Zoom H1 Handy Recorder Band Recording Sample

[@darksidehero]

That lady is still waiting to play sax today.

[@storm3380]

they hate her for some reason

[@intheblues]

haha she got as many solos as everyone else 😂

[@admiralking]

I want to record my kids' upcoming country music concert with better audio quality. When I searched for videos on KZbin, I was delighted to see that my favorite pedal reviewer had a recommendation. Thanks Shane!

[@ckjjclan]

Wow... that was fantastic. I was amazed that the DRY sound quality. Good foundation made for even better results when processed. Thx.

[@shartne]

That devise works perfectly it sounds great! Your solos sound cool I enjoyed them. I wanted to hear the sax girl solo too.

[@BigFuzzyLHG]

I use this for my demos. But you got to learn to use it well for great records. But, its really great!

[@garybohannon3640]

The young lady has practiced the sax and needs an opportunity to play...

[@GiantSFaithfuL]

It's a jam session. Get in where you fit in!

[@matheusleao2035]

Guitar player would never let her play. I don't blame. I've done the same hehe

[@lofilukelukoala8121]

@@GiantSFaithfuL or leave room for the others instead of making the whole jam about yourself (?)

[@carsgunsandguitars]

Just ordered mine, this video convinced me it's what I need - thank you!

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Nice demo though I kept waiting to hear the sax player and it just never happened lol

[@TimGreenGuitar]

Hi Shane, great video! I have a suggestion - could you please make audio comparisons the same volume? My brain is wired up to think that louder is better regardless of the tone or effect applied. Keeping things at the same volume would allow me to make more meaningful comparisons. Keep up the good work!

[@rigorhead01]

Wow! Sounds great! I'm looking for a good way to record my band. This looks like it.

[@mediaikonz]

That was fun! Good jamming.

[@sbroadbentphoto]

This sounded really good and well balanced. I made a video for my channel about how this can be used for multi track recording if anyone wants to check it out

[@EnriqueDuenas-kique]

This is great! I´ve been looking for a good recorder and your video convinced my of the H1. Great video and thanks; I´m suscribing to your channel!

[@sniggity]

Dude that sounded great !

[@elvispresleyglance]

Curious: where did you position the unit in relation to the band?

[@JasmineLajeunesse]

i have the same q

[@KreeahBand]

it is positioned where the camera is

[@valdivs_27]

Can u make a video on how to connect the recorder to the mixer? Want to know how to live record a live band with great sound. Thanks.

[@enzonipales]

Nice one sir! How did you place the H1 relative to the band? And on what gain level? Thanks!

[@rhykko77]

Great demo...... what is the overdrive you are using ?

[@beardbytes4332]

I had to double take and make sure Billy Sheehan wasn't doing a one off local jam! Great Video

[@StahlsBlues]

You sound great. Good recording quality too sir.

[@intheblues]

Gregory Stahl's Blues Thanks mate, much appreciated :-)

[@jooj_crickets]

where exactly did you put de recorder? great video by the way

[@intheblues]

its right on top of the camera. :-) Thanks mate.

[@SiriSvendberg]

Great video.

[@joevenezia1822]

Great video.....thanks! I have my Zoom H1 connected to a Canon Vixia HF R72 (mic input from Canon to Line Out on the Zoom) and used it this past weekend to record my band (rock/hard rock covers) live......I had to bring the Output level on the H1 all the way down to 15 and it was still occasionally hitting the "red line" (camera mic was low at 15-20)......I never thought to touch the input level on the H1 (DUH) but it was up around 50.....I am guessing by pushing that down to 35-40 would have resulted in not having to crank the output all the way down to 15??? Just seemed weird that it was that low......video came out great but audio did not sound as full as I would have expected.....thanks! And now I am thinking is it better to have higher Input/lower Output or vice versa?????

[@taurus3973]

Joe Venezia Depending on the camera, the line out of the Zoom is usually too hot for the mic-in on the camera. If you get an attenuator cable from Amazon (Sescom -35 dB attenuator, 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch), that takes care of the problem. Often, camera preamps are noisy, so it’s better to have lower gain on the camera. But you always want your record levels to max around -6 dB to get a healthy signal which also avoids distorting.

[@TomKaszuba]

Very helpful info. Thank you.

