How the Zoom H4N Will Take Your Production to the Next Level!

[@AdventuresInVideo]

If anyone's in need of instant anxiety, you can find some right here: 3:06 (Where did you film that, by the way? I don't recognize that area.) Great video! Recently got a basic ol' H1n and it has already transformed my audio significantly. Love that little guy.

[@rynfilms]

Awesome! I haven't used the H1n yet. That was Fat Mans Pass on South Mountain. 🌵 It's a neat area, takes a little work to get to though.

[@KaiTiura]

Surprised that you're doing an H4 vid now when Zoom is up to the H8. I have an H5 and love it! Good info.

[@rynfilms]

At some point I have to stop upgrading for a while! 🤣 I started this video over a year ago. It's just one of those I had put so much work into I just wanted to get it done. Still a great recorder though!

[@KaiTiura]

@@rynfilms yeah! I was really surprised at just how well my H5 worked as a VoiceOver mic recently in my echo-prone office while doing a tutorial video for my daughter's video footage. They are solid recorders! Always enjoy your content, Ryan!

@@rynfilms My H4N still works great

[@The_Matrix_I_Am]

depends on the person, what they want, need, and their budget... I got sold a H4N Pro this year when I decided I wanted to get into filming. keep in mind that's 2 years after your comment. it's 2023 now.

[@stevehardy7584]

Thanks for this. I put my H4n away for the last 2 years. On taking it out I now find it covered with a horrible sticky layer. The rubberized plastic has somehow sweated out a glue-like substance. A glance a KZbin tells me I'm not the 1st!

[@DavidCross914]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one

[@jaypeerayco4744]

this video needs more views, and your channel needs more subs!

[@shaneperry5234]

So many awesome recorders out there... the real stars in this though is the Rode and Sennheiser microphone... I use a much smaller recorder with a wired Lav mic and it's clean as can be and it still allows me to have the multiple tracks and sync in post. Something I picked up for weddings.

[@rynfilms]

What recorder are you using?

[@shaneperry5234]

@@rynfilms Some Cheap Chinese things from Amazon... cost about $20 a piece .... put some Rode Lav mics and works well, I was really just looking for something to get quick and cheap as "back up" audio but it turned out to be the right fit. I didn't think I would do enough weddings to upgrade and just never really saw the need to.

[@markhamreguitar]

Thanks so much. Very helpful and informative.

[@razfilmstv]

and the Rode wireless Go records the audio for even another back up. Good video

[@projecthowto]

Even the h1n sounds better than the recording on r5 In both cases using the RODE film maker. The only annoying thing is syncing the audio

[@KaiTiura]

You are using the snap, or clap, method to have a loud sound to synch by?

[@rynfilms]

I find that the auto sync in Premiere does a really good job most of the time. It could be harder in other programs.

[@unofsnd]

"You don't need a better camera!" Same guy: blurring the background with a 1.4 prime lens. 😂

[@kadeemcreates]

He said camera. Not a lens….

[@WildHorseProductions]

Could I ask what lac mic you use? I have the h4n and the rode wireless go and the audio seems muffed with the rode lav+

[@rynfilms]

I don't know the exact one, but it's the one that comes with the Rodelink kit.

[@bossnian5615]

Dope and funny video ryan just wish youd keep it shorter. Best of luck

[@rynfilms]

Yeah, sometimes it's hard to keep it short. Just watch me at 2x speed! 😆

[@mikhailchurakov]

Nice

[@rynfilms]

Thanks! 👍

[@photomaster1]

I love Tascam...

[@rynfilms]

I just wish it had a more intuitive interface, and didn't feel like a cheap plastic toy. 🤷‍♂️

[@The_Matrix_I_Am]

"not literally a cat" lol.
