    I use the H4 for 3 months. Given the comments that have logieux t made on this forum regarding this device, I DCID invest. I'm not.

    This product really rpond my needs: couraging good quality recordings quickly and in all circumstances. It idalie s'entraner to save before going in the studio. As a rapper, I transfer the music (converted to mono wav) from my pc to h4 and I added vocals thanks the appliance.

    The report is good though qualitprix Product Parrat a little fragile. I only regret that the device can operate with a rechargeable battery (but you can use the same rechargeable batteries)

    I do it again this choice without hsiter.

    - How long have you use it?
    for about a week, I use to capture sound, I have not tried for reweighed but I think it should not too quickly. 2 Sennheiser ME 66 microphones are connected to phantom power.

    - What is so special that you like most and least?
    the most for now Quick, phantom power, excellent sound proof one of my first catch:

    Cons: the catch of the phantom does not support enough cables, and as often quoted, access to the memory card difficult.

    - How would you rate the quality / price?
    well

    - With experience, you do again this choice…

    Test several times by repeating, at the end of the third I'm getting the sound!

    the audio interface for me is more anecdotal (some big sound: a huuuuge fuzz for example) and still quite cold but I had not bought the ca
    C short is good!
    I agree with other opinions on the delicate aspect of the beast, however, any plastic, must see al use (intensive) if he survives.

    I bought this unit to the United States three months ago. The diffrence in price is worth it ...

    Some examples: test-taking sound of an organ in a church. Professors of the organ, you win rglage make a "mid" I captured the clicking of the keyboard! on the other hand, if the organ accompanies the choir, you still rgler even on "high".
    Another example of a decision of its carillon. To get an IDE, I measure 105 dB ct bells. "Low" is required. And gives a rsultat I've never received! Up Submitted I couraging this kind of sound recording with a minidisc. Sometimes with an mp3 recorder, equipped with a suitable microphone, a decent DBiT (192kbps). J'tais pretty happy with the rsultat. But with the H4, I spent a few notches above. If I do not tapped as many notes ct I could make a record from the sound without changing much!
    Last example: piano too much agreement. I do not have all the effect of "honky-tonk" I had with the MD.
    In short, I'm happy with my purchase trs.
    Next test: use the four tracks for a composition (being WRITING) for two organs, violin and bells (yes, I like how "great"). The project is to play each instrument personally: all fawns, the carillon is absolutely impossible to marry "in rel" the organ ... I do not get my dsepre for by the fall! The first tests are encouraging. A few foul-ups with mtronome, which if properly rgulier, does not stall on the steps, but Get You Started with reading. Not good ...
    Another criticism to the machine: it gnre files that all have the same date. Sometimes I do catch her later, without emptying my SD card. Obliged to archive all rcouter: All files are the same date. It does not matter ... but it's even Gnant.

    How long have you use it?
    1 month
    - What is so special that you like most and least?
    Best: it's very simple, it matters what you want, you plug the H4 on a guitar, an amp, it rolls. Connection with a PC and exchange of file: drag & drop without the fuss
    The least: the small buttons ....
    - How would you rate the quality / price?
    US compared to the price, € 285 a rip-off (ah competition!) But the unit is everything I hoped
    - With experience, you do again this choice? ..
    Rather than a thousand times. Great product for those who want a home studio pocket
