dude is really showing that watch off.

[urheadonastick]

Instructions are flat out terrible- gives you no clue how to drop the files into qbase then burn a cd- I'm sorry I ever bought one.

[marsnowm00z]

how does one cut segments using the h4n

[ShivsSon]

comment 2-2: And if I listen back the recording by switching my asio driver to the built-in-input I get a kind of robot hearing of my recording. Do I have to make an Aggregate Device in Audio Devices of mac or do I have to adjust something in the zoom h4n to hear back what I have recorded in cubase. I what do I have to do precise in the Device Setup and VST connections in cubase? Can somebody help me, I will be very thankfull since I have to deliver a recording soon. Many thanks in advance!

[ShivsSon]

Hi can someone help me how to set up my zoom H4n as an audio interface on my mac? I have a Mac OS x, 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, @GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM. I use Cubase essential 4. I already updated my zoom with the latest driver. In the Audio Midi setup of my Mac the Zoom is been recognized when the zoom is set to 'USB AUDIO I/F' mode. When I choose H4 I can only use H4 for the input and output. I can not use my 'Built-in ouput' as my output. This is a problem because I can't playback the song!

[WildGunman77]

I like how he keeps trying to show off his wrist watch

[socialspidey]

this is a cheap recorder

[blazing149]

LOL a Video promoting a Digital Field Recorder and the Audio is the worst I have ever heard, i am hoping you did not use the Zoom to record this as that will not help selling any of these recorders ......

[outithewoods]

good piece of Kit But i couldn't turn down the Tascam DR100 for what i payed

[outithewoods]

how does it compare to the Tascam DR100?

[CatStripeProductions]

Thank you for this Video. I just ordered one for field recording for video projects. I've never owned a recorder but I'm glad I read the user's manual beforehand. Lots of stuff to understand.

[aaronharnett]

I am trying to understand this manual, but the translation from Japanese (I'm assuming) is terrible. Any after market documentation?

[mgruichjr]

Great unit, go to 4 channel mode to adjust levels (Line and Mic). Great direct from sound\mixing board as well. Used for 3 interviews (time code sync) and live music. A lot of features and combinations availible. Got the remote unit ($40.00), great not having to be hands on once you set it up.

[GlassIzFull]

Got one yesterday.. pretty amazing. My only concern is those mics look ready to break, almost predicting that, like murphy's law, if it can drop and break, it will. These are just waiting to be dropped and oh oh, there goes your $300 dollar little mics. Wish it had the protective wirefram like most mics, although wouldn't look as cool.

[GrinderDeath]

I want with the inputs, electronic drums which one is better for that, the H4N or the R16?

[espilehiyo]

a cant find the 4track! help please...thanksss

[benjanning]

funny nerdy accents

[TheSideMission]

what the hell is a "nerdy accent"?

[rubent100]

a non deep voice like i have.

[TIMETOWAKEUPEUROPE]

ASIO does not work on Windows 7 x64. What a shame :(

We waiting for update!

[michauvon]

Which one would you recommend for recording acousti guitar, H 2 or H 4? H4 unfortunately is twice expensive :/

[bourksey76]

that was good. thanks, helpful demo!

[NicGonzalez1]

This definitely beats the edirol R-09 models any day and the crappy tascam recorder. Is there a remote for the zoom h4n?

[FredeJyllMusic]

Yes there is.. the Zoom RC-4 Remote!!! XD

[KalaniPrince]

Check out my test with the H4n on Maui's windy north shore. Peace out-

[GUARDONISSIMO1]

Please... can someone tell me if the device would be good to record a concert from a distance of let' say 40meters?

or there would be a better recorder.

thnx

[spectorman09]

yes, I recorded from about that distance at the Reading jazz fest recently and it did a nice job. Place it away from the audience, off to the side if possible or it will record conversations from people around it as well as the concert. Very good recorder and nice price to. With the optional battery pack it doubles as a stun gun to freak out your riends with.

[GUARDONISSIMO1]

thanks a lot

[openairpreacher]

I went to guitar center to get one and they dont have it,,, DUH!

[ldrvn]

im considering getting one... anyone know what the RRP for australia is?

[MikeDinkins]

Yes. Two 1/4 in/XLR combo inputs on the bottom. Awesome device, fixed all the problems with the excellent H4 and brought in significant improvements.

[ChinaAl]

Does it have the XLR imputs?

[darthnalgas]

Just got one, nice and easy to use, good sound with lot's of file type's. Easy to transfer files to Pro Tools or you can use the included Cubase LE. I will be getting the optional wired remote for more flexibility. Wake up with a riff on the brain and H4N it in seconds. Lot's of record time with a 32gb SDHC card.

[Chrisism57]

The audio on this video clip makes watching it unbearable... hardly convincing when reviewing a device that records audio.

[theninj1]

He wasn't using the H4n to record the audio...

[eudigox]

Awesome! Thank you
