@@sladjj Because you can change the inputs from line or mic in. It works very well running to the DJ soundboard directly. I always keep a 1/4 to XLR cable and an XLR to XLR cable in the bag with me. Typically can go into the line out of the back of a DJ's speaker, or - through the soundboard directly (if you trust the DJ to run proper outs to your recorder) ...speaker is always a better option so you know what you're getting though!

[@RaphealPersaud]

I cannot wait to use this thing at a wedding! If I wasn't sold before, the audio level waveform zooming function sealed it for me. I know traditionally people like to stick to -12 to -6 decibels, but I often find myself just trying to find what 'sounds good', while trying to imagine what the waveform will look like.

[@fabimesizae]

It is my opinion that Zoom F3 and Tascam X8 are two different animals and consequently both useful for different reasons. The XLR combo of the Tascam X8 are extremely useful and the menu setting is also very detailed while the F3 is much smaller and simpler, switch on and record. I have the Tascam X8 and will also buy the F3. Thanks Matt. A hug

Thanks for the content. I tend to think this is for a very advance film maker who does know what they need. I have an F8N and a Mix Pre 6 ii plus an F6 etc etc. If you need two channels for run and gun and working alone, this is great.

[@paulshawbailey]

Definitely getting it. So small and compact for portability.

[@whoismatt]

So much smaller than your F6! :)

[@paulshawbailey]

@@whoismatt LOL so true!

[@jazzcornertv]

Great video. The reality is finding out that it could use a battery warning light. In dark venues it is hard to see what is taking place. With 2 mics plugged in your battery power is challenged. Could have added a back up battery power, 2 sd slots. Overall a very good investment especially if you are no expert. Glad i listened and bought. It is editable.

[@Kevlexicon]

this looks pretty cool and the price is right. fwiw, the zoom f6 is my favorite piece of filmmaking equipment. great for onemanband. 32bit float (never peaks), much much improved menu system, solid build quality, 96kHz, phantom power, 6 inputs, stereo/mono file grouping. set it and forget it. admittedly, coming from zoom h4n, the zoom f6 is a giant leap foward (32bit float, can +48v phantom power an mkh416, sony L-type batteries last 8hrs, 6 inputs,) but the satisfaction of bein able to record with my g4 lavs and mkh 416 boom as a safety, without having to worry about powering the mics, peaking, audio quality, battery life ....it jus dramatically improved my filmmaking quality of life. reallly glad products like these exist

Was thinking of grabbing the F2, now an F3 is out. Def would’ve been cool to have more inputs like 3.5mm line in.

[@EmoEmu]

I bought one of these. I'm a photographer first and foremost, so this was my FAST way into good audio. I'm hoping to not just photograph and film birds but also catch their songs. It's a 1-man operation so 1-button operation is amazing.

[@SquidlyFishBeans]

How did it work out for you?

[@EmoEmu]

I love it! I havn't gotten to use it as much as I'd have liked to, but it hasn't failed me so far.

[@teacherofteachers1239]

I don't have this myself, but perhaps I can suggest something for folks who are asking about its not having a 3.5mm lav mic input. If you already have a nice lav mic of that kind and want to use it with this device, you might want to read about the Rode adapters that let you plug a 3.5mm mic into an XLR input and convert phantom power down to plug-in power. (I tested one inserting a COS 11-D that has a Sennheiser-style plug into the XLR input on a device and it worked nicely.)

[@MichaelWTurner]

Really wish it had a combo input like my Tascam Dr40, but the 32-bit float is really appealing. Great battery life too. The DR40 gets like 2.5 hours

[@whoismatt]

It’s def better battery than 2.5 hours! 😂

[@dakid1102]

Thank you sir

[@MattSpaugh]

Another great video - you're so good at this. I have the F6 and sing its praises every chance I get. As an audio engineer with possibly more years of experience than you've been on the planet, I can say that nothing has changed audio recording like 32-bit float. I might take issue with your assertion that this is a 'beginner model' recorder. This thing smokes many much more expensive 'pro' recorders I've used. The only real shortcoming would possibly be the preamps, and that lack of combi-jacks. But none of that is said to take away from your overview. Keep up the great work. OH... and you can use those 'feet' to hang this on your belt. I use a stiff tactical belt. No more audio bag needed: run one channel to your boom, slap a Hollyland receiver in channel two for lav backup audio, done dealio.

[@whoismatt]

Thanks fellow Matt! Haha you’re right about beginner model, it’s definitely an advanced beginner model 😂 I’m was talking about it more in terms of ease of use which makes it harder for beginners to screw up.

[@joel.wuestehube]

I would Love something like a zoom h2 with onboard mics and 32bit recording. Maybe with one xlr and one 3.5mm Input. That would be a banger. Plus an internal battery that lasts actually a bit

[@fabimesizae]

[@echoestherapy]

It's really a mini Zoom F6!!! finally..

