Thanks for the great video on this device. I'm considering purchasing this for my RUclips videos. My only suggestion would be to see how it works with mics plugged into the jacks on the bottom. Barring that, it was a great run down on the device, and the little things that waste time when you setting up and getting going with recording audio. All the best, Cheers Rick
Thank You, I just bought one on ebay. I just discovered the Zoom U-44 and the audio quality test you did was similar to the test on your video. The PLUG-IN menu info will definitely help me in the FUTURE. GOOD VIDEO
I just ordered H4n pro and I thought it was going to be hard but watching you I am encouraged thanks for your video. i am going to bookmark your video I may need it again when I get it. Thanks this was really helpful! Judy
Thanks so much! You're a very useful sloth, smart, slow and steady, which is exactly what I need to understand stuff sometimes. You gave a very concise and fluff-free presentation, including stuff I intend to use over the next couple of days. Thanks again!
Intro guide but good. i had this used it for audio journaling and self therapy. and gave it to a friend just bought it again for my videos on here. Watching all videos about it so i can properly record my music. Getting two condensor mics.
Dude, I don't have a mode setting? I don't have these settings: Tool, Mode nor USB??? H4n Pro model. Is this a bug or something? I just bought one online... What the... Help please! Edit - it seems that you can't use 4 channel mode or tools in the stamina mode. Problem solved! PS. Great video!
Lol! You got me there :D I was wondering what are you recording on at the start of the video and how can I possibly trust you with an audio review. Well played... :D
Very useful. I wish you had an example using the two xlr inputs. I can imagine how they work, but I am a novie and it would help me to see it working. .
Just bought one of these today from a co worker. His roommate moved out months ago. Was going through stuff in the spare room and found it. Hasn’t spoken to him since he moved out so he sold it to me for $50.
Would you recommend doing an interview with this recorder by holding it in my hand and moving it between me and my interviewee - would it pick up the sound well without the lapel mic and be able to have both of us record our voices in the same clip with the one recorder?
Thank you so much man... I was kinda stuck between zoom h4n pro and sony recorder, which I already have. So just for vlogging, I don't need to upgrade to Zoom h4n pro... I don't see much of a difference here in your video. Thanks again.
Thanks for the great video, very straight forward and to the point. Much appreciated. Question- do you know why the two external inputs record to just one wav file? Since you can use two and set the rec levels individually, I'm just curious why you wouldn't get two wav files for those, and then the one wav file for the onboard mics- give a total of 3 wav files to mix. If you know... thanks!
@@kbowman0016 You can use "MTR" (multitrack) mode for up to 4 tracks, one for each of the L/R mics on top (or the L and R from a stereo mic you plug in the 3.5mm jack on the back) and one or both of the combo jacks on the bottom.
On 3:50 is referring to the jack as a HP OUT and LINE IN, Maybe i didn't get him right, and he is saying that you can monitor the line input through that? All do you can monitor all the inputs (line/mic/ext), and the EXT MIC is not meant to be used with a line level single, you can add a attenuator to do that, and turning off the ext power supply output.
I got this used on eBay for $150. Seems like a good deal but did not get anything with it and no instructions. Still a decent deal? I have to use this for voice-overs when the basement is loud due to the on-demand furnace during the winter. The alternate location for me will be the walk-in closet in the master bedroom.
Great explanation, Can you please tell me connect to connect ZoomH1n and Boya BY M1 lav mic to my smartphone so that I can record Audio and Video in together.
I can't see Mode in menu. I know it was there but now I am not able to change the mode. What should I do :( I have no idea what i have done and how to change it.
Get video for getting up and running on my new H4N Pro. I'm starting a podcast. I've ordered a cable for the purpose of recording an interview from someone's phone and then to the recorder. I'll be using my studio mic (AT4050) directly into the H4N and then Google Voice for the connection to the recorder. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
You truly explained it great. I stumbled upon your video as I was looking for a refresher course for my two zooms that I use, I also just subscribe. Let me ask you. What is the highest MP3 setting you can use for audio ? In other words the highest quality MP3 setting ? Thanks Keith
When you're recording music, lets say a 12 song band set. When you press stop to stop recording the first song, does it make itself ready to record the next track separately or start again at the end of the first track like one continuous track. Guess what I mean is does it separate each song you record ? And does it allow you to finalize each individual track ? Or once you upload the music to your computer, and you can finalize the track onto a cd ?? Thanks for your help & your video !
Have you ever had a "frozen" situation when turning your Zoom on? My h4n pro is stuck at "Now Loading", though it was working fine yesterday. Any thoughts?
Did you change the SD Card? For 2 GB it takes some seconds to load, for 32 GB about 4 min!! loading/starting time. Thats why i use a 2 or 4 GB Card in my device.
Excellent! The only thing I would add is that when selecting an item from the menu, be sure to click on the scroll wheel when you want to dig deeper, not the menu button. That really frustrated the heck out of me.
Honestly, the "button" of the scroll wheel is the very worst part of this unit. I once deleted all my tracks using the damn thing, because I wasn't careful enough when pressing it, and "NO" turned into "YES" just as it clicked. Needless to say, I cursed at it!
This was a PERFECT intro video.

