Zoom H2n - Basic Operation

[@PatrickCawley]

Just a quick word of appreciation for a genuinely helpful video. The H2N seems easy to operate and perfect for interviews.

[@SteveLedger]

My left ear thanks you for this video.

[@Lexington101]

That's the left Chanel? I've had my headphones on backwards all this time, thank you!

0:28 Alternatively, you can also use the USB port to connect a battery power pack like the ones the people usually use for cellphones. When the power comes from the USB cable, the internal batteries are not used, but when the external power is switched off, the Zoom H2n _should_ automatically switch to the internal batteries, so with with two new batteries and an external power pack you should be able to make a continuous recording of more than a day.

[@DeeLaneArts]

amazing video! you covered everything I needed and did it in a well structured and clear manner! Really appreciate your time and effort

[@garrysmythe]

Thank you very much for this video ,I am a 67 year old idiot , who has decided to try and record my singing and guitar playing , curiosity lol, this has helped as I have just bought a zoom H2n ,thanks for posting , very good video, from Garry in the UK

[@barrowmeoct04]

Thank you. Have had Zoom for about 4 years but never exploited its features properly. This was really helpful.

[@ianbegaud8589]

Finally made sense! Thanks for being concise, straight to the point. Explained it in simple easy to understand language. Thanks heaps for this. Finally sorted it out.

[@zennabella1676]

THIS RECORDER IS A LOT MORE COMPLICATED THAN OTHER RECORDERS IVE USED. IM STILL STRUGGLING WITH THIS. SO FAR THIS MANS VIDEO IS THE BEST ONE IVE COME ACROSS SO FAR BUT I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PLAY WHEEL IS. IF I WAS DOING A VIDEO LIKE THIS, I WOULD TALK SLOW AND GO REAL SLOW, BUT THEN, IM OLD, SO IM PROBABLY SLOWER THAN MOST OTHER PPL.

[@davidokangba1842]

A Perfect Instruction in every way! Thank You for your time Sir, and for saving me an age wading through the manual. Much appreciated!

[@zennabella1676]

THIS SOUND RECORDER IS COMPLICATED AS I TOLD SOMEONE ELSE. I LL PROBABLY HAVE TO GO OVER THIS VIDEO AGAIN PLUS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS RECORDER IS JUST NOT STRAIGHT FORWARD LIKE OTHER VOICE RECORDERS I HAVE HERE WHERE YOU CAN JUST SEE THE PLAY AND RECORD BUTTON AND PRESS THEM ON AND OFF.

[@ShoeHefner757]

This was the most informative video for novices like myself. Thanks, man.

[@chimneychuck]

This looks like a good operational video . Being old, I'm not too familiar with anything digital, so this tutorial looks perfect for me. I will check you out later, when I figure out how to get the battery cover off.

[@aarongardiner3561]

It has been used several times and loved.

[@calmwaterside]

정말 감사합니다~!! 당신의 노고 덕분에 큰 도움을 받았습니다~

[@thisaintmyrealname1]

Very straightforward, and I appreciate the use-case recommendations. Thank you.

[@losdiazencuarentena7258]

thanks for the video, very helpfull, , what is the recomended record mode for a podcast? for 2 or 3 people

[@whitnells]

Great. Thanks. Clear. Straightforward. Concise. Confidence building.

[@InnerSpiritPhotographyCalgary]

fantastic walk through, clear and helpful. ideal

[@AdamfFranka]

Great video, thanks from my left ear 👂

[@ricardo.schaefermeier]

What software do you recommend?

[@DanielStephenTurner]

Thanks! Really helpful.

[@javiers.996]

If you connect it with USB, do you need to leave the batteries connected still?.

[@simonwatson9730]

Really helpful video. Thanks

[@Reflektorx]

I got a question: Is the audio for this video recorded with the H2N?

[@AAbdii_1128]

This is an amazing video. Thank you so much.

[@meftahe3]

Does the line out quality remain the same? I wanna use it like a microphone into the zoom24 R

[@mrbeats9856]

only the left channel?

[@choipiano6948]

Very clear!!!!

[@djcity1]

What mode is best for POV recording with Binaural headphones?

[@OscarOrquera]

Thank you. Excellent contribution Greetings from Buenos Aires City, Argentina by Oscar Orquera, announcer.

[@Marcus_R]

Thanks for the video! Which microphone setting would you recommend for recording exhaust sounds with the h2n as an separate mivrophone while riding motorcycle? I'd wrap the h2n in foam and pack ist sturdy in a backpack or somewhere at the motorcycle.

[@davorinmestrovic1069]

Clear and useful. Thank's!

[@Merseyjuke]

When you have recorded an audio file and play it back, should you be able to hear it without being attached to the computer ? If so what is the sequence to hear a recording direct from an unattached H2n ?

