I've owned the H8 since 2020, never knew that's where the cap could be stored 2:30. Genius design!!
Me too 😂
That "Foreshadowing a future video" text got me excited in more ways than one.
I am a part of a 6-man podcast team that goes online but also we do podcasts on location covering pop-culture conventions and I am contemplating on getting the L8 and your video just made me contemplate on getting the H8 instead because of the portability.
Great review, as always. 🔥
Cheers!
Yeah...both are amazing units...though the H8 is a bit more user friendly I find.
Yes, very clear no distortion. Very versatile kit. I only use it for audio on my short films/documentary/foley etc. I once recorded a school project using H8 and H5 together..12 mics!! Worked fine mixed in logic.
I wish Zoom would update software for the H8 giving all inputs a safety track of -12 or -15db. Not just the xy capsule.
I have the Zoom H6 and seems to work very well but this thing is insane.
Great video, love the H8. I use it for audio for my documentary and short films. Also as an interface for my song recordings into Logic. The shape of it I don't mind. I only use the field section as I'm not into podcasting and I use Logic as my daw. Recorded a classical gig recently Piano and two sopranos , no problems at all using condenser mics x 4. The xy capsule was on as well just to pick up room ambience. Highly recommend it. no need for 32bit float with proper gain staging.
Another great video! This looks insane and a worthy upgrade for many forms of users such as podcasters, musicians, etc. Keep up the great work its good to see you grow and progress towards a point you've deserved for a long time. 😊
Getting there!
Cheers and thank you for the kind words!!
@@DarkCornerStudios Of course, anytime. 🫂
Can we record Mono in Zoom H8 using XYH-6 capsule ?
My H6 is great and I loved my old H4N. Never should have given it away. But I can't see any advantages in jumping to H8.
If yo haven't jumped yet. If you wish do so. I'll give you this. The H8 sounds 3 times more studio gear then the 6. Or it seems to. Aden borrow an NT1 if you can and please do a second vid with the NT1. This will answer the pro question once and for all. That's incase he sees this comment.
@@MrHamit64 I can't justify the purchase.
Understood. Just saying that there is that 1 advantage if anything. As for the H8's size it's just fatter. But really it's not much bigger then the 6.@@seanwebb605
I love my H6. This looks good.
349.99 aint a bad price for what it does.I love it!!
I hope you'll review Zoom F6 one day!
Me too...got a decent relationship with Zoom now...
I will reach out in a bit and see what they say
Bruh totally get an F6. That's the 1 I actualy wanted. Because of the sound. Check out that Holly wood sound goes indi vid seriously. I was like bro is this a freegin sound Devices? That's how good those F recorders sound. Again like bruh Zoom. Ya all missed a step with the new F8N Pro. They should have giveen it the H8's snap off connector. How cool wuld at be? Bam with the EX H8 full 7.1.4 192 KHZ 32 bitfloat Dolby Atmos. Can you tell yet I'm an Atmos nurd?@@DarkCornerStudios
I don't want any device that shocks me. Do they sell a no shock version?
I’ve owned the H8 and Tascam x8. I actually prefer the x8. Call me crazy but zoom got it right with this one. Do you need 32bit float? No. Is it helpful yes. But if you clip the sound before it get to the x8 your out of luck.
Use mics with a decent SPL and don't shout. :)
Is it Darths' communicator?
I am sure I can find that somewhere in the user guide
In college I worked on the Red Green Show for two days during a PBS pledge drive.
Dream gig for a Canadian broadcaster
@@DarkCornerStudios It was so much fun.
Yeah USB micro for the H8. Now to make things worse make sure you get the 1 with the right little teeth.
But cool recorder. With the EX H8 hooked up yeah it's not handy no more but dude 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos into 1 machine. Dude even ooked to a Laptop. Just rout the 10 channals in your DAW in surround and Bam. Dolby Atmos. You yes can use the 360 capsle but you have to get the converter software from the page for the H3 VR. The Player software that helps you convert the A format 360 audio even to 5.1 surround. Of my 2 the 1 I'm most hesitent to give up ironically is the H8. Cause I was thinking of celling off the 2018 H6 and the H8 to get the new H6E. Cause yes though surround wize it's a downgrade ahim talking menus. But I guess it's a guts downgrade based on your review too. Which hmmm again talking menus. But I would sound wize rather H8 sound and 10 channal Atmos. Basically too bad they didn't do an H8E.
Can it easily take a line level without a DI?
That is a great question...and one I didnt test.
Stupid Aiden...STUPID AIDEN!!
When I get the chance I will test that out
@@DarkCornerStudios I have taken line level from a sound desk at school concert no problems. If level is still too high engage the -20db pad.
Yes, I have taken line level (xlr) from sound desk at concert no problems. Also I digitise some vinyl from rec out on stereo amp to 3.5 jack on capsule. works great but the signal is hot so gain on H8 is usually around 2
@@pathegartyfilmssongs9487 And it's clean without distortion?
I forgot about this...Dylan would know.. great question for the live.
Dylan is hard-core with the H8
You look like Tanos
Lol...yeah I get that a lot
But yeah they should've 1 put USB C on the 8. Then 2 written more into the app. Again as I said on 1 of your other vids it's only inaccessible because Zoom let the H8 be so. We can mostly use the F recorders with the app. But still there's things lacking in the app. It would be better if they spoke like the new Esental 1s. But yes that surprised me that Reaper saw the H8 and automatically selected all the ins and outs.
