mikeler's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Top top unit!"

Eight months ago I use the Zoom H1.C is my first recording numrique, it is of great sensitivity dot. TRS is a good tool for classical guitarist I'm trying to become ... I pay a bit expensive, I recommend every musician or not.

I only regret not being able to read updates downloads effectus on the map, which would allow me to put me in the head as j'tudie spices ... or to use it as an MP3 player. Unless a user afft not teach me to do?

In advance, thank you!

Good and all FTEs.

Kittisak's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Yeah ..."

Overall Opinion

I use it for several months. I bought it to keep track of our rptitions.

Problem, do not cash at all has the volume set RPET. Big pickups tend to saturate the bass and snare hits (even in the remoteness as possible), while the recording level peak-12dB.

Under conditions 'normal' is correct, but like to keep track, not to make a clean record.

Manufacturing plastic, rather cheap, but it holds up this time.

Overall I would say it trsmdiocre, but given as a prize, we can not ask for miracles. O On my rating of 5.

I will not go that choice. And if I had known, I might be a MODEL took a little more seriousness, but more expensive.

lapiculteur's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " really great for the price"

Overall Opinion

I reu yesterday and tried on.

before I had a SWISSONIC mdr2 well, as cot SWISSONIC say is ... lol

SWISSONIC the cot is the sonic blast, even tonic!

the zoom is not breathless but it's high volume acceptable. I am testing on voice and guitar to wav and it's really good. a little dry but also adpend orientation. you have to blunder placement. for voice talk I put the volume almost enr merits and does not saturate.

size is gniale, it is important not to use the hand is any noise reading to touch the foot of the gear they offer in the bundle is zero. I bought a camera up to three or four euros on the site of enchres the best known. it folds flat and has three feet and with a gnial it, you place it where you want and go.

the price quality ratio is impressive especially since it costs on the same site I mentioned in England 75 euros including postage

ah I do not like is the tiny buttons on the cot, it's really not very practical but suddenly he alavantage DTRE small

didou650's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " very disappointed"

Overall Opinion

Hello, I bought this H1 is certainly a good quality recording and convenient to use but for me, as bugs and fell down permanently after one week.

A friend bought the H2 at the same time as me.

h2 is the good quality audio but after three months the LCD display almost nothing.

may be out of luck but for me it's over zoom.

desjeff's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Great!"

Overall Opinion

Like any potential buyer, I read the opinion, and I say, I go!

No regrets, it performs the function to be asked, quite good quality and a great price ...

Ideal for storing improvisations, riffs, creations in rehearsal.

I use it for about 1 month.

What I like most: simplicity! I turn, I ask, I press record and hop, go! I bought the pack along with tripod, foam and mic stand adapter, but if you have it for a camera is the same.

What I like least: I once wanted to name the tracks recorded, the Zoom connected PC, and read through the zoom ... So, get used to the track numbers.

Obviously, some say they hear the sound when you press the record button .... blah! a sudden mixing of computer (Audacity, for example) and it's done!

I would do this choice, no problem.

kilderkid's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " blah blah"

Overall Opinion

How long have you use it?

not buy because: blah

just tried.

What is so special that you like most and least?

medium finish, the plastic body moves and is very noisy in the record (do not touch when the recording starts)

very very ensible! the entry level line must be really close to the minimum to not saturate.

but by then against the price is very low :-)

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Marantz PMD660, PMD661, Edirol R09-HR, Zoom H2 and H4n, Tascam DR07, DR100 (only models best + but expensive, many times)

How would you rate the quality / price?

it's cheap when used as a dictaphone, otherwise, must take a level above.

With experience, you do again this choice?

beh I do not buy it yet :-)

bellour's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Very good"

Overall Opinion

How long have you use it?

For a week I had the time to test it in several configurations: guitar-voice, electronic drums, before the electric guitar amp ...

What is so special that you like most and least?

Most is the sound. Nothing to do but before that, I recorded on dictaphone Sony, so we see a real difference (for a relatively small difference in price eventually). The settings are easy to make, everything is on the surface of the bug: input, output, bitrate ... No need to go rummaging in a menu.

Least, honestly, it's the details. As has been said, there is the problem that it is very sensitive to noise on its surface (like touching it during recording), and this is especially true since the input is strong. that is to say that we should not move when recording sound rather weak style of guitar tones. But hey, do not move again, it is feasible. on the other hand, what is more disturbing is that it records sound to each track start because of his rec button and the noise it made to support it. I tried to press gently, but it's still a noise on the track. it's a shame, I think they could have a lag of several seconds between the start of the recording and pressing the button ... but good.

I do not like too the names of files also: ZOOM0001 ... but such is the detail.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Uh, no. On this side, I am not a reference.

How would you rate the quality / price?

Very good, I paid 75euros on an auction site.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Altogether, with my experience a week ^ ^ In fact, with just the experience, I regret even buying a voice recorder last year, when I should buy it direct.

Otherwise, I did not buy the special package with tripod and all the stuff for a vingtaire euros, it seemed a bit too expensive for the number of truly useful purpose in the lot. But in fact, there is one useful thing is the windscreen. As is to save my home, I had not expected there to be wind, but in fact it is very sensitive to the slightest breath (which is quite logical), suddenly, it ends a little too close the microphone during a song, and bam saturation. So I bought a standard windshield (for micro size 40-50), and it will have a little better. However, it is better to learn to not breathe on it anyway.

The saturation indicator (red) is very useful too. With all the trimmings, you can really master what you do, and not have the horrible surprise to have recorded a great thing completely saturated or inaudible. Short, we can really make nice recordings. Besides, I was impressed with the recording line-in electronic drum, the sound is really good, better than the original headset.

quintebemol's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Good solution for troubleshooting"

Overall Opinion

I've had two weeks without having to test another model, because budget.

the + is the small size and ease of use, or the sound is pretty good, a little brighter, however.

the - is the fragile thing and especially its hypersensitivity microphones ... record at the time of any handling noise of the zoom agree, it is necessary to fix on a support.

Money honorable, but still too expensive for what it is ... made in china, Besin not to dwell on the subject, it was included!

re not sure of that choice, I will wait to have more money to invest in a more pro.

jean-jacques.zwald@wanadoo.fr's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " necessary to repeat"

Overall Opinion

I use it for about a year

- In rehearsal: I record all the repeats and I replay the pieces to find what to improve, what to keep creations, etc. ..

- In concert with the H1 records made incredible! I made a model with it just by reworking the tracks with Samplitude, whereas before I galérais with microphones or a subculture of the table that never gave the "true sound".

One trick to save: the place to 2m in height from the ground and not too far from the scene if you do not see all the instruments on the sound system.

I like the least: take a sample to another is a little galley and forward / rewind are a bit slow. To re-listen, I prefer to copy the mp3 or wav file on my computer and use software or just media player.

value for money: Unbeatable in my opinion.