[@ACMan-Sports]

Great video and audio. I just ordered one. For dry how did you set the gain and volume

[@truthhurts79]

He ignored you 😂

[@DEADMEDIC]

Looks like the sax lady was mad

[@intheblues]

Michael Lopez nah she's just waiting for the parts in the verses etc. :)

[@darkglass5463]

She thinks the lead player sucks that's why lol

[@legendfpv]

rude

[@asgamenou6678]

@Kabbalahist, lol right? 4:09 "alright let's do this" ... 4:21 "nevermind, i'm just gonna lean on the wall for a while"

[@BoyAditya]

sweet!!! I'm impressed with the room recording with this recorder ... i wonder iw will work good on metal band (^^) LOL

[@phildoodler2199]

Question: This might sound stupid but if you plug this into your cam or dslr, will the recording be saved to two media cards. The H1 card and the camera card?

[@phildoodler2199]

Sam Clarkson never got a reply - so much for social media.

[@phildoodler2199]

Sam Clarkson Cheers for that. I kinda suspected that was the case but was looking for confirmation. Thanks again.

[@kushwantsingh3330]

Nope, u are a idiot.....it works as as an input audi mic

[@taurus3973]

Just happened to view this vid and saw your question. The answer is yes, normally one would record both on the Zoom and the DSLR, creating two recordings. The Zoom version is going to be at a higher resolution, but you might decide that the DSLR version is close enough that you can use it and avoid the hassles of syncing afterward. Also, if you’re using the Zoom version, and manually syncing it to the video afterward, having the camera version makes it easier to line up the 2 audio versions and synch more quickly and accurately.

[@Yt5hdf5g5g5g]

Can we connect mixers through that line in??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@DoyleneFamily]

Where do you put the recorder is it close to a monitor speaker? Where is best place to put it in a live band perfomance?

[@intheblues]

Somewhere you can hear everything. I liked to put it back so it gets a mix of the entire mix

[@DoyleneFamily]

@@intheblues thanks!

[@USAlien234]

Do you happen to know what bit rate you used to record woth the Zoom ?

[@claudecivarejao]

Great record quality! Does the dry recording have some noise reduction, normalization, etc? My H1 always record some static constant noise, and I have to remove it via software. Is ithis normal? Thanks.

[@warmuser5550]

I can't se where you positionate the Zoom H1 recorder. Anyway, what do you suggest me to get a great sound? In which point should I place my recorder? Frontally? How much meters from the members when we playing the instruments? Thanks

[@mrkb34]

how did you set the recording level for this application? auto, or manual? if manual, how did you determine the level?

[@cursedsound]

Mark Broadway Always manual never use auto. set the levels as high as you can untill you start seeing the db meter move while there is no sound and then do a sound test if its peeking just decrease the volume a bit

[@callejr.9944]

Is it possible to record a sample from a pc/ mac on (as an example youtube), with the zoom H1 and then put into ableton live as a file, to get a better quality of the sample??

[@NiharikaAgarwal]

Omg such great music..omg

[@9418matthew]

playing through the Mustang right? sounds good!

[@NetvoTV]

Zoom h1 or h2n for one time inverts and budget friendly too? Thanks!

[@StriderX04]

So was all the audio captured by that h1n? Were you also recording through that Rode mic on the camera?

[@Joseph124269]

Where do you place the Zoom when recording?

[@anilyazar_]

can you give me your zoom h1 settings?

[@andrescen7577]

So you can put the WAV file through an audio software program and EQ it afterwards?

[@eddiehannemann7195]

yes

[@secretjourney4815]

Lady standing there like "WT $%&@" ! lol

[@PhenA8524]

How well does this device pick up vocals? I have heard some recordings from other devices that can pick up the music quite well, but the vocals sound like they are inside of a tin can.

[@sudhirsingh2937]

Hi, Can you please tell me how to connect ZoomH1n and Boya BY M1 lav mic to my smartphone so that I can record Audio and Video in together? No post-production hassle.

[@lucasmateucci]

great sounding! where do you recommend to place the H1 in a Studio room for recording a band reharsal?

[@nodaysback1]

not near the drums...

[@VixoMoya]

fav video

[@dbcooper658]

Sounds good but you needed to get parts of the sax and vocals to be able to hear that as well for perspective

[@larrytam2869]

Suitable for music concert? Thanks!

[@Jayquiroz3928]

Distance from the stage to the recorder?

[@AgoraphobicNews]

how much memory you need for 1 hour of sound in wav?

