Zoom H4n Tutorial - QuickStart Guide: How to Create Your First Recording

[@MrOCPR]

The tutorial playlist ROCKED! Short, sweet & concise! Thank you so much.

[@pkpckls]

Thank you so much for this video! I bought my H4n nearly ten years ago and stuffed it in a drawer, I've finally got it out to start recording the sound of the trees near where I live and of course have lost all the documentation; your video got me back up to speed so quickly! Thank you :)

[@jakewestberg8540]

This is one of the most straight-forward, and helpful tutorial videos I think I've ever seen. Thank you!

[@sorendefre1674]

All your H4n tutorials are absolutely brilliant!!! I have learned so much from watching them.I cannot thank you enough for sharing these.BRILLIANT!!!

[@paulstevens2839]

I've had this nifty unit since December 1, 2016. Its way better than my old Tascam DR-05. I am now going through my old analog recordings on cassette tape and digitizing them with the h4n pro. All you do is run an audio cable from my stereo systems headphone jack to the Zoom input jack for external stereo mic on the bottom. Sounds crystal clear with the H4N pro!

[@martyavalon]

Clear and concise cant fault you, get my H4n Pro this week and thanks to you I don't need to read the info, I can get started right away.

[@mrj335]

Thats a nice looking engagement ring!! Very useful tutorial. Thanks

[@m0bob]

Thank you for the instructional video, it is very helpful. I am waiting for the H4N to arrive in the post. My intention is to record birdsong near where I live. I have also ordered a Senheisser K6 & ME66 to go with it.

[@1madcats]

Great vid!! had my H4N for years and never knew about the flickering mic light for clipping. Thank you

[@jacquelinepaul9731]

Very interesting and explained well..can I ask what recording level would you suggest for singing please ?

Thank you so much these videos! I just bought this mic and have no idea how to use it.

[@sfernando1]

nice one. Do you do a tutorial for the earlier model too. And other products, like Yamaha keyboards?

[@MagnumDB]

Looks like a Gameboy, but I went ahead and got one myself. The 2015 version. Not sure what differences there are between the 2015 and 2009 version.

[@KhawaJong]

thanks for the good video. what is the best level number to use in input with DJ mixer? some one said 80. but i am not sure

[@She_Nanigans]

Thank you! You made my life so much easier.

[@velocityreosinc1223]

This video was so helpful. Perfectly explained and very well done.

[@str8tfromtexas]

Will you do a tutorial on how to record iphone calls with the Zoom H4n for podcasts?

[@FergbyFive]

Brilliant! Thank you. I was a bit spooked when my Zoom arrived. Your video helped heaps. Easy when you know how! :)

[@StasiekBachledaCurus]

love your voice and thanks for your basic instruction

[@JoaquinLomeliJr]

*I HAVE A QUESTION* can you record in MP3 instead of WAV format?

[@leandroneves3604]

Simple language and instruction. Thanks for your time. It helped me a lot!

[@RatndharaMusics]

Madam . Is this device useful for mixing the voice with an auto tune effect as studio recordings ??

[@dinoatcharterdotnet]

What's the best way to set up the H4N outdoors? I am having a small speaking event (one person at a time) and was thinking of propping this up in front of them on a tripod with a windscreen to record their speeches. Would that work?

[@ov522]

Thank you! Very simple and professional explanation!

[@Sharkim66]

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

[@ReverendGuyWallis]

Great video! Explained everything I wanted to know, thanks

[@nirali1081]

Best simplest thorough video

[@dongala9]

Did you do video about external microphones?

[@mariocomeq1961]

What do you think about H4n using it to regestering lessona in high school at distance fromm 4 - 6 meters from the teacher without using an extra mic?. Thanks.

[@sedonafrancis5076]

How do I record on the H4N with two XLR mice simultaneously on two separate tracks?

[@castillelarkin]

Thanks so much! This detailed tutorial really helped

[@TonyYouens]

Excellent. Very well explained. Thank you.

[@ronaldwolf2599]

Great video. Thanks for taking time to provide.

[@ingrirtc]

Mine doesn't have "mode select" in the menu. And I only get sound on one ear when recording in Stereo. Any clue why this is happening? There's hardly any movement on the left input? It's always been like this and that's why I've hardly used it. Is it broken or can I fix it with adjusting settings?

