- An introduction to the Zoom F6 multitrack mixer/recorder. I go through setting up the unit for recording, formatting the SD, choosing record settings, naming and navigating files/folders, PFL menus and the differences between monophonic/polyphonic .wav files in post-production.

This is how a walkthtos supposed to be, no bs, just relevant information
most articulate f6 video no BS commentary on how smart you are. Brilliant and thank you. PERFECT.
Most articulate F6 video with 0 fluff, exactly what we needed
Fantastic
helped alot with my new F6!
This video totally saved my bacon tonight. I am a complete techno phobe and had to master this for a dual interview and this video was amazing! Thank you
This was exactly the tutorial I was looking for. Straight to the point with the precise navigation tools to get multiple microphones up and running and then having full mixing capabilities with video editing and in my DAW. Thank you:

Just got my Zoom F6 and this was very helpful. There's so much packed into this recorder that it can get a little busy in the menus.
the frc-8 controler is a great interface to help with he busyness of the menus
5:38 will say check your daws compatibility before using poly and or 32bit float. Most will support 32bit float if they are from the last few years but I have had trouble with the poly files and had to bring out another daw and transfer everything over which takes more time than just having a big heap of files. Super handy video btw!
I just ordered the zoom f6 and this video was a great help to get started when I get my unit. thanks !
Great little walk through. Thanks
Great overview. Thanks.
Outstanding!!! Thanks for doing this.
Great video! Thank you! So well explained
Thanks for your simplicity
Thank u so much. I should be ready for the tmr
Subscribed, really good tutorial :) Thank you
Very useful thanks
excellent video
Thank you so much
Very Nice 👍
thank you
Excellent tutorial, my friend!... One thing I'm currently confused about: In 24bit recording, if you're setting the channel's input gain via the menu's Trim function... then what is the use of the fader's gain?
I notice by turning the fader up, you can apply +24db of gain.... is this additional to the menu Trim gain?
Thankyou! The fader knob on the front panel, in 24bit, only chooses how much of that track is being sent to the stereo mix (shown as LR on the main view). So we could have our individual tracks being recorded as ISOs slightly quieter using our PFL Trim, but sent through to our mix however loud we'd like.
So the answer to your questions is, yes the fader boosts the Trim gain but only to the Stereo LR Mix track, not the individual track's gain.
Hope that makes sense, the idea of mixing and recording is a little confusing but gives us flexibility in terms of running the mix out to a camera (line out) and also having a stereo mix that sits on-top of our other tracks for the editor to use for reference.
You could always turn off the mix if you just want the ISOs (REC - LR TRACK - OFF)

@@HS_Sound_BathSpaUni AHHAAA!!! Hal, you've saved me a world of confusion! Thank you for such an in-depth reply!... I went over the H6's 'quick start' guide with a fine-toothed comb, and never did it touch on this (unless I just need new glasses hah). Thanks again.
Very good tutorial, but no information on the Sony type batteries that fit on the back. I bought this recorder and it came with no batteries.
Thanks for the feedback! They are SmallRig NPF970 batteries that I’m using in the video and one can easily last a shoot day with Phantom Power on one track. They charge using a small USB-C charger which does take a long time, but for a cheaper battery set I’m happy with that trade off. You could invest in a more expensive set and they’d probably have a mains powered charger.
It is a shame they don’t ship with NP-F’s but the F6 is the same as every other field recorder on the market in that anything other than AA power is an added extra.
I plan on making a deep dive on the F6 for my students soon so hopefully more of your questions can be answered!
Best,
Hal
Thanks for the response. I happened to have two 970 batteries here and charged them and they work. Thanks for your comprehensive video. Jeff in Indiana@@HS_Sound_BathSpaUni
How can use solo track listing when we recording
You can solo a track and hear only that in your headphones while recording by going to that track’s PFL view either by pressing the PFL button or by going MENU - INPUT - PFL.
At the bottom of the PFL view there’s also an option to turn off PFL HP monitoring I believe!
Bro if you do not use 32 bit float there is better option to choose from?
32bit float provides a massive dynamic range and means you don't have to set gain in the recorder. You can then adjust gain and recover any loud or quiet sounds in your editing software of choice, without any noise floor or distortion. So if you're looking to record something that is easily recoverable and don't want to worry about gain/trim then this would be the best option! I tend not to teach it to the majority of my students as setting gain correctly is an important part of audio mixing and generally production sound is recorded in 24bit. Be sure to check out Curtis Judd's video on this subject: ruclips.net/video/6V52O2ELcz8/видео.html

How do you change the input track name? I see you labeled yours as “boom” and “mic”. I can’t seem to figure out how to change mine. 14:08
In the menus go to REC - METADATA - TRACK NAME and you can name each of the six tracks however you’d like, they even have some useful presets in there already for you!