[@rayanoliazadehmusic5792]

Thanks 🙏✨🌹

[@Rene_Davids]

Some time ago Zoom released a *new firmware version* (3.00). This adds a third recording mode to the existing X/Y and M/S modes: SPATIAL. This can be used for adding surround sound to 360° videos. The software can be downloaded here: www.zoom-na.com/products/field-video-recording/field-recording/zoom-h2n-handy-recorder#downloads

[@chuckhust749]

Do you know if this unit is suitable for capturing quality audio for amateur adult videos? Subjects would be about 4 feet away? I'm not very tech-savvy and am wondering if it will pick up the sound like the directional mic I use on my dslr or leave us sounding like we are too far away from the mic.

[@EmmaCownieArtBrynmill]

Nice clear video thanks

[@radicalred4u]

Great tutorial...thank you very much.

[@Steve91694]

Fantastic, thanx man!

[@YepYeniOSMANLI]

Can you connect a synthesizer to the line in?

[@Johnny100a]

Thanks, nice tutorial.

[@trickymicky7]

Once I press record it says waiting for signal and does not start recording, what am I doing wrong?

[@oluwaseunezekiel9594]

Thank you

[@finsamfinsam710]

Good job, thank you!!

[@Frankemand]

At least you can make sure that your own sound quality is ok....!!

[@Rene_Davids]

This sounds like a raw M/S recording.

[@lewissharpe3072]

Awesome...Thanks.

[@angelahartmier9018]

Why will it only record for a minute?

[@josenascimento6705]

If the computer has a card reader slot you don't need a USB cable. You can simply put the SD card on the computer and copy or transfer the files.

[@kreimer1756]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@donchuy4534]

My zoom doesn’t show the recording format option why?

[@danhutchinson8649]

What is a budden?

[@nordmende73]

Thanks!

[@AdisiLand]

Thank you!

[@sashazand1967]

thank youuuuuuu.

[@HanDrumsolo]

I get a lot more than 4 hours recording on a fresh set of batteries. one pair will usually last several practices

[@thomasusheriii971]

like 10+ hours

[@carot2003]

The menu system is old fashion and horrible to use but the microphones are amazing, I love mine, its great for loud gigs and also quiet acoustic..

[@izmar]

Thanks rice!

[@WillieBeard]

I can’t find the record buddon

[@markwilding3828]

big red dot, right under the screen

[@one-of-us9939]

Thx bro

[@Merseyjuke]

What am I doing wrong here ? . I record a file and it plays back immediately no problem, can be heard with or without earphones. Switch off. Switch back on . Attempt to playback. Go to Menu. then FILE MENU. , then FOLDER, then FILE. select audio file , press PLAY button in. N0 audio file plays - I get a screen which lists - INFORMATION, NORMALIZE, MARK LIST, STEREO ENCODE, DELETE, DELETE ALL, I have wasted hours trying to solve this problem. Also playback volume is set at 100 but can barely hear it without head phones. HELP !!!

[@SiOnTestait]

Have you solved the problem ?

[@Merseyjuke]

@@SiOnTestait Yes thanks but not impressed with this recorder.

[@SiOnTestait]

@@Merseyjuke ok, just bought it for my KZbin's videos, I will try next video...

[@JoyKnowles]

1:30 - File format & quality

[@JoyKnowles]

1:00 - Format SD Card

[@brodibarringer5016]

But, can only use a 32g sd, tascam 22wl can use a 128g sd..

[@LexanderStudio]

I tested it with 64GB micro SD and it works well. The downside is that Zoom startup takes long (more than a minute), but maybe the card is slow.

[@Lexington101]

If I'd like to turn the recorder on or off! Seriously!

[@nbdysfool3]

My menu button does nothing! Wtf

[@Robterdammer]

But it gets worse. I also have the Zoom H6 with accocoirs in a nice box. I have used it 6 times at most. I took it out for a production this week and it has become unusable and also unsellable. The entire soft plastic covering has dissolved and lies over it like a sticky layer of honey. When you grab it, you can hardly get the Zoom H6 off your hands. Of course I was not planning on telling that everywhere on the internet. But I did report it properly to Zoom headquarters in Europe. But they simply do not give you a response. So then I warn people everywhere on KZbin that Zoom makes rubbish.

[@Robterdammer]

Do not use the H2n. This bad device is very sensitive to contact noise. Even lightly touching the cable of your headphones sounds like a drum solo to your ears. When you put it on the table and someone taps against the table leg, you hear an African drum band come into the room ... Not recommended.

[@ricardo.schaefermeier]

Use a tripod and cable button. A table tripod or a normal one used for cameras

[@Robterdammer]

@@ricardo.schaefermeier LOL, I have about 36 different big and small tripods. Nothing works. It is a drama device. The only thing that works is to unplug all the cables during recording (or connect a system with a wireless headset to it). As for a tripod, the only solution is to hang it freely in the air, possibly on a tripod but with a very weak elastic band of 15 cm long so that every tap is absorbed by a weak yo-yo.

[@kinaost]

As an instruction you’re not showing good knowledge of sound recording when only recording in the left channel. Also, the H2n comes with two AA batteries, not as you say. Some of the other tips were good enough.
