If you're thinking about purchasing the free to use sounds library, I highly recommend it after purchasing it for my own projects. Clean recordings, a lot of variety and it's good to support indie's.
Thank you Andrew for all your support!
Never realized how much work and passion goes into the sound design of all the media we consume till I came across your channel. It’s honestly beautiful. Love the work you’re doing here!
Thank you so much for your comment and we're glad you found our channel.
Came for the Zoom H1N, amazed by the color grading, looks so cinematic. You should do a video about that also, would love to know how to do that :)
I’ve been to several of the locations you featured in the video and I think your sounds brought back memories of Bangkok more than seeing pictures or video. It’s wonderful what we can do now with the most ‘basic’ tools.
Thank you Jason! We are going to more places but if you can recommend some hidden spots, please let me know :)
Got to give a shout out to Libby for that filming. Can't let Marcel steal all the thunder :o) Best video yet I think. Really nice vibe to it.
Thanks so much and for always showing up!!! We had a lot of fun making this one. :) - Libby
Nice work Libby and Marcel. This a a great illustration of how skill trumps expensive equipment.
Hi Jerry, thank you so much and you are so right about that.
Just 1 day since I asked you about the Zoom h1n on IG and you upload a video about it. You're great!!!!👏👏👏 Thanks for the information
Ah yes :) Glad you found it! :)
Was looking for examples of fieldrecordings in general, the Zoom H1N in particular. Ended up finding this awesome video with sounds from my favourite country, Thailand!
Awesome, thank you!
Your channel is soooo underrated! You should be getting millions of views! On each video! Great work! & thank you for your hard work !
Hi from Bangkok, the section of Chinatown is so amazing 🤩. I just found your channel and also the sound recording. Very interesting and thank you for your great works.
Thank you! Tomorrow we have another video from Bangkok :)
I feel like my h1n recordings are never this clean! Love your work!
I’m sure they are. Just make sure you don’t use the gain knob and push it to high.
@@FreeToUseSounds thank you so much! Love this video!!
I’ve been following you guys travel the world for years now, overly jealous but thankful!
Best foley out there..
Keep up the good work and thanks!
We don’t have many releases out there that don’t include an FTU sample in some form or another.
Ah thank you so much! So cool to hear that :)
I’ve had the Zoom H1 for so long. Also own the H4n which is my primary recorder.
I always like audio editing and feel it so rewarding with the right audio
So true!
Wonderful field recordings and advice, as usual. And, Libby, the video editing and shots are superb and cinematic. Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the nice comment!
I’ve been always fascinated by nature sounds and been searching for a great affordable sound recorder until Zoom h1n seems to fit my work as a new RUclipsr. Thank you for this review of H1n really helped to understand this device. Subscribed to appreciate your great creativity.
Thank you so much Mary! We hope you enjoy the Zoom H1n!
@@FreeToUseSounds Having passion is absolutely true
Very helpful video ! Well over a year ago I've been watching videos of a guy who is hiking and camping in the wild places, his adventures was one thing but the quality of sounds of nature in his videos was something what really made me watching his work with real pleasure. Since then I became very passionate about field recording, however after finding out what equipement he is using I though... well... maybe one day... recorders, microphones and all equipement worth thousands of dollars/pounds. While doing my research I found your channel and been following since.
Few days ago after watching couple times some of your latest videos I finally decided to order my first recorder - Zoom H1N, I am very excited to get into my new hobby and I have to say it wouldn't happen without your excellent content !! Thank you !
PS. Videography on your channel is now at the same high standard and quality as sound effects you are recording ;)
All the best !
So glad you decided to buy a recorder and start your field recording journey! :) Thank you for watching and more videos are coming soon?
how's that coming? I'm thinking of buying one myself
Excelling rec tips
The cat must have thinked: What f.... he's doing? Very nice test! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you! This video really motivates me to give it a try and put my H1N to good use. A hug from Costa Rica!
Nice!! Wow you're in Costa Rica! I recorded the howler monkeys there. You have access to so many great nature sounds. Go out and record them :)
Superb frequency measurement, I'm considering whether to use this recorder to capture sound, I think it's fantastic, thanks! 💯👍🙏
I have just started my soundscape library brother thankx for inspiring
I love this!! Thank you for this video! About to go ahead and purchase one now!!!
wow you came to Bangkok
i live in Bangkok
just found your channel and subscribe
Ah that’s awesome! We make more videos about BKK!
@@FreeToUseSounds cool! that's great i can learn from your videos by the same place as you go.
You always surprise me. I have the same tripod and never realised until I saw your video that it also acts as a boom. As Homer would say "DOH!"
