[@amdelk_art]

What a great tutorial. You didn't assume we know anything, which was perfect for me. Sometimes people make videos for more advanced users, assuming we understand the terminology that, for me...is too much and makes the tutorial difficult to follow.

I don't understand why an incredible teacher like you doesn't have timecodes in the description? Never mind, I saw the link! You saved me! Saved by the link! Girl's gotta do a MTR in 2 days and I'm a tad rusty. Thank you, Mike!!! 😎

@@lizziebordenaudio Hi Kate! Yes, they still go out. Did you click the link in the description below the video? A page would have appeared where you input your email address and hit submit to get the pdf file. I checked in my auto-responder account for the past two days and I don't see an email address that looks like your name. I don't want anyone to post their email address here but if you could give me the first three letters of the email address you used it would help me find you in my auto-responder account and then I could just email it to you. Alternatively, try putting your email address in the form on the page when you click the link in the description. Let me know--I want you to have the booklet. --Mike McMillan

[@InfoProductEarnings]

4channel mode creates 2 separate files on the SD card. One for built in mikes, one for externe mikes. You can mix them new ie in audacity

Thanks for the info Findus. I'm sure that will be helpful for others to know here. Take care and best luck with your channel! --Mike McMillan

[@appletreehifi]

Very well done! you managed to make me (my attention span is max. 20 sec.) stay and look at a screen with one almost stationary device for about an hour. Thank you very much learned a lot.

[@InfoProductEarnings]

Thank you so much for your nice comment. Glad you liked the video. Although you can use the built in microphones on top of the unit, I prefer plugging in a lav mic to the back of the unit as I often stand while recording and that gives me a little more freedom to move around a bit. Good luck with your projects!

[@BoiseNewWave]

First time running Audio for a project today, wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing before I stepped foot on set. Thank you for the professional and extensive tutorial!

[@InfoProductEarnings]

Thank you for your nice comment, Pascal!

[@fredflintstone8859]

Dude, Thanks for that tutorial. I learned more in your vid than a dozen other creators who claim to show functions and features for this H4N model. They just sit there and talk or sit there and sing and play their song or hook up all this peripheral equipment, keyboards, mics, mixers, but never show how to use the damn thing. I just wanted a tool to record multi track acoustic guitars with a vocal to sound decent enough for songwriting. Nobody would use this thing for real world recordings. You should do a tutorial on how to do tutorials when reviewing equipment. Thanks Again!

[@InfoProductEarnings]

Thanks so much for your nice comment, Fred. Greatly appreciated!

HI Mike I'm awaiting delivery of my H4N Pro and thought I'd familiarise myself with some of the buttons & functions of the recorder and came across your video. Thank you for putting this together you have explained everything step by step so clearly and easy to understand can't wait for the recorder to arrive and test it out. Keep up the good work.

[@InfoProductEarnings]

Thanks so much for your kind comment. Best wishes! --Mike McMillan

[@FunkMan53]

A beat track as you call it is a "CLICK TRACK" in film terminology. I'm a studio musician since 1972 and I've never heard it called anything else :-) but you have made a great little video and you get into most of the details of the H4N which was very useful for me as I didn't know all of the functions either. Thanks, have a great day!

[@InfoProductEarnings]

Hey, thanks for the heads up on the "click track" term. Glad I know that. I don't have the studio experience you have so I appreciate the heads up! Nice to meet you and best wishes!--Mike McMillan

[@PuffinPass]

Great vid answered a lot of questions as I am trying to decide whether to pick one up currently. One question I have though is whether it is possible to use the MTR with 2 XLR input sources simultaneously? Looking to do a voiceover tack and ambient track in one go.

[@InfoProductEarnings]

Good question. I have only one mic with an XLR connector so I can't test this myself for you. However I believe you can do this. Also the following video by Colin Gray titled, Setting Separate Recording Levels on Each Zoom H4n XLR Input, shows exactly what you are asking about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYa7onqggMqApas Hope that is helpful. By the way it is a very short 3 minute video so it won't take all day to watch. --Mike McMillan
