zaplafrapSuper recorder
Published on 09/27/10 at 07:52 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I use the H4n for over a year without a hitch. After recording over 15 concerts and recitals with it, I always find it to perform well. It is small and convenient to use and you don't need to rack your brains regarding the parameter, with only a single button to push at the crucial moment of recording. On the other hand, I would not recommend using it with the handle, too much noise is introduced. For my recordings, I screwed on a tripod, very stable which is immune to vibration and stirrings coming from a restless audience.
Excellent price for the limited budget of small studios.00

I have been using a MD Recorder (Mini Disc) for a long time
and to record in WAV or MP3 that is great to upload directly to a PC
Good stuff although a bit heavy00- Alex081
Excellent value for price

Very ergonomic and comprehensive for the amateur, only its preamps are a bit light (it's not the Nagra, but it's not the same price either) but largely sufficient in most cases: It was for its price!
After firmware update can now independently control the levels of the 2 external inputs, it is important to say!
It lacks a true protective cover for transport ...so it's important to invest a protective covering for outside use (skin type such as Redhead or Rycotte)

Mode and stamina in MTR mode is not always possible to record in MP3 but hey, personally I don't care: If you pay for quality is not to record in degraded mode!
Criticism? Er ... Ah yes: the output line is also the headphone jack. Provide an adapter to double it if necessary. Apart from that it's all good!
See less10 - Audiofanzine FRPublished on 01/03/11 at 07:15I've been using it as a sound notebook since I bought it: I record everything when I play guitar or synth so that I can keep my ideas and improve them afterward.
I also record my rock band but it's more difficult to get a balance between instruments. It's a convenient product.
It's my first portable recorder and I'm very satisfied with it.
Things I like least: all the small gadgets I don't use (amp simulation, etc.). They sound digital but could become useful one day.
Based on my experience, I would buy it again. Before you decide to buy such a product, you have to know what you plan to do with it.

Based on my experience, I would buy it again. Before you decide to buy such a product, you have to know what you plan to do with it. It won't replace a computer with a good sound card to record every instrument separately with Sonar, for example... But you can record anything... for instance the sound of the sea. Afterward, you can mix the sound with pictures from of your camera. It's small so you can take it anywhere... It's a valuable tool for composers.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you need more information... Otherwise, you can read the user's manual on the web. A last comment: the integrated speaker sounds awful but the sound is great with a pair of headphones.
