Thanks for the video! I appreciate how you reviewed it in a more musical context. Saw one on marketplace for $100 which seems like a good price.

Hi, thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed the video. Oh yeah that’s a good price for sure! Is that a HN4 or HN4 Pro?

I have an old H4N, it always helped me keeping the recordings going when traveling(Whether it's in an hostel room or in the wild). Don't know if the pro is that different but the old one is still really really good !

@FabianHollandGuitar Ай бұрын

Nice one! Thanks for the comment 😊👍 The pro just has a little better preamps than the H4N but other than that I think they’re pretty much the same!

Thanks, you have been very helpful. I am searching for the very first recording device for my daughter. Something relative easy to operate with. She's playing a classical guitar for nine years now and just won a national and international competition this year. Everything become much more serious and we realize we need also sth more serious for recording, couse phone audio sounds really bad. This Zoom model is apparently 12 years old but for a reasonably price now as there are new models out. Do you think it would be still usable for a few years as everything in digital world is becoming outdated so quick? I am also wondering if we also need a stand and what stand are you using? Wish you a lot of success in your music. You play and sing so wonderful. 🤩👌 Thanks for everything.

Hi thanks for the question! Sorry for the late reply, it usually takes me a while to get through all my comments. Yeah absolutely, this would be perfect I think!! The good thing is you don’t have to rely on a computer for this. The onboard mics are still great a will be for a long time. Microphones don’t really get outdated in the same way other tech does. I’m just using a mic stand and then using an adapter that fits to the Zoom. I would say that if you’re planning on creating videos then bear in mind that the HN4 is quite big and might not be aesthetically pleasing as say a small condenser mic, but you do always have the option of plugging in external mics into the recorder if you wish to do that at some point. Hope that helps?

Hey Fabian, great video and amazing guitar playing as usual! I am looking to buy this portable mic and I found your great review. Do you know if it is possible to have the build-in reverb only while recording and keep the recorded track clean in order to add a higher quality reverb in post-processing. Cheers

@FabianHollandGuitar 2 күн бұрын

Hey Simone, how’s it going? Great to hear from you!! I’m not actually sure if you can use the Reverb just for monitoring when recording? I’d need to try it and then get back to you!! I have to say I’ve never liked any of the onboard effects though so I always just add them after I record.

@greensimo 2 күн бұрын

@@FabianHollandGuitar yeah, if you can add the strymon after there is no competition, it makes a lot of sense...I will get a h4 pro recorder next week so don't worry with testing the monitoring reverb option for me...I think it is not crucial...I used to have a h2 that served me for roughly 10 yrs and it was impressive! Great to get in touch with you and great videos :)

@@FabianHollandGuitar You have two of it? I mean while you are talking with the H4nPro in hand, but it is not recording. Anyway, I liked the video. I have plenty of other recorders, so no need for one more, but I somehow became interested through your presentation. Good job.

@FabianHollandGuitar did you use the H4N for this video or a different device. Audio sounds great. Thanks

@FabianHollandGuitar 23 күн бұрын

Hi, yes I did!! Sorry it sometimes takes me a while to reply to all my comments. Any guitar that you hear in the video was recorded with the H4N Pro onboard mics with no EQ and just a little reverb.

Hey man ive been thinking of getting this mic just a few questions. I dont have a laptop so i would only be using this h4n pro device, headphones, my samsung s20 fe phone, power bank, watever usb splitter you recommend. I want to use bandlab daw on my phone to record on the go anywhere possible release some singles, i also have a sm57 instrumental mic, is there any way to monitor from the phone (not the h4n) so i can record and monitor and hear the effected, eq, and watever i put in the daw directly through headphone (keep in mind that I dont have a headphone jack on my phone. What do you think of this setup idea.

@FabianHollandGuitar Ай бұрын

Hey man, yeah that sounds like a nice portable setup for sure! 👍 I don’t think there’s a way to monitor from your phone whilst the H4N is connected, at least I wasn’t able to find a way. I wonder if there’s a way to monitor via the H4N and still have your effects and EQ come through from your DAW? I don’t know if there’s a way to do it from the phone or DAW? I’m not sure about that? How important is it for you to be able to monitor from your DAW? I would also consider monitoring just from the H4N, it might make it easier sometimes, also you can still record the audio directly onto the H4N’s SD Card and record the video on your phone and put them together with a simple video editing app.

Hello from Poland👋🏻 Few months ago I just started recording some covers on my instagram music account, it's going well, but I feel that the sound quality is lacking. So far, I've just recorded with my iPhone, sound and image. I have just iphone 14pro, martin d10e, and my voice. I want to buy something like zoom to record. I can sing and play quite well I think, but I'm completely amateur in recording. I want to start a KZfaq channel with my covers and original song, but i need some better sound quality than smartphone microphone. Do you think zoom is enough for the start? Do I need something more to good record, at the moment? Thanks 😊

@FabianHollandGuitar 5 күн бұрын

Hi there! Thanks for the question. Are you singing as well as playing guitar? The zoom is great for both but the mics on board the H4N Pro are very directional, meaning they’re not the best at picking up sound from a wide space. Covers on KZfaq is a great idea by the way 😉👍

Hi Fabian, i just got one recently and i wanted to use it to record myself and send the output into my amp at the same time. It seems to work, but only when i press "record". Do you think there is a way to have the sound of the mic without recording? (i don't know if i'm clear, i can try to rephrase it if needed)

@FabianHollandGuitar 17 күн бұрын

Hi, thanks! That’s actually a good question, are you sending the headphone out to your amp then? If you are then It should have the sound coming out of the headphone out when you just “arm” the record button (that’s when it’s flashing but not yet recording.

I use the Reverb on my DAW not on the Zoom. I don’t find the effects to be particularly good on the Zoom but that’s not what I use it for. Adding the effects after in the DAW is a lot easier than trying to do it directly in the zoom.

Fabian… in your opinion… recording vocals and Martin D42 at the same time. (Single mic) BEST MIC?

@FabianHollandGuitar Ай бұрын

Hey Jasper! It depends on what sound you’re after? If you’re looking for a warm vintage sound then maybe a ribbon mic would be best, I love the sound of a Coles Ribbon Mics or the Royer Labs Ribbons. But if you’re after a sound that is pure, clear and direct then maybe a large diaphragm would be better. Something like the AKG C414 or the Neumann TLM 107 or the Austrian Audio Oc818.