[@FinalManaTrigger]

I know this is way late, but for reference I can get 3 hours, 46 minutes of audio in .wav format at 24bit 96kHz (highest quality) on my 8GB micro SD. If you went down to CD quality you could get over 12 hours! So for a full hour at highest quality you'd definitely want at least a 4GB card. The 2GB card it came with doesn't quite get you a full hour of 24/96.

[@bunnybook6590]

That’s one hell of a guitar player...

[@chromakey77]

Hi, can i ask where the recorder was placed? Just where the camera is? Thanks

[@LiquidSnake1988]

Does this record better at an event? Like I want to record someone public speaking.

[@intheblues]

It’s a stereo mic so it depends on where you stand and how good the PA system is.

[@dmytro.shevtsov]

Is Zoom H1N a good option for recording guitar pedal demos (taking the sound off a 1x12 tube amp)? Thanks in advance!

[@whcchief]

Would this work well for a live concert (Billy Joel) specifically and a few other major artists? Or do you think something cheaper would work well too?

[@intheblues]

+Chris Conway It'll record an honest representation of what you're hearing but if the mix is bad, the recording is bad. If the mix is great, the recording is great. If you're hearing a lot of echo then the recording will hear that too. Hope this helps :)

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Why an H1? Why not a Zoom H2, H4 ... etc.? Do they not get better as you progress? I'm talking for studio recording, more than live.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

A year later ... _H E L P !_

[@baconfromhell666]

How much record time do you get from your 32 gb?

[@larrytam2869]

May I ask how much is it ? Thanks!

[@cursedsound]

Larry Tam around 100$

[@davmeg]

Hey, do you know if I can use this unit to connect to the output of my PA system to record what I'm playing through there? It's just digital piano and vocals, but it would mean I can get the levels and reverb sorted on the PA system and record as is... Would it work? Thanks :)

[@SamuellaMusic]

+David Meghnagi Depending on your desk's available outputs, you may have a mini 3.5mm stereo out which would be perfect as the H1's mic input is a mini-jack. All you would need is a stereo aux cable and you'll catch all the PA signal. Alternatively; the H4n model would provide you with a 2 track balanced XLR interface meaning you can plug in one ambient room mic (for the room's acoustics or to pick up those non-mic'd up guitar amps) and one from your mixer's output. For just piano and guitar through a PA, the H1 would be more than adequate - and at almost half the price of the H4n.

[@davmeg]

Sam Hansen thanks. I bought one in the end to test it (can always return if no good). It does pick up the signal but it's not really doing the job - the quality is pretty bad and it seems to pick up weird noises from somewhere. Recording quality just using the inbuilt mics is really good though, so may just record from my speakers directly on to the device. Thanks for your advice.

[@zatoichiable]

Can it record stereo line into h1 from mixer stereo buss?

[@intheblues]

Zatoichiable Yes it can providing you have the right cable going into the unit.. :-)

[@guyguyguyjean]

Can you plug it into an android phone and use it for a mike and use the phone for the video recording??

[@CountSnaqula]

guyguyguyjean most likely, there is a line in. Just sync up the audio and video in post production

[@victorhernandez5149]

How does it sound for metal??

[@intheblues]

It records anything you want to use it for.

[@akashdhar5871]

which camera did you use?

[@tomasviking]

what kind a setting for band recording, be the best? anyone?

[@intheblues]

+Tomasz Derwich Put it in the centre of the room if possible (or as close to as you can) for a balanced sound. Just turn the gain down so it doesn't even come close to clipping and then you can re-adjust the volume in an Audio program. I run mine so at the maximum it's hitting -6dB

[@elliscrloplnzla2454]

where did you put the zoom h1?

[@MattZim101]

Ellis Carlo Palenzuela on top of the camera

[@JoeSzilagy]

At 2:30, I think she's a little peeved, waiting her turn to solo!

[@johnvicdeleon9185]

H1 is good but the playing is way better!!!!!

[@PAULsteki]

Hi, thanks for that can I ask where was the recorder placed?

[@intheblues]

on top of the video camera :-)

[@michaelb.42112]

The sax player tells her friends she's in a band. Twist - She doesn't know how to play, but that's OK, they don't let her. At least she can say she's in a band.

[@singerreid4624]

Why every guitar player wanna be a rock star thier solos are so rushed, poor lady on the sax feels so left out😔
