    Freaking yes! I said it in the "Friend of the Devil" cover and I'll say it here: Josh Turner has the hardest working Zoom H2 in the business. I've been down the equipment rabbit hole time and time again, and I am so sincere about this... after watching "Friend of the Devil," everything started to click for me. It led me to your video series on recording with the Zoom H2, and I decided to scrap all my XLR cords, USB interfaces, condensers, and line-ins, in favor of a Zoom H6 with the XY microphone similar to the H2. It's all I've been using, I've never sounded better, I'm recording an entire album with it, I'm recording in the field with it... I'm doing what I want to do for the first time which is HAVE FUN and focus on the music. It's such a "derp" concept, and I'm embarrassed that it's taken me this long to figure out, but it may be the most important lesson I've learned along the way. Much obliged for that Josh!

    As the owner of an H2, because of Josh, I can say it is an amazing piece of equipment. It is self contained and because it is it is the first choice for recording in our of the studio recordings. Top notch, reasonably priced and blow you away sound quality. Since it records in digital format you don't need an interface to get files that are immediately useable in your music or video projects. That said this is a very cute commercial, as one would expect from a true artist.

      @@sebxiou-av375 its a hobby-ists obsession.
      Pros buy the best they can afford and thats that. They stick with it until it breaks.
      Eventually If they need anything better they rent or borrow it for the job. I work w/clients that pay for us to rent Alexa’s and Cooke cinema lenses and a whole moving truck full of lighting and grip equipment.
      I couldn’t afford even a single lens myself or a single m18 light.
      Start thinking like a pro. Visit your local rental house or find an online one. For photography, you can rent almost any photography lens for 25-50 dollars a day. Rent on Friday and you can keep it until monday morning for 1 day fee.

    @kirkp_nextguitar Год назад

    I’ve made countless recordings of rehearsals and gigs on the H2 and it’s great for that. The main annoyances are the awkward user interface and tiny screen. It’s easy to overload the inputs when recording at high volumes. It’s important to use the pad switch on the side in those situations. Rolling the fader down doesn’t prevent overload.
    I now have an H8, which is obviously much more versatile, but if all I need is a live recording the H2 works fine and can easily fit in a pocket.

    Please do Yourself a favor and Trust that Zoom recorder.
    That was the 1st model I bought way back about 15 years ago.
    Used it to record my band LIVE right in front of the stage area.
    DAM! BAM! No bullshit. That unit does a fantastic job getting all instruments and their own tones with its built-in mics.
    You can even record a 4 track live, getting more room and audience.
    Way too easy. Fits on a stand and downloads into DAW no nonsense.
    Record WAV at 48 gave me the best results.
    I trusted Zoom for all those years I went ahead and got the H6.
    Holy Crap! Insane quality ! 6 tracks ! I gave away that original one and that person is still using it today to record himself writing tunes when they pop in his head.
    I am A Zoom Fan since these items.
    I Highly recommend you try any Zoom item out that has the features to fit your needs. You will be pleased.

    I'm glad you still have your H2. I remember commenting on your H2 on, I assume, your old Sultans of Swing video, and you replied to that comment, as I recall.
    My introduction to the H2 was in a corporate environment. I needed to record meetings and capture what was said, so I could call my boss out when he changed his mind about things. I was so impressed with it as a standalone recorder, but it also worked well as just a USB mic. And as a hobbyist musician, it seemed to me like it would be great for recording music also, even though that did not seem to be a selling point of it.
    Because I had bought that H2 on my corporate credit card, I did the right thing and left it behind when I quit. I assume they never used it again, and if they did, they by golly never appreciated it for what it was. I should have kept it.
    I have noticed, over the years, that you have kept using Zoom devices, but I hadn't noticed the H2 on your videos in a long time. Like I said, I'm glad you still have it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised you do. But I guess I'm surprised you're featuring it after all these years. Just goes to show how well made it was.
    Nice commercial also :)