Nicely done
Thank you.
fantastic and inspiring video, Great explanation of your recording techniques and methods! Well done, Really liked your use of the nanopole monopod
Thank you Michael...:) Its a great way how to make your own DIY boom pole :)
Hi Marcel and Libby! I use the suspension of the rycote also on the H1n zoom even if without it it is less cumbersome (handling noises are always annoying with these hand recorders). At 11:14 you risked roasting the windjammer with the blaze. Beautiful scenarios in Bangkok
Yeah I left the handheld grip in the US. It didn't made the cut :)
Welcome Thailand, Thank you very much for testing the mic Zoom H1n.
Thank you! :)
You make capturing sound so much fun, thank you for sharing!
Because it is fun :) Thank you Leo!
so cool, I was missing this kind of videos... it makes me want to go out and record...
Don't wait. Sounds waiting for you to be recorded :)
I really like watching/listening to yours videos. I watched this on TV and the footage was really nice, good job Libby(don't know whether you used new camera/lens/color grading, but for me it was like watching promo video in some shop store with tv's :)). Keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you so much and we still use the same camera but shooting in 4K now. Since we bought the M1, editing 4K footage is at ease. :)
Just got mine today and I’m very excited. Just need a deadcat!
Oh yes that’s important to have wind protection!
I like that I can take this as is as a simple setup...or since it has P.I.P power, I can plugin in some innexpensive Lom mics or EC272's for considerably higher quality recordings.
Excellent video. Extremely helpful. Thanks!
Glad to hear that!
Thank you for sharing the joy!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have this, its great and easy to use.
I've never owned an H1 myself, but I bought my dad one a few years ago just to have on hand and have used it a couple times.
I love it! If I was forced to carry a single device, the H1 might be my go-to.
Good choice but make sure you get wind protection too!
@@FreeToUseSounds worry not! I have plenty for the h6! 😉
@@scottleland403 Nice :)
This is amazing, thank you so much. I bought the H1 essential and trying to record things, quality is pretty decent but i'm having problems with handling noise, I'm monitoring sound through headphones and basically I need to stand completely still otherwise I can't tapping noise either from headphone cable or from the recorder's body. Any tips for that? Thank you so much again :)
Love this episode. The boom h1n sounds too good.
Thank you :)
great job !!! Thank you
Maybe my H1N is defective, but I have found it to be fairly noisy. I am generally recording quiet subjects in natural areas, such as birds in the distance or a gentle rain, but there is a noticeable preamp hiss anytime the gain gets over 5.
Mine has the same problem if it wasn't for that audible hiss the recordings would be usable.
It is a very cheap unit for what it potentially can do, so it might be down to luck, getting a fully working unit.
Gran video. Es impresionante ver los resultados de ese grabador zoom. Gracias por compartir
Thank you so much Rafa and that is why we wanted to make this video. Its a good recorder.
Great videos and your work is excellent. I hope you’re also selling your video, your B footage, as stock video because it’s really well done.
Thank you Sergio. No we don’t sell stock video footage. Thats not something we have an interest in.
Can you show us the settings you have set for these amazing recordings?
Hello, thank you for sharing. I recently purchased the H1n, but I'm still not familiar with adjusting the settings to capture nature sounds. Could you please share some tips on that?
Good stuff as always.
Thanks again!
hi there, really love your videos and been following your contents. I have a zoom h1n as well and i was wondering what settings to use to capture busy city sounds. your video sounds from h1n feels buttery smooth, but mine comes with static noise or something.
thanks
I reckon he's processed the recordings afterwards.
I purchased one of these two weeks ago.
Hopefully I will find time to get the most out of it.
It’s not about time, it’s about priorities:)
love this one
Thank you!
Hey Marcel, I have just become interested in sound design for my nature photography videos and I just found your channel. I have the Zoom hn1 and you have given me hope in using it to enhance my videos. I no nothing about recording sound and only use a basic video program. But you have inspired me to try with what I have. I feel overwhelmed and not sure where to begin. A contract microphone looks interesting. Do you have ideas on recording insects and nature sounds? Say'in hey... Greg
Hi Greg! The Zoom H1n is great for starters. Use this to begin with.
"Can I record the sound? Just the sound."
Proceeds to record everything😂
Thank you for the video. Could you share the best settings for shoting outside?
absolutely great video series!! do you make music with your recordings too??
Thank you. I don't make music with my recordings or in general.
Like you I enjoy to use my small recording devices.
It is a pleasure not to carry tons of equipment around and still get good results.
Sad that Sony does not sell the D100 anymore.
But maybe we will see a new model with 32bit and XLR inputs in the near future?
Let's see.
Thank you for this upload.
