Review by Bob Costa for Zoom H4n Handy Portable Digital Recorder DVD Video Training Manual Tutorial
Rating:
I recently bought the Zoom H4n. This device really is a studio in your palm. It is amazingly simple, yet amazing in its capabilities. I suppose someone could read the manual in 6 or 8 hours and learn how to use it, but in truth the manual is not really all that good. It mostly covers what keystrokes to use, but it could take someone a year just to discover all the useful things this super-studio in a box will do. I chose the easy route, and bought this excellent instructional DVD.
The only thing not covered in this DVD is how to turn the device on. Once you get past that, the instructor takes you thru simple field stereo recording using the onboard mics, adding external mics, 4 channel recording, Multi-Track Recording and more. He covers using the special effects built into the H4N, and tools like the Metronome, Tuner, Karaoke maker, and everything else. He covers multi-track dubbing and even shows you how to insert partial edits into a track. You learn how to manage the various files, and how to use the H4N as a front end for a PC-based DAW. I honestly do not believe he missed a single feature in this tutorial, and covers it all in two fairly interesting hours. He also brings some of his considerable real-world recording experience to the DVD in an understandable way. After watching the DVD, any serious musician will be ready to record a pro-quality CD using just the H4N and maybe a couple of external mics.
I am guessing that this DVD saved me anywhere from 30 to 100 hours of learning time, and let me be immediately productive and professional using the H4N at my first attempt. If you buy or own an H4N, don’t waste any more time or think about it, just buy this DVD. The only question I have is why ZOOM does not include the DVD in every box.
