Zoom H4n Pro Unboxing | Review | Setup | Recording Tutorial - The Must Have Audio Recorder!

[@bpvirgo]

Dude. This is OUTSTANDING. Just what the regular user needs to learn - clearly, attractively and succinctly. I AM VERY GRATEFUL. [And I needed the help - have recorded TWO interviews with Zoom H4N when I've not pressed Record that second time. TWO. On one I had to take audio from a CAMERA and a dodgy lavalier that happened to be plugged into something else, the other was just LOST.] SUBSCRIBED, and thank you.

[@TheChessGiant]

Hey brotha do you have another KZbin channel! The way this is edited and shot (plus your understanding of tech) makes me think you've created a ton of videos. Great work super helpful!

[@DavidDavis-kh5sb]

This was the most informative video on the H4n that I've seen so far. Well done too! Thanks for posting.

[@salinahobbes6464]

Dang dude! This was quite the quality video! Starting off your channel with a bang!

[@goldenpager7718]

Thanks! means a lot! I wish i had more free time to work on the channel but work has been very busy lately and I have not had a chance to even sit down to work on anything new :/ Hopefully soon!

[@Kinobambino]

@@goldenpager7718 it's ok. I subscribed when you'll be back I'll be here

[@KTHKUHNKK]

@@goldenpager7718 Hey my friend how are you ? I have the h4n zoom pro as well. One thing I noticed and correct me if I'm wrong On the back under the battery cover is the switch for stamina mode etc. I find that certain adjustments cannot be made in stamina mode. Other settings can only be made in the opposite mode do you find that to be true ? Keith

[@bobbreit5244]

I just got the H4n Pro two hours ago. Ordered some accessories from Sweetwater and watched your vid. Thanks for the info. Well done. Even an OG like me can track with that. 🖖👍

[@tanyahansentherapy]

Thank you so much for this tutorial - I learned more in this short video after struggling for a couple of hours with the user guide and a few other videos - I am now recording and am pleasantly surprised how easy this was when I was getting to the point of feeling like I was never going to figure this out - thank you so so much!!

[@sumantra7462]

Thanks for your quick & crisp informative video on this piece. It was very helpful.

[@mnguyen7825]

This is the BEST instructional video I've ever seen. Thank you.

[@kylehislipstudio3280]

No messin' around here. Right to the point. Terrific demo! Thanks from your new subscriber!

[@xATown23xGaming]

Looking into getting a Zoom recorder for intros and outs on my channel, and my god was this video amazing! To the point, no unnecessary dialogue, just right to the meat and potatoes! Awesome job.

[@goldenpager7718]

if you have a mac, do yourself a favor and edit your vocals in audacity, it's free and you can really make add that extra pop to the vocals for narrating and overdubbing! There are a few good tutorials on youtube about audacity vocal editing, it is quick and easy also, but really makes the vocals shine

[@FutureFilmMakersMakeItHappen]

I think this video is just was I needed! Thank you! Just subbed my friend!

[@JonathanRocher]

This was perfect, tight, clear and covered the main points to get started. Thank you!

[@henryssurfshowcase]

Good to see what was in the box. i still have my H4N, and way back then they gave you, Power Supply, Windscreen, and Mic stick holder. Apparently not anymore?..

[@BillBene67]

Really great video. I just purchased one of these. Thanks for the tips~

[@EastPilbaraWeather]

Thanks, I use a drone around thunderstorms and haven’t quite been satisfied with sound simultaneously recorded by a DSLR, just bought this and hoping to trial in the next 12 months. Will be using this vid to learn how to use it.

[@kittymars]

Straight to the point. Thanks !

[@NeonPixels81]

Damn, the all-black casing looks so sweet. I have the Pro in silver / graphite, and it looks good, but that matte black is just so smooth...

[@filmvaulttv]

Thanks for the review 💪🏿💪🏿 This video definitely helped us make the purchase.

[@goldenpager7718]

Glad I could help

[@blviking56]

Can you use the xy mics and the mic inputs at the same time?

[@geminidream4347]

Thank you for this video, I didn't get anything for software with mine though. I got it for Christmas 2022.

[@SpecialEffectsRecord]

Omg -I wanted to see how to speed up,start up thank you!

[@cesar8ramirez]

Clear and well detailed broski. Thx just got mine yesterday and wasn’t sure how to activate my phantom mic

[@recordclassicalmusic]

Great video Gold Pager!

[@deftones3200]

You deserve more likes. Nice job!

