How to use the Zoom H4N portable audio recorder

[@mockingbirdhillfarmspartag2362]

It's taken me 2 weeks to take it out of the box, but this video made me feel much more confident to learn more! Thank you!! I'm 67!

[@robertabailey1626]

you recorded this in 2016 but it literally saved my life today as I am trying to learn how to use the H4N I have now. Thank you!

[@rippinmiami8821]

Update. It’s 2023 and we still learning from this video:)

Got my H4n today, saw the size of the manual, audibly said "nope" and found this tutorial. Thank you for your service.

[@charlesjaipal7488]

Excellent video. No distracting background music. Just the instructions, clear and complete. This is the way it should be done.

[@faithkeiser3657]

I couldn't understand the Zoom H4N instructions from other videos, or the instructions were insufficient. This video, by contrast, tells me everything I need to know to understand what I'm doing, and get up and running using the H4N today. Thank you.

[@WalterTonetto]

*This is sooo good: clear, concise, well-thought out!* _How on earth can people give thumbs down to this???_

[@snaprockandpop]

good grief. In a monster sea of unhelpful confusing and badly executed tutorial videos its so refreshing to find something in a very different camp. Excellent content, superbly executed.

[@alaskanfrogman]

Finally, a professionally made "Tutorial Video," without the distracting and crappy background music so many amateur or novice video filmmakers like to use. Also, no crappy introduction that starts out with "Hey Guys," Or "Hey Everybody What's up? or, "hey guys what's," or some other useless introduction so many amateur video makers love to use. KZbin is saturated with so many filmmakers who do a combination of these things I find so annoying and distracting. For those reasons and more I have opted to quit watching many videos. Thank you for this well thought and presented presentation and tutorial video. It answered a lot of questions that I have about my H4N recorder that I've wondered about. I misplaced my owner's manual a while ago and haven't been able to find and study it. This video answered all my questions and concerns nicely.

[@kevingoins9858]

I thought I was the only one annoyed with the casual sloppiness of You Tubers when they speak to the audience. Completely agree with your point.

[@BradM]

This is a literally perfect tutorial

[@grazia7179]

Those were my exact words too 👏

[@dogaerbek]

Dude you have no idea how many garbage videos I had to go through to find this! Thank you for the very helpful tutorial!

[@eventualinfinity3862]

clear, concise, and extremely helpful

[@KominTater]

Thank you! Direct and to the point. Got me up and running in 8 minutes and 35 seconds. Much obliged!

[@TonyYouens]

Hadn’t used my H4N for ages and this was an excellent reminder.

[@QuebecoisSti]

Best guide for a new or forgot stuff user. It shows pretty much all what you need to get started. I have the H4n Pro newer gen but it's basically pretty much the samething. Awesome editing and explanations, thanks alot.

[@Mitchell-vk4zy]

Extraordinarily helpful tutorial. Thanks!

[@laurielyon7740]

Top notch tutorial. It’s how a ‘how to’ (read tutorial) should be offered. Every KZbin tutorial poster needs to tear a page for your book.

[@lethiaowens1048]

This video was so well done and was exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking time to record it.

[@ericvelado769]

Great explanation on the Zoom H4n. I recently started to use it more often but I was lost in some functions. This is a great guide in learning how to use it. I really appreciate the video.

[@andredeloach8068]

Thank you for this concise, well-planned overview of the H4n!

[@problempictures]

Thanks for this awesome video! The H4N will be used on a documentary shoot I'm doing with my class of 11-14yr olds this week. I feel super confident after this refresher

[@mugulakikawa]

Y’all saved my behind. Thank you for producing a professional masterpiece.

Recorded back in 2016 and I'm using this tutorial in 2019 after finding a freebie H4n and H1 in a box of random Studio gear I bought LOL. Thanks uploader! 🤜💯🤛

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the great tutorial!!!

[@PoetWithPace]

It is now 2020 and still found this useful. thank you!

[@subramanianc15]

Amazing. Thanks for making this video. Can this Zoom H4N be used for ASMR videos? or Do I need to connect any external microphone with this ? Thank you

[@Cognautics]

Excellent work, clear, no fluff, high quality. Thanks.

