- In this video I show you how to set up your ZOOM H6 Handy Recorder so you skip sync audio and video in post.
This workaround will save you hours so you don't have to sync your audio and video is post. It's a simple setup and can be done with any wireless mic pack. This tutorial also works with any other External Mic Recorder such as Tascam, Roland, Zoom, Beachtek, Saramonic

Didnt know you could connect the transceiver that way. Thank you, i tried it and it works man.. great tip.
Glad it worked for you! It’s kind of like a “wtf moment” and it opens a lot of possibilities to use it many ways.
Your audio is too quiet my man! I got a lot out of your video and I'm enjoying my H6 I got for a song and break dance on CL yesterday! Thanks for taking the time to share your techniques.
Glad you got something out of it. I’ll make sure to mix my audio with my speakers and not my headphones ever again.
Genius! Thank you so much for this.
What I normally do is I have my recorder near the camera. And say a line "recording video number 1" and then "clap" and the audio of the clap is recorded on the camera and the zoom. That way I just line up all the claps to the same time line and mute the camera track :) so I'm just using the cameras audio for a reference point :)
This is a great tip. For me, I just record the dirty audio on my cameras, then record all my high quality audio to my Zoom and then use DaVinci Resolve's sync via waveform to sync my audio in post and so far Resolve is batting 1000. The only thing I still need to factor in is redundancy. I think this step would help for that more than syncing as that's not really an issue for me.
Glad you found a way to incorporate into your workflow. DaVinci is great at syncing, for me I continue to do this since I’ve done it for the longest and a lot of my jobs require a fast turn around so having clean audio from the beginning saves time
Thanks, your audios good but needs to +10db louder in vid.
Thanks, I leveled it out and it sounded good in my headphones. Any reason why you think it should be higher, for next video?
Thank you! That's great info!
Interesting... I have to try it for my wildlife videos. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. It’s an awesome tip I picked up from an audio engineer and I use about 99% of the time
Saludos! Amazing find. 💯😎 New Subscriber Here!
Thank you! Glad this helped you
I'm going to get one soon. I always feared to sync in post 😳 I dont fear anything but once I heard that, I was like... My mama's calling me.... gotta go... 😳🙄😝 Wish you great success in your life. Blessings!!!
@@ALLBOUTTHUGLIFE thank you. It's not that bad, this is only a step needed if you need to sync in post. It's not always needed.
Thanks for knowledge
You’re welcome
yo what's good, sending good vibes from Fiji my bro!
Hey man glad you made it saying hi from Los Angeles
Great tip I have a H4n pro and want to record with a shot gun mic on a Boom pole. would it be ok to connect to an XLR Jack
@@honeywtfpodcast yes that works perfect
@@itsgussy thanks!
Just out of curiosity if you are close to the front of the stage, have you ever had the H6 connected to your mirrorless via the Hot shoe ?
It doesn't transfer audio via the hot shoe, unless you're using the dedicated Sony Mic. Also if you meant if I mount it to the hot shoe, I never do. It's too bulky and that would defeat the purpose of my using this technique to skip syncing audio in post.
Very, very interesting, thank you!
Glad it helped
If I will be recording a live jazz concert using the H6 and I wanted to sync audio in my footage, which set up will you suggest? My camcorder has bad audio, that’s why I am considering a H6 recorder. And like you, I hate doing the sync post video. I found your video that gave me a god idea. Do I need to invest in a good mic?
Thanks. You mentioned your camera has bad audio. The zoom H6 is also a microphone, I’m not sure what camera you have but you can connect the H6 as a mic via the Line Out to your camera. Or if you’re going to connect to the audio mixer make sure you get a master out to record to the H6, then use a lave mic system to sync the audio to your camera
So the solution would be a combi of an H6 and a lav mic connected to my camcorder? With SD card in both or just the camcorder?
@@fedejesusm I would always record to both, always have redundant audio.
Thank you so much itsgussy. Your tips are very much appreciated. Not many vloggers take time to reply comments. But you do ☺️