[@jamiepaolinetti5087]

Thank you. I have a new model and under the record setting there is no option to choose the format. I can't find it anywhere. I need a wav file, but don't where to select that. The menu only shows Auto Rec and File Name??? Have you heard of this change? There is also no "Mode" choice at all, only "Play Mode". Thank you!

[@ТыМожешьВсё]

Great and informative video! Thank you! Like! 👍

[@br1ghteyes]

Excellent Video! Well explained 🔥

[@ДмитрийХохлов-с8в]

Thanks for the video! Can you please tell me - can I use it as a microphone for recording on a PC via an external AUDIENT ID4 MKII sound card? If I connect an external condenser microphone to it, then the recording will be on both the recorder's microphone and the connected external one - right?

[@MrMrbaim69]

Hi, great demo,straight foward, very informative, Please keep it up and by the way how much is the price H4n Pro ? Love to have this recorder. Thanks IM

[@Rafix-drummer]

Well done . A clear explanation. Excellent. Keep uploading videos On the functions of the ZOOM H4 device Thanks.

[@rodneysmart9774]

gobbles up batteries like crazy, get the DC power supply

[@outbacktom]

So straight forward and helpful, thank you!

[@savanaviolenta]

It takes 26 sec to boot up?Might opt for H6.

[@kantancoding]

This video is incredible.

[@goldenpager7718]

Cheers sir! Appreciate!

[@jamesdeininger3759]

How do I record direct-line mono? I only have a mono out from my PA. When I play back my recording, sound is only coming into the one headphone. I don’t plan to do any post-edits, so I’d like to get sound in both headphones straight from the recording. I guess I could buy a XLR split cable, but wanted to see if there was a way to change it from the Zoom.

[@martinadamcz]

I dont have MOD and quality option in Menu...why?😊

[@JaniceMarieSingleton]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@borganicliff598]

Can i charge he power and record the music at the same time?

[@KTHKUHNKK]

A very nice review simple and to the point

[@pan_tvofficialk9]

How Good is the battery life compare to the old one

[@f.fonseca]

Quick question. Can we record using the built in XY mic at the same time as the other 2 external mics?

[@satransitvideos]

26 seconds for a 16GB card to boot is the memory card as Class 10?

[@Sessions1]

How do I adjust mic # 2 level only lets me do #1

[@paulhorowitz5755]

A very GOOD and helpful video thank you !

[@rorys2798]

Awesome review!

[@goldenpager7718]

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Tabbyishere]

Hey I was wondering how is the battery life? Is it way too short?

[@calderbischoff9739]

Thank you so much! Great video

[@theanarthadocs543]

Thanks for the video. Can you please help me with some settings? I have very limited understanding of recording. I have a shure sm 58 and a zoom h4n. I only record voice overs on this set up. But there is too much white noise. Its so much that if i remove it in the post, the quality of the audio is also getting poor. Can you suggest any solution for this? Is there a setting that i can do to at least minimise the noise?

[@BurnieThompsonShow]

Perfect video. Thank you!!

[@markatkinson299]

Super well done. Thank you.

[@Dardjiskien]

Thank you very much!

[@sumantra7462]

Would love to have more information on other features in details ( especially every terms and their functions) of Zoom H4n black on your upcoming videos .

[@goldenpager7718]

I may squeeze another h4n pro video in soon. Right now I want to catch up on some dslr camera reviews first. Thanks for the nice words!

[@Rafix-drummer]

a question: If I want to connect 2 microphones to the device (not condensers) and i want record with four microphones. Should I choose the 4-channel option? Or stereo option? On the device. Thanks.

[@allhalegibson]

Is there a way to tell if you've got the 2016 version or the 2020?

[@JohnLe]

hi, if I want to record this from a speaker or a soundboard, I know that I will need an XLR or 1/4" cable. I saw reviews where I'll need some attenuators because of the overdrive from the mic. I saw most of those in the gray H4N though. Does this model still have that?

[@alpacacin0]

Thanks this was super helpful!

[@nikflix4889]

I have one of these but every time I start a new recording it over laps the previous take I did. Any suggestions on how to prevent/fix this?

[@goldenpager7718]

Sounds like you may have overdub mode on. Try looking for mode

[@PastorShayne]

Is the. 1/8” input stereo or trs? Does it run the 18” through the 2 channels related to the x/y ? I’m looking for 3 tracks at once is why I’m asking.

[@decentchakwal84tv]

How much

[@njbestvideo5977]

Well done.