[@papsny]

Here's my experience when connecting audio to the main sound system or DJ: 1. Some DJs are douchebags and will max the audio leaving you with useless audio 2. Someone will go to an unmanned audio system and play around the knobs 3. Douchebag guests moves the dial on a Zoom H6 4. Some DJs disconnect or do not want any connection to their system So: -32 bit float helps when the DJ cranks up the audio -Always, always, always have a backup -Never rely on the main audio system for audio, mic up people as much as you can With the Zoom F3, you can hide it in a case and just leave the cable out, you also wont have to worry about audio peaking. You can connect it to a powerbank. Great video, thanks Matt!

[@sladjj]

Does it works well connected to a DJ mixer at a wedding? I've read somewhere that when connected to a DJ mixer the 32bit won't help much, is that right?

[@rMr.big13]

Hey matt, great videos. Have a question. After watching your review, I decided to buy the F3. Question is, since limited to only 2 inputs, are we able to use an xlr splitter, plug one into a dj console (with a quarter jack,if necessary) and the other side of the splitter to use with the deity timecode sync. In this case,the second xlr input will tied up it , say wireless go ii mics…thanks

[@sean-victoria]

I with they'd make a 32bit float version of the H2n... I just love the ambient audio I can capture with that device. Being able to put it down in front of musicians or singers and create great sounding audio without plugging into soundboards which may or may not exist is just such an easy way to work. Perhaps the X8 is for me, but it seems so large and clumsy

[@whoismatt]

Seeing as they’re slowly adding 32 bit float to recorders I’m sure they’ll have something similar to the h2n eventually

[@TylerLeeKenyon]

I know this comment is late, but you could just plug a couple condenser pencil mics directly into the F3 and it would function fairly similarly.

[@sean-victoria]

@@TylerLeeKenyon I did think about that, but I can't find mics that would plug in via XLR and allow the mic to pivot the angle, so I could set it up either X/Y config or A/B.

[@SeanRobbins.]

I finally made my decision!! I'll get the F3 to use as a self defense weapon and grab the X8 to record audio! lol thanks for a great review as always

[@whoismatt]

😂 perfect! Thanks!

Hi Matt. Can you go into more detail about hooking this up to a DJ speaker line out or a DJ mixer board. During the dinner music his volume is low and when he starts to announce or when the dancing begins the volume is high from his line-out both from the speaker out and board out. My question is, how important is it to set the F3 recorder to line in and set the audio graph before I start recording to have a nice, recorded level on the micro-SD card? Also why does Zoom have a mic and a line-in source menu setting on the recorder since it’s a 32bit recorder?

[@jamessmithfilms]

just remember 32bit won't work with many nle. it will work with adobe audition ( pay per month to use ) or izotope rx ( expensive) also, it won't help with the quality of the sound , you still need a good mic and the right placement of it

[@dezfyah]

What are you using to shoot this video? Its very clear!!!!

[@HikingWithCooper]

The audio does sound really good. What post effects (compressor, EQ) did you use? I think the baseball analogy is right. I read that it can record good levels to plus / minus over 700db which seems far fetched but who knows. Have you tried adapting to a lav and if so do you have a recommendation of a quality adapter?

[@bendrixbailey1430]

[@Pharesm]

I have a Zoom F2BT and an AudioDevices MixPre 6 II - this covers both ends of my needs. And I have Sony's new digital camera mic for direct-to camera recording. The Tascam looked interesting, but that also wasn't really something to replace what I already have... If someone does a tiny portable 32bit mixer the size of a QSC Touchmix, and without the need for 120-240V, I'll buy it! But with ww3 incoming I harbor no expectations other than freezing in a cave in nuclear winter...

[@jacobsnightmare1807]

Hey Matt! Great video. If you plug this directly into camera, do you still get all the functionality of this little beast? I'd rather not have to synch separate audio in post if possible. I will, of course, but if I get the same quality direct to camera, that would be my preference. Thank you!!

[@seaninherts]

Hi there. Not quite. You would not get the 32 bit float, however if you set levels fine, and your camera pre-amps as low as they will go, you’ll enjoy the sound. Never will it be as good as that recorded to the micro SD but it will be very good and if your audio is not hissing or popping - too quiet or loud, it’s fine. If it does, then you’ve hopefully pressed record too and have an insurance policy. Good luck.

Best review so far. One question that lingers: does changing the magnification level *before* starting a recording affect the volume of the .wav that is recorded and opened on a DAW?

Technically yes? When I opened the audio in audition the levels were louder, but then I could just bring them back down if needed. 32 bit is so flexible

[@flawnwilliams]

@@whoismatt According to the F3 manual: "Changing the magnification rate, even in the middle of recording, will not affect the recording level." It affects only the visual magnification and the monitoring level of the headphone and line outputs.

[@whoismatt]

@@flawnwilliams ah gotcha, maybe it just felt to me like it was louder 😂

[@toddwiseman1421]

@@flawnwilliams I noticed this too and was (and still am, a little) confused about this point. I did a test though, recording one file at 1x waveform amplification and the other at 128x. When I bring them into Audition after, they are clearly recorded at different levels. Now if I boost the gain on the nearly silent file and reduce the gain on the heavily clipped file, they sound really similar. But it seems to me that it does adjust some kind of recording level when you adjust the magnification level before recording. I'm not sure why the manual says it doesn't.