@@fedejesusm you’re welcome. Glad I can share some of my experience that can help those with questions. Make sure to sub if you haven’t already. I’ll be uploading a video on tips for audio soon 👍🏽
Great Video!
Thank you. I hope it helped you
Great video, you have a great demeanor, easy to listen to, hey is it possible to live stream with this process of connecting a camera and the H6? Thanks!
Thanks Sean. Let me see if I get your questions you want to learn how to use the H6 as a microphone? Or how to connect mics into the H6 and have all of those feed into your camera?
@@itsgussy well I was wondering if it's possible to connect to a camera or not and live stream music from? Thx
@@scourneene yes you can connect a camera to it, As far as live streaming with, thee only way you can live stream and get music from the h6 is if you have music connecting to one of inputs and then using the line out to your live stream Input
@@itsgussy ok great, i just planned on trying the x/y mics and then that goes to line out to live stream software. I ask as I'm new to this stuff and there's not alot online about live streaming a H6. Unless they are referring to podcasts which I didn't know if peps mean they are recorded or running those live. Thanks
@@scourneene no worries you can ask all the questions and I’ll try to help. You can connect all mice or music into the H6 and then use the line out for the life stream. I don’t do livestreams but it’s definitely cheaper to use the H6 than to buy a dedicated Streaming board set up. If you need links to products let me know and I’ll find them for you
Great video. I have the same setup - Question: What's the brand & model number of the black coiled cable for the "line out" of the Zoom H6 Handy Recorder? Many thanks.
I don’t remember the model number but it’s a cable from Rode
Makes sense for syncing, but not much beyond that... because you're downgrading the audio a number of times. If you're just vlogging, and your audience is watching in bed or on the toilet, then this is a great solution. If you ever have a plan to have your content played in 4k with decent headphones or an audio system and want to utilize what your H6 is capable of, you definitely don't want to change your analog (natural sounds) signal to digital (zoom recieved), back to analog (analog out), to digital again (changed to bluetooth signal), back to analog (to the analog in on your camera) and finally digital to your camera file. It saves time, yes... but if you want quality audio from your H6, the less changes you do the better... in my opinion.
Good opinion. It’s definitely all in your workflow, and deliverable’s. You can use a combination of this method or a one or the other.
Very interesting. Will this work with 4 mics plugged into the Zoom XLR inputs? I need to record 4 people doing a table read.
Yes you have 4 inputs for the zoom H6
Como se llama el aparato receiver ? Que marca es ? Gracias por la información!!
Es este

O alomejor te refieres a este ?

@@itsgussy Gracias! Se llama Rhode Wireless !

What's the ball head thing for, that you've mounted at the base of your camera?
I don’t have a ball head showing on the video. Attached to the camera is a battery grip
Question for you, when you upload the video from the camera do you have multiple channels for the different mix inputs on the zoom to edit separately or is it all in one single audio track in the video file?
Since I use the splitter I get 2 channels synced with the camera. If I use all 4 channels on the mic and use the ride to send to my camera it’s still 1 track coming from the zoom. The advantage here is if I want to sync more channels from the zoom the automated syncing in post is much easier
7:40
3 backups sounds good to my depth of paranoia
That’s why I created this method
What’s purpose of zoom h6 when you can just use rode wireless go transmitter as the mic that syncs with camera. Why plug transmitter into zoom h6 for extra step?
You obviously didn’t see the entire video. I literally explain why this set up comes in handy for certain situations.
@@itsgussy i watched it twice - so using zoom h6 to wirelessly transfer signals of the other xlr mics using rode transmitter is the main benefit so no post production syncing?
@@WTABallers exactly. If you have 4 XLR or line inputs, it save the syncing process in post, it also can help to add the extra channels to make it easier in post syncing specific channels