[@rachou5902]

Hello! Thank you for this tutorial. I tried to register an interview with 2 external microphones, using the STEREO mode but when I upload the tracks on Audacity for instance, I only have 1 track. I would like to know how I could get 2 separate tracks. Thank you in advance for your help. Rachel

[@vistagrandevillachurch6917]

I've watched several videos on the H4N. This is the best BY FAR! The only thing you didn't touch on was how to use this while plugged into a computer to shoot a video for KZbin.

[@Sharkim66]

Can the Zoom H4N also record video via a connected phone, like the Roland Go Mixer Pro can? Trrs?

[@laxmivenkatesh4]

"How to use the Zoom H4N portable Audio recorder" I have purchased this portable recorder. (HLR) 11th, Feb, 2020.Thanks. it is a very useful audio.

[@ErinManningfun]

Excellent, concise tutorial. It gets right to the point. The only critique I have is that you don't pronounce the "T" in button, and you mention the word button a lot.

[@FabricioAlves]

The best video that I saw. I watched more than 40. Congrats

[@DrAHMEDBADAWY-xw4jb]

Thank u for such illustrative talk , but I’m having important question If I’m doing some own songs which mode is best to obtain studio like effects , thnx alot

[@lizsandrosmarketingpodcast9879]

I love this, thank you so much. However, one question, if we are plugging two mics into the bottom to record my podcast partner and I, can you do that in Stereo? Manual seems to indicate we need to use MTR. Help?

[@KarimJovian]

This is the same for H4N Pro?

[@johannes.schaffer]

Yes - In case people are wondering

[@KTHKUHNKK]

I probably said it before but you have done a great great job on showing how to use the h4n zoom Keith

[@N3rdarific]

Outstanding! Thank you so much!!! I'm preparing as mine will arrive tomorrow and this video is so great!

[@tariqalkindi8045]

Thanks nice demo can i use it as karaoke suppose if there music in sd can i sing while recording?

[@BestofSFStandup]

Hi, great video! Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together!! Do you know if there is a remote mic adapter for the H4? Something I could plug into the "2" input that would connect to a remote mic placed elsewhere in the same room? Thanks, keep up the great vids!

[@noahknoxmarshall3001]

Very clear and extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@maxoot5508]

Hello! Do you know, can I record 2 different stereo channels from 2 ext mics (bottom 1 & 2 jacks) simultaneously? Thank you!

[@hannahjonah]

this is great. Now I have separate tracks for piano and vocals while recording live! Q: Can the zoom have different monitor levels while recording this setup in MTR mode? I have vocals on 1 and piano on 2. Input levels are fine now but I want the piano to be lower in my monitor and the vocals higher so I can hear myself sing without blasting the piano in my earphones.

[@danielpliszka8220]

If I record an instrument using a single microphone ONLY using channel 1, is it still in stereo? Will I be able to hear it in both the left and right ears in playback?

[@tomkent4656]

What is the input marked EXT MIC on the back of the unit intended for?

[@norwAySMR]

For connecting a separate microphone with a jack piece.

[@rosemarybolton853]

Why is the recording level on the right channel quite a bit lower than the left channel? That happens with me. It can peak on the left channel but be fine on the right channel.

[@Tofu1998]

Truly appreciate this tutorial. Thank you!

[@behmerbehm9021]

Can you record both your voice and digital piano at the same time?

Now figure a way for my Canon XA-30 or T5i to take my H4n PRO from pause to record and back to pause as I press the Record/Pause button on the camera. I have the Wired Remote for the H4n but need the H4n better synced with the Record/Pause of my camera as there many shots and lot the shots are very short. Any help out there PLZ.

I am curious does each recording have to saved like the tascam 4 track does or just turn on and hit record, I record a jam session it last about 3 to 4 hours, can I just hit record and stop it when done, or do I have to save the files. Thanks for any help

[@flyingstratobanez713]

I have now a buzzing sound in my H4n. It seems that it INSERTS time in the recording, because if I just delete the buzz almost the song recovers the natural tempo. Almost… I have to make some calculations to delete the exact time, and then correct the sound. It happens more and more often. Has anyone experienced something like that?
