My man!
life saver! got a shoot in an hour and thanks for the fix with turning on mono!!
Hi !! Great Video ! Thanks ! … I have a crucial question :: Can I, make a 5.0 recording by having the built in microphones record in MS mode and using inputs 1 and 2 to record the Ls/Rs rear simultaneously ??
Basically, can the built in mics work in MS while in 4 track mode ?
Thank you ! Thank you !
Thank you so much Mr. Wills, you just saved my shoot tomorrow! I came up against this very problem and didn’t know what to do until I saw this video. THANK YOU!!! I’m subbing and friending you right now!
Gut gemachtes Video, sehr informativ. Hbe mir heute selbst das Zoom 4 gekauft. Prima, viellericht sollten Sie weitere Anwendungs-Videos zu diesem Thema ins Internet stellen.

I see People using this for there computer mic with the USB, but I want to know can I use the XLR for record on Logic Pro, like using channels 1 and 2 on the Zoom H4n will record on channels 1 and 2 on Logic?
THANKS!!!
huge help, thanks!
thanks for your help
I just want to make sure I know what the optimum settings are for recording our podcasts with the Zoom H4n (using two dynamic mics). Can you possibly advise on where I might be going wrong? I’d like to get it right before I record the next podcast!
Thanks for your time.
Our podcasts are a simple format: a ten minute sit-down interview (with one interviewer and one interviewee), so we don’t need to record anything fancy. All we need to do is make sure the recording is clear so that we can hear the voices!
Have I set the recorder on the wrong setting for this kind of recording? Used the wrong leads to connect the mics? As you’ve probably guessed, I’m very much an audio amateur, so I do apologise for these stupid questions and probably even stupider mistakes!
I had two Beyerdynamic M58 N(c) dynamic microphones attached to the Zoom H4n via two male to female balanced XLR leads (inserted into the two inputs at the bottom of the recorder) . I was recording the podcast in Stereo mode (with mono-mix selected), but the recording levels (set at the default 80) were REALLY low. The levels were barely registering. In a panic, I stupidly increased the recording level to about 100, but it’s left me with a really quite recording and really noticeable hiss.
One of those reasons is that we wanted a recording set-up in which our interviewer and interviewee both had their own microphone (until now, there’s just been one between them). The Zoom H4n seemed to offer this function, so it seemed like the best option.
I used the Zoom for the first time last week and was looking forward to hearing the results, but unfortunately our latest podcast hasn’t recorded very well (undoubtedly my fault – not the equipment!). I’m not sure where I’m going wrong? >>>
These H4N video guides are great! I wonder if you might be able to help me?
We’ve recently invested in a Zoom H4n at work to record our podcasts. For the past year, we’ve been recording our podcasts with an old Sony MZ-RH1 MiniDisc recorder and a single Beyerdynamic M58 N(c) dynamic microphone. This set-up – though rudimentary (and making use of whatever equipment we could lay our hands on!) – has actually produced perfectly good results for us, but we wanted to upgrade for various reasons >>>
Could I use the h4n to record my audio with my shotgun mic and then match it up with the video I shot when editing?
Thank you so much for all your help. I’m a novice and you explained things beautifully. I tried it and it worked perfectly. Thank you ever so much. I love being able to do things myself and have it actually work.
yes it is, dynamic mics don’t get affected by phantom power.
Hi David,
Is it possible to use a single dynamic on one channel and a 48v Phantom Powered Condenser on the other channel?
Thanks a bunch for your review of the H4n!

I have this device and i’m wondering if you can take a 4CH file and use it as a single track in the MTR mode. My Problem is this… i would like to use the multi mic feature to record drums, and then combine it with the other guitar/bass/vocal tracks i have recorded. Thanks.
What kind of mics are the built in mics? They sound better than the high dollar mics I plug into it.
how do i use it as a external mic for the ax 2000 camcorder.
yes
is the middle connection the charger?
