A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I'm Dean Wolfe, a mostly self-taught Canadian guitarist/composer/multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer/performer. I started out as a full time musician, on the road at age 17 for two years, then went part-time ever since, while holding day careers including chef and spiritual health care while raising a family.
As a producer I've made hundreds of my own songs for media and award winning documentaries etc. I've been in several bands including a prog/jazz fusion act nFuze, performing in International Jazz festivals and jazz clubs. I mostly abandoned the prog genre in the 90s but have returned to it now with vigour 30 years later. So much prog! My own prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i detoured into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk / acoustic fingerstyle guitar and ambient electronic as well). At the end of 2022 I fell into a shoegaze rabbit hole (so you will see lots featured here.)

I saw the tape on the HD card door before you talked about it. I have the same problem and now have Scotch tape on mine. Great video. I love my H4 as well.

Have one but can't upgrade the firmware. Want to be able to use it. I'll look at some videos teaching me what to do.

I cannot believe you haven't gotten more comments on this video. You did a great editing job. You told quite simply how to use the h4n zoom And by the way I do love my h4n zoom. Also your audio in your video was superb. KK Motion Pictures Also on KZfaq

my experience with gear videos is they really start taking off after a month or several months as the algorithm learns who is interested, so I'm confident it'll be an evergreen video

I have never had the problem with my SD card getting stuck in there. I always try to be very gentle with that when I push it in or unload it. But one of my hinges on the SD card door has broken so it's kind of hanging on by one little hinge. If I could find the right glue to glue that because part of the hinge is still in the machine and I can see it. I would attempt gluing it perhaps with a toothpick. Do you have any ideas on that ? Certain glues will not glue plastic together for some odd reason. KK Motion Pictures Keith Kuhn

I guess a model shop might be a good place to get adhesive advice.

@@deanwolfechannel Hello again I suppose you're right I should check with some model shops To see what type of bluestone they recommend. Thanks for the reply. Keith
