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.

[@WalterTonetto]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@BradM]

This is a literally perfect tutorial

[@grazia7179]

Those were my exact words too 👏

[@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.

[@TonyYouens]

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

[@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.

[@eventualinfinity3862]

clear, concise, and extremely helpful

[@Mitchell-vk4zy]

Extraordinarily helpful tutorial. Thanks!

[@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.

[@KominTater]

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

[@lethiaowens1048]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@mugulakikawa]

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

[@louisecportier]

Waoh that is one great tutorial, I've been using it for a while now but I finally feel like I have a better understanding of its functions and abilities, thank you!

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

[@PoetWithPace]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@NeilMcElmon]

Perfect step-by-step guide for getting started! Thank You!

[@tariqalkindi8045]

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

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.

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.

im getting a lot of background his, on stereo mode with a shure beta 58 vocal mike and a Sennhiser e 609 guitar amp mike. is there i'm doing wrong? I Mike cables are coiled tightly does that cause background noise?