Thanks for thia, do you have the settings for vocals and field? Thanks
Thank you for the video. Superb shots and editing. I have question, did you edit/adjust this sound file or this is a raw one?.
Cannot wait to see you in Jakarta and Bogor.
Hi Prio! Thank you so much and these sounds are all original. I just changed the gain on a few files.
enjoyed the video a lot. I was wondering why you not always use a shock mount?
Necesito uno. Planeo grabar el sonido de las fiestas de Techno y hacer entrevistas en estos eventos.
I have the same device h1n. After a couple months, it started to make random click sounds internally. And lately it started to make a lot of buzzing sounds which makes the recordings completely useless. No matter I changed the settings it never got well again.
Hi ihr beiden. I found your channel and loved it instantly. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I tried out the H1N by myself recently. I like the lightweight and small size, but unfortunately I always have very much white noise in my records of ambient sounds when recording nature sounds like birds. Especially when I plugin headphones (ATH M30x) the noise is extremely dominating over the sound I want to record. Did I just got a bad device or is this normal?
Anyway love your work and purchased your sound library! 👍🙂
Hi there! Hmm not sure but don't push the gain to high. Just lower it until you don't here the noise anymore and see how it sounds. If you bought the All in One Bundle please send me an email because I can give you another coupon code to access the brand new sound collection on Gumroad. Thank you for your support!! :)
I know this is a late reply but for anyone wondering, the intrusive noise is not normal. On my first H1n I was also disappointed with a high level of self noise and sent a sample in to Zoom and the retailer who replaced the unit with one that works properly with very low noise
When you recorded used H1, I found that didn’t wearing headphones in night market. How many input volume will suitable to many conditions, thank you.
hi i think purchase this recorder but .. is good for university ? . no have a big room .. u think this can recorder teacher from our chair ?
Thanks you so much for sharing this feedback about the zoom H1 performance. One question : from a pure sound quality point of view, how do you compare it with the h6 ?
Hi! Did you watch the video Zoom H1n Vs Tascam X8? Very very similar.
Thank you for your sound videos. I have a question. When you record outdoor with the h1n what format do you use. 44h 16bits or 48h 24bits . Thank you.
Hi Yann, I record the highest format possible with this recorder.
What do you think about wind protection that came from zoom H1n APH? Btw awesome vid. You really motivated me brah!
I’m not sure if it comes with wins protection. You mean the foam? That good indoors but for outdoors I only use Rycote.
How do you remove noise? On the spot by adjusting gain knob or post processing?
I don't have to remove noise because I don't record it but if I feel like removing some noise, I just use the Denoiser from Bertom. Its basic and good.
Great video, I just got the H1n today and tested it, amazing results for such a low price. I got a question, did you shoot this video with iPhone 13? if so, can you share the settings? I`m thinking of using Gopro for action scenes and iPhone 13 for all else, for simplicity`s sake.
We did use some footage from the iPhone 13. Settings are 4K and 30 frames per second but we shot the most part on the A7iii.
When you've got good sound levels, almost any set of mics will perform well. What do you think of the new TASCAM Portacapture X8 that was recently announced? Larger-diaphragm mics with 32-bit float recording seems to be a nice option for low-volume nature ambiances.
Hi Alan, that is 100 percent correct and yes I heard about the X8 and was going to purchase it but its not available in Thailand yet. Pre Order price is $620 told me a music store. Not sure when @TASCAM Official is able to ship them to Thailand.
Saw that a few days ago and looks super interesting. I'm not in USA but I did see B+H currently have a page up for it but no fixed delivery date. Their price is 499 USD. They say delivery is end of December. Can't wait to see the first hands-on reviews.
@@cryptotrader2779 You can find some reviews already on RUclips about this recorder. The price is cheaper in the US for this recorder but that is before tax. Here in Thailand I get tax back so it might end up the same.
@@FreeToUseSounds Thanks Marcel. I'm in Switzerland and one shop also has a page for it at 489 Swiss Francs, which is only about $18 more expensive than the US. I'll check out the reviews on RUclips. Thanks as always.
Makes me feeling homesick - missing Bangkok. Pom rak Krungtep ;(
Its awesome here for sure.
@@FreeToUseSounds I know - living in Sam Sen.
Which gorilla grip topper do you use to hold your H1N? I see there are multiple head options available. Love your videos!
Hello Brianna, Thank you so much! Hmm, we only use the one that came with this Gorilla Pod.
For ambient cityscape sounds is it better to go with an Omni like the dr05x or a uni like the dr07x?
What mic are you using to mic up this video that’s on your shirt , is that dji wireless mic ??
Great video!
