I use it so much as 6 months time lost. I am not a fan or regular registration and then will tell you!
I like his size is very convenient to transport and especially, among other brands, two XLR inputs, which certainly improves the recording.
Then I liked the sounds and effects that are very modern and so real. but do not dream, it's for amateur use and if you buy this product is not to create models pro, because it would add too much hardware and buy a studio console typpe mix.
personally I used to see copies of the composition standarts but my sauce for fun.
my method: I make a brief essay-song guitar at the same time setting time, box or otherwise, then I delete. Then I record the first track on a drum machine if it should be understood, if not I use the internal metronome, then an acoustic electric guitar. Then my voice and bass, or synth, and then of course a good mix as it is so well explained. The quality is very good but to record sound you need a special microphone and a room adequate, but not for H4. I do it in a garage or cellar, with a SM58. this is so far the utility that I do. Then I copy it all on my PC and voila. finally I did not need the extra memory card.
but soon I will connect the H4 output mix console with 5 or 6 players and there we'll see. Is this why?
What scares me is the plastic frame, attention to chutte! and backlit display somewhat lower for affected vision (but perhaps I ask too much for the price) So - two points.
I have not tried other since it is the first digital. Worse, try store hours ........... anyway I was conquered.
the price, blah! it's cheap for what I do, in fact I bought it in German bundled with a headset and an extra memory card. at least I have everything at hand.
oh yes a detail! to register only for those who still seek, there is provided a plate with a threaded hole to fix the gear on a level that I do not seem standard. I fixed my foot on standart camera and the thread is exactly, and the height is adjustable. this is a small tube.
with the experience I do not know if I do it again this choice, because it already is evolving so quickly that the new (100 euros more expensive) ZOOM H4n is out. but what a difference?
Also: the user manual is clear even though I had a little trouble understanding how the knob on the top right, which must be turned on but also to support a conclusion. Now it's the cake!
1 year after I give a new notice:
I used it several times, recording "live" format wive, connected directly to my console annalogique stage. We are three singers, musicians and all instruments and vocals are of course connected:
-3 Microphone singing (beta 58)
-1 Piano-paid workers
-1 Elect guitar.
Low -1
-1 Drum machine program. (No battery)
The result is amazing for us who do not know yet who still have a good ear!
I also think that quality is related to the console (Yamaha CF16).
One more note, do not use the automatic setting of "level" of stréréo 2 channels, but use the manual mode to avoid saturation.
I recommend this recorder to all musicians who do not want to take the lead and to prompt a result as + correct.
Since my purchase a Record new model came out and I'm currently not very interrested: TOO EXPENSIVE
and maybe better with + input at the competitors for the same price.
