Even though it's 2024 and the H4e has shipped, videos like these are still very helpful - I decided to get the 15 year old h4n Pro just today thanks to this I know exactly what to expect

Mr. Sytes, just watched your brilliant video because my H4n pro is on it's way to me and I wanted to get a jump on it. This was one of the best instructional videos I have come across, no matter what the product. I am even more confident than ever that I pulled the trigger on this device. Crystal clear video and Crystal clear audio and you have a great speaking voice... Very well done !

Mr. Sytes, thank you for making this video. I appreciate that you describe the H4N so a beginner can understand, especially describing all of the functions in the menu system. Your video was so much more helpful than the half dozen others I have watched on this item. You have a new subscriber. I am so excited about starting to create music in a little hobby studio. So far I have the PO-33 KO pocket operator for a cheap sampler/sequencer, Beyerdynamics DT770 250ohm headphones, a JBL headphone amp, and a PC. I think the H4n and a condenser mic will be great for capturing sounds and being my audio interface. No DAW yet, I'm leaning towards Ableton Live. Keep up the great work, and I am excited about exploring your videos.

Nice overview! I had no idea about the 90 degree/180 degree feature on the mics. Super cool. One thing I would recommend if you get one of these is to get an 8gb or 16gb SD card. That boot up time turns into over a minute and a half with a 32 gb card. Love this little recorder.

@diversedad7954 3 жыл бұрын

I've owned this thing for over 10yrs(the original version non pro) and I haven't used half of its features. It's an amazing little device and I got a great idea watching your video. I'm going to hook up the line out to my wireless transmitter then hook the wireless receiver to my camera. I think that will allow me to have all the control of this H4n and run it directly into my camera so I don't have to sync later AND it will be wireless! Why have I never thought of this?!

This is so great, thanks for sharing! I also love the shameless (but slick) reminders to share and like. So not sure how familiar you are with studio recording, but do you think that a brass musician on a budget could use the Zoom H4n pro (with built-in mics) to record an album? I can’t find anything about doing this online. I just started creating more serious KZfaq videos and the Zoom works fine for this, but could it be album quality? That’s the big question. Any suggestions, including your mic of preference, would be much appreciated! 🙏🏽

As a teacher and trainer...WOW! I learned so much from this video. I have had my Zoom H4n since spring of 2011. I used it for a couple years just to record piano composition ideas and then I set it aside and forgot about it. I'm again working on my songwriting and heard from a friend the H4n could be used as an audio interface. Since I'm shopping to set up my home studio I'm happy to hear that perhaps I won't need to spend the big bucks on a different interface if what I already have works. This video was excellent and gave my non-tech brain much help. How has it worked for you? Thanks Mike!!!