[@nataliaslepokur3005]

So happy I found this video. thanks!!

[@davidspears1770]

Thank you very much for your helpful video.

[@Terryjr]

Excellent execution of the pertinent info, thanks 😀!

[@Realchubbeemane]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much!

[@geovanemariano2349]

[@mikeswanigan4350]

Very helpful. Nicely done!

[@natserog]

thanks!! I need a recorder that has XLR inputs from a mic. Does zoom make a less expensive recorder that has XLR inputs and same quality. I just need to record from one mic to recorder.

Can the "Academy" please teach us to use the complicated menu?

[@ChankMcGeees]

Is there a way at all to time code the zoom with a camera (panasonic gh4)

[@MiradaCarmelita_MC]

hi I was wondering if you plug the zoom 4 direct to the camera. does the sound come together with the video?

[@dyno101jkhehe6]

Opened it up it comes up with usb gives options for storage and connect not sure what to do ?

[@brendawilliams3802]

where did you get the power cord?

[@DarrenGWhite]

THANK YOU! I couldn't figure this out with the manual.

[@geovanemariano2349]

Good evening! Friend I have this machine at home one year and never had a need to use it I am now dazzling one month = rcado work, I am videographer video editor using various programs mto minhasa issues when I have some musicians friends and would like to use this device directly in the box where are connected instruments and and the singer's voice from me an explanation there is no way I connect the stereo or the name and data. Thanks in advance.

[@projetoaula10]

One question: Have you tried record directly from H4n mics? Are they good? How far can I be from the mics?

[@kgeorgethomas8282]

Thank you. A useful presentation. Thomas

[@moose6662]

This video helped a lot thanks

[@rvjayoung]

Can you use the USB cable to download from the H4N to your computer, or do you have to use the SD card by itself? My laptop doesn't have a slot for the SD card.

[@jamielissowNotForTV]

+Dylan Joseph Young If you plug your H4N into your laptop via the USB, your Zoom will act as the SD Card slot and you can access the files on your computer.

[@rvjayoung]

Great thanks! I assumed that but wasn't sure.

[@ismaelvelez4407]

Hi. What is the largest capacity of the SD card that can be connected to the ZOOM H4N?

[@vijaykarthickhere]

32GB

[@ismaelvelez4407]

Vijay Karthick thanks.

[@ismaelvelez4407]

When I get to Puerto Rico I will look for a card.

[@rollinspublicity8461]

Such a helpful video! So awesome!

[@brendawilliams3802]

What happens when you don't have mode. I have play mode and it does not lead to whereyou are going..Its strange because we have the same recorder. H4n. I don't understand.

[@jixxxxer17]

does this record 4 independent tracks too ? I read somewhere it's 4 symultaneously which I'm not sure what that means or works , anyone know about how the 4 track mode works ?

[@Ghufranbasit]

+ASMR Academy I need your urgent help. I recorded my voice on default setting by different mics one by one. But I can still hear background noise & ambiance. Please recommend me that how I can produce a clear recording like you for indoor and outdoor recording and which type of mic should I use?

[@benedictebg2748]

[@rychubil]

Thank you for your well explained and very informative tutorial - Great Job! Another thing, I love your voice tone which make me peaceful. You could be a good therapist I believe.

[@VBentertainer]

[@TobasscoJelly]

very helpful - thanks alot

[@pputnam100]

My goodness you may have just changed my life..!! I found my h4n so difficult to use that it's been sitting in a box for over two years. By coincidence I was going to pay someone to give me tutorials on it, hoping that if we could do one vocal 4 track recording , one time, that I might b e able to do it on my own afterwards/yes, you're right, I'm a dullard in terms of tech, but I NEED to make little vocal, mostly acappella recordings. So, that said, where are these other videos you've done that others on here have mentioned- 4 track is what I'm looking for. Please put me in the right direction, thanks so much, pete

[@meredithwheeler6752]

I went to the Zoom page for approved SD cards--but it says Page Not Found. :-(

[@TonyYouens]

Me too. I just ordered a 32gb from Amazon.