Thanks for the concise review. I haven't used one for over a year and I needed a refresher. Perfect!
Super helpful. I've had mine for several years and still learned a lot!
Thank you for sharing the "gotcha" situations. Helpful.
You really had me at the beginning of this video. I was literally googling another video to watch confuse it as I was and then you got me.
Thank you for this video, I was trying to find out how to unlink the two channels and you provided me with the answer.
Thank You, I just bought one on ebay. I just discovered the Zoom U-44 and the audio quality test you did was similar to the test on your video. The PLUG-IN menu info will definitely help me in the FUTURE. GOOD VIDEO

Perfect basic intro my man! I was interested in buying this product and now I am sold. Thank you sir!
Just got my H4N Pro and enjoyed your overview. Thanks!
Brilliant, to the point, intro to get you started straight out of the box! Thank you, very helpful.
true! I hate when people talk for 5 minutes before getting to the tutorial
had for a while and just decide to make this thing work. I had no idea until I seen your video. I am well on my way now. Thanks much.
Great description thanks! I would have liked a little more like 4 Channel vs stereo recording for podcasts
very helpful advice in buying an H4nPro which I just did. Look forward to using it.
Huge thanks for making this video. I need a used one of these but I have zero training. And I actually know what to do now 😎
Good video, thanks!

How to change stamina mode to other mode??
@@hemix97 There's a physical switch in the battery compartment, but you still have to restart the unit for the change to take effect.
great overview! thanks a lot
Thank you for this video, just picked one up to sample sounds out and about and this helped immensely in learning how to use this new tool!
Excellent review. Thank you.
Great tutorial on the h4n zoom pro
I love mine and have been using it quite a bit lately.
Thank you so much for the video. I now understand more than I did before. Blessings!
Nice tutorial , he's an easy guy to listen to
Wanted to hear a sample of the built in mics
Lol! You got me there :D

Very informative video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it!
I need to know how to set up this recorder to connect my keyboard in stereo mode using the 1/4” pug inputs located on the bottom
Just bought one of these today from a co worker. His roommate moved out months ago. Was going through stuff in the spare room and found it. Hasn’t spoken to him since he moved out so he sold it to me for $50.
Score!
Excellent presentation. Appreciated and subscribed.
Thank you. Very useful.
Thanks for the info here.. I learned a couple great tips
Will the zoom help me in recording phone calls for my podcast.
Great review, very well explained.

Hey! Great vid, very helpful, but, according to the user manual, the 1/8 headphones / line jack is for hp and line output, not line input, cheers!
The one on the side of the unit is line out/phones, the one on the _back_ ("EXT MIC") is line in.
On 3:50 is referring to the jack as a HP OUT and LINE IN, Maybe i didn't get him right, and he is saying that you can monitor the line input through that? All do you can monitor all the inputs (line/mic/ext), and the EXT MIC is not meant to be used with a line level single, you can add a attenuator to do that, and turning off the ext power supply output.
@@StereoImage_IL I didn't notice when he said that; clearly just a brainfart.
how do I get the same audio levels?
Wath is the differents between
this one and the all black recorder
Thank you 🙏 very helpful

I don't know how to delete recordings in my Zoom?
Great video thanks, just wish you would have gotten into the 4 track mode

hey, can you also use a chinch cable? or does it only work with xls
Good job dude
Can I record from a mixer? For example, run a cable from the mixer to the H4N to record the mixer output audio?
Just bought mine and yes you can plug right into mixer with headphones jack

Can I able to forward the rewined an audio by using which button in this device? 3 or 5 second next or previous?
What does the hold feature do? I have never used it.
i suppose it disables the buttons, so that you don't accidentally hit one when recording?
@@DimitriBR Exactly, yes.
Can this also be used for recording guitars?
yes!
It also has a built-in tuner, metronome, guitar effects...you should really check out the user manual!
What would I need to get my rode video mic pro to work?
RobZimiga phantom power probably?