Thank you Rich!
audio ok. but what about video grabber of this cine?
What does this even mean? Could you explain your comment and thought process? Maybe I can help you with the answer you're looking for.
Shalom
Hope all is well with you
I have started field recordings of rain and ocean. What are the best setting to use recording thoes sounds using the h1n
Do you guys have a video on how you store and manage your collection?
No video about it but its mentioned. I use Bandcamp.
❤
Hello. I'm user H1n, but i've problem with noise. Can you tell me to solve it?
Hello, just subscribed, good channel!
I want to ask a simple question. Can we attach any external mic easily to Zoom H8? Like Rode NTG4? And do i need a external microphone for dialogue recording? I know filmmakers use ''shotgun'' microphones for dialogue recording. So as a wanna-be filmmaker, i need to buy two things, one shotgun mic and one zoomH8 for my audio production in general right? Thanks!
I just answered your question on a different video so no reason to repeat yourself.
Great video for me. Can i know your setting? Im using for nature sound(camping, Rain) Thank you
The settings are always different but also very basic. All you need to do is adjusting the gain.
Are the Sounds just made with the h1n and a Wind Protection or do I need something Else?
Thats correct. All sounds are recorded with this device.
what do you do after recording the sound? just for audio bank or sell it?
How do you sync your video with audio from H1n? because it recorded separately
Ah that’s very easy. In order to sync you, you clap with your hand or a slate. Later in post you layer it and exchange it with the camera recordings.
thanks for a great video....i was curious...is the sound quality much better if I record with the Zoom H1n separately (not connected to mirrorless camera via 3.5mm mic jack)
?
I never recorded direct into the camera but you could do a test and see if the quality is different.
❤
It gives directly what you rec on earphones?
Thanks for the video! I use the H1n also, but when you touch the headphone cables or they rub against a surface, it creates an audible sound. That's very annoying. Do you know how to avoid this?
Really? The headphone input shouldn’t create audible noise. I don’t have that problem.
@@FreeToUseSounds Ok, I'm going to ask the music store where I bought the headphones and H1n. Thanks.
How do u name the sound with listening for archieving??
What is a suitable gain audio level?
What do you think about the Zoom H2n? Thank you
Great video. What are the best settings for the H1n when there is a lot of background ambient sound?
That all depends on the situation and there isn't such thing then "best settings" because each recording situation is unique.
@@FreeToUseSounds thank you
What lens did you use at 1:14? Beautiful shot. Sony A7iii body you said?
Hi Paul! This is correct but wait for the next video tonight. We bought the A7iv. Really beautiful camera and the details are much better in low light too. For the lens we used 16-35mm
What was your gain setting?
Hi have you got a video that make suggestions regarding sample rate for the Zoom H1n?
Hi! Well I keep the recorder always at 96kHz 24 bit but that's totally up to you.
hi, have you tested out the sony pcm-A10 for ambient recording? how are the pre-amps?
We don't but we heard great things about the Sony recorders.
Hi, if connect external stereo mics to the line in of zoom h1n (for example lom usi) is the preamp noise lower than using the built in XY zoom h1n mics? Thx
Oh yes it is! But wait for the new H1! Just announced:)
@@FreeToUseSounds thank you very much for your kind reply and suggestion. I'm very grateful for your channel, it has been very helpful for me. And it's a pleasure to see the passion and the quality of your videos and sounds.
It is sounds good. Did you make some post production of records?
Not at all. All recordings are as it. I did made some adjustments to the gain levels in post.
@@FreeToUseSounds 👍👍👍
Hello Dear Sir...Your Fan Here ✌️....
Sir Can You please help Mee...I just bought the zoom h1n ...but whenever I record something ......and listen afterwards....There's a "hisss" sound Being recorded in background... Although my room is proper Acoustically treated ...then also a " hiss" sound being recorded
Hmmm, this is strange. Is the hiss constant and also when you have to level at 1 to 3?
Hi, how can i use H1N handheld without introducing noise, I noticed that it pics every lil sound, even from the wires of the headphones
Well, that is something you can't avoid if you create it. The microphones are very sensitive and they pick up every movement. That is why I either place the recording and don't move or walk around with it. That is how you can avoid that from happening.
Hi Marcel, have you ever used the H1n in very strong winds?? 🤔 If yes, is there a video about it?
Hi Daniela. I wouldn’t do that with an H1n. Maybe for crazy sound design purposes but not to record an overall ambience.
@@FreeToUseSounds oh okay. You have a lot of experience with different products in different weather conditions, what would you recommend for recording sea waves when it’s windy? Something portable and under 1.500€. I don’t have the budget yet for the Cinela with Sennheiser microphones combo.