[@j4nv]

Hi, thank you for this video. I'm looking for a minimal mobile performance setup: a groove box with a mic, then to be connected to a local amp or PA (let's say in a small bar). Would this work instead of a separate mic and a proper audio interface? If so, would there be a delay? I know it's not made for this purpose but I'm just looking for options. Many thanks!

[@director_mrnizefilms]

Good day sir Please my own record fine but it record 2 hrs and some minutes then save by him self to start again . Is there a way to set it to record more than 2 hours and to record till I decide to stop it ?

[@ebproduction2501]

No usb c ? I have the h6 recorder , benefit I can change the mic and input on top ...have wheels to set the gain . Don’t see any improvement and in end it looks like they put all in a new case and sell it as new with less possibilities

[@goldenpager7718]

I guess at this price point this is what we get.

[@jimgresham5529]

How do you play back that first recording ?

[@goldenpager7718]

@@jimgresham5529 after the recording is complete. Use the scroll wheel on the side to go back. Each recording is labeled. Just go back to the one you want and press play to listen.

[@owen4255]

great video! can i also use it as a computer mic to make voice/video calls? also with the built-in effects on such as the compression?

[@goldenpager7718]

yes you can: 1 Plug in your Zoom H4N to your computer via usb cable. 2 Use the menu scroller to scroll down to Audio I/F and select. 3 Scroll down to ‘Connect’ and select. 4 On your computer, select H4N from your microphone input preferences.

[@goldenpager7718]

it then could be used as the computer mic!

[@CinematicTouchProductions]

Thank you Gold Pager, I was looking at the line/headphone port and If I wanted to use this MIC to gauge my MOVO pro mini mic I could not it seems to me. I wanted to connect my MOVO VXR10 PRO to this H4n Pro then connect the H4n Pro to my smart phone but there is only one port on this H4n Pro, so there is no way to use this mic that way right?

[@kerrynewsome6443]

Really super presentation. Can you export the recording as mp3 or wav file to computer through USB? I don’t use my own editing program like audacity. I outsource that.

[@goldenpager7718]

Yes! The H4n will appear as an external hd- just drag and drop files. The h4n saves the type of file you recorded last as its default, so you can always change wav/mp3 as desired before starting new recordings. Cheers!

[@yusril2875]

anyone ever compare this to zoom h5?i confuse to chose the one between,i would to make asmr video and locate the recorder about 30-40cm from my mouth,any insight will help

Thanks for this

[@egoleathergoodsnc4770]

good video fam

[@Kinobambino]

Thankyou good sir 🙏

[@wgaule]

Is it just a voice recorder or can it be used to record instruments?

[@goldenpager7718]

you can record instruments

[@michael86734]

is it good for sound effects

[@goldenpager7718]

Yes, as long as the effects aren’t terribly soft or quite. Because there will be artifacts when you boost the gain that much.

[@goldenpager7718]

I’ve read there are better options for incredibly low dB recordings

[@noahlee6292]

I love this video

[@alvasalrey]

hey man excellent review i have a question for you when using the recorder as an audio interface can you use 2 mics?? if you can, can you get 2 tracks in the software (audacity, premiere, audition, etc) one for each mic id really appreciate it if you could respond, I've been using the H1n for a while now with a little lavalier in the office and as a field recorder when outside, but im finding the need more and more to use XLR mics and having the option of recording 2 mics at the same time straight to my PC while keeping the ability to have a field recorder would be a godsend ty and cheers

[@goldenpager7718]

Hi, thank you for the nice words. I actually don’t know. Currently I do not own 2 mics or more to test this out. I’ll do some research in the next few days and let you know what I find

[@ahmedalsammar1632]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@A1Bokeh]

Dang man are you no longer making videos

[@goldenpager7718]

Hey, just on break. Started working a lot to make some financial dreams come true, unfortunately less free time now. I’ll be back in a month or two. ✌️

Attention.. in MTR mode record only in 16/44.100

좋은 리뷰인디 구독자가 적구먼

[@user-gc6lf2ol1n]

you applied too much compression over your voice, this way your video is too loud and especially you bring up all the noise

[@sirnubenegra]

My dude. Your highs art too loud

[@ultimateinspirationguitar]

How did you get your voice to sound like those awful AI voices? Haha that's the only bad thing about this video

[@thunderdragon1111]

Brilliant- well thought out, thx for making it clear and concise.

[@stevenunez]

Can this be used as an onboard mic for a digital camera (like a shotgun mic)?

[@goldenpager7718]

it can, but without a shock mount it will pick up the vibrations of movement. Also, if you dont have stm or quite focusing lenses it will pick up noisy autofocus. There are smaller better options like the rode if this will be used on the fly.
