SETUP How to record with the Zoom H2n for Keertan (live music) 

One of the best Zoom H2N videos that I've seen.

purchased my Zoon H2N several years ago but never opened the box. Now I'm ready to record my short stories, thanks to you Keertan for your very instructional video.

I've just bought one of these and then realised I might find it complicated but I've learnt a lot from this, thanks.

Thank-you do much for this video! It's the only once I've seen about the H2n that tells me anything worth knowing. Keep up the good work!

I really appreciate the work you put into this. Thank you-so helpful!!

Paaji this is a brilliant video. Super informative ✊🏾

Thank you for making this! Shaney are the biggest problem - but putting the recorder in front of the feedback monitor like you said seems to work best in those situations. Looking forward to the editing/post-production tutorial!

Thanks for making this, it was very helpful and in depth!

Thanks, one of the best manual's about H2n Handy Recorder. Great teacher.

Your tutorial was the best. I learned something new!

This was great thanks! I just ordered an H2n, don't even have it in-hand yet but this answered my questions for sure -

This is what I was looking at... thanks for sharing..

Ok thank you for making this. I play the highland pipes and my instructor has been on me for yeeaaarrrsss to record my daily practice. I finally broke down and got something, this model. I’m still watching videos and learning how to use this. I won’t be doing any editing. Probably just recording 4 of my competition tunes daily. Then maybe loading them on to my PC. Thank you for the video

Awesome. Thank you.

Great. 🙏 thanks

If your recording from a mini disc music would you have to adjust volume for each song.whats a good bit etc for backing tracks.Tks Mike

Super helpful, I uses mine to record bluegrass and jam music!

Hey Singh! Where is the best way to store this recorder when your doing POV with Binaural sound headphones ?

Have you been able to hook that H2N direct to an iphone? Any advice there?

Hey! I just bought one of these. I'm planning on using with my Euphonium (it looks like a small tuba). The way I hold it is so that the bell is like at a 15-20° angle. Would you have any advice on where you'd place it with a brass instrument like this?

Is there anyway of this only recording line in?

What us the benefit of having a microphone connecting to H2n it as input

Hi I am using it but everytime I record in whatever of it channels and solo, etc. I listen in the background a sort of whistle that comes from my laptop fun which is very very low and it is disgusting. Then I don't know how to avoid, I just want to record my voice for Facebook live with a very good quality voice recording.

Great, thanks a lot. May I ask which kind of monopod you use?

Just ran across your video - it was very useful for me despite the fact that I have a quite different use case (never ever heard about "Keertan" until today - I obviously need to take a more in-depth look at this to close my cultural knowledge gap). However, I got my H2n recently and want to use it for voiceover and/or podcasting like recordings. For mono I use the MS mode by switching the side mics off completely - and then talk into the backside off the device. If I want to give it a little "room" I use XY for stereo and a clear focus on the voice talking into the mic. Works all perfectly fine to this point. The only thing I'm struggling with is the 'gain'. Your advice is to set the level so that the recording is in the area between -12 to -6 db. Talking with normal loudness and a distance of about one feet / 30 centimeters with gain of 8 I end up between -18 and -12. To get to -6 I have set the gain to the maximum of 10 or talk directly into the device (gain 8 but with a distance of only about 5cm). Do you observe the same behavior on your device? Any advice?!? Or is there maybe just something wrong with my own Zoom recorder?

if we taking voice output from mixer and giving to h2n input microphones still work after giving input to h2n ?

Great video, thank you for all the information! I just got an h2n but somehow it wont accept the sd card i bought (intenso sdhc 8gb class 10). Zoom has a list of compatible sd cards on their website but I have difficulties in finding these (elder) models in stock. Do you have a recommendation for a sd card that fits properly? Thanks!

Thanks for your video! Can you help me on choose one n these mics or an audio recorder like the zoom H1, I'm musician and I need something to record good audio quality but lightweight and not so expensive. The video is going to be catched with the phone, but don't know what option is better to acoustic spanish guitar and singing. Have a good day!

Hello, i m ovi from Bangladesh, i want record hindu harinaan kirtan, is this mic. Is best for me? When kirtaniyas doing there perform in a Stage they follow a circle. They perform in all side. Centre is free for god picture / Throne,If it's good then where do I put it? please explain the backup time & sound quality?

I know this video is a little old but ill give my question a shot, I have this zoom h2n and I also have the MOVO shot gun mic that you can plug right into a smartphone, when I plug/ connect the movo mic into the LINE IN on the zoom shouldn't I be able to control the gain on the zoom for the movo ?

HI! Can you help me? I have a same h2n, a tablet and that's it. I set up the gain under the destrosion level, i make the record and when i listen it back on a device, the volume is very low. How can i fix that problem? (i know a lot of people use zoom handy recorder and sound good, but i don't know what should i do different) Thanks your answer!

I use this microphone as an external microphone with my dslr camera. I’m trying to figure why I have so much “hum” or “hiss”. Can you help me?

Does anybody know if the sound quality on the Zoom Q2N-4K is similar or the same as this? I want this so bad, but the Q2N has a camera plus great sound quality, and it's basically the same, but I'm hesitating because the sound is very important to me too, because I'm a musician who wants to record my own voice and nature samples? Anybody have any feedback on this, or what you think?...SBN RESONATE

Sup man, could you help me with some advice? I get quite a lot of "white noise" and "frequencies" with the Zoom H2n. Anything I can do to make it capture less "white noise"? Thanks man.

So if i want to record myself for example do i need to hold it backwards?

One question... i am using an external mic connected to the Zoom H2n recorder. Is there a special setup that needs to be applied in order for the device to be able to capture the sound from the added mic, or it is all automatically pre-set? I am asking this because when i tapped the Zoom's mics when i was recording with the external mic i kinda felt some reading on the screen... Thanks in advance!!! :)

guide me we do kirtan in different homes some have very little space and little rooms and khartalan always very loud in small spaces what will be better option to record video with better audio ?

but,do you need an SD card before it records anything? as the SD card is not included in mine.

Do you need the SD card inserted to use as a USB microphone? Lost my SD card and ableton is not finding the mic. Don't know if I need new SD card or new USB cable

Does the H2N also have an option to record mono??

How do I get to record button to work?

Here's what I'm confused with, how are you supposed to see your db levels when recording on ms mode, because your looking and singing into the front of it? Would you have to record something first, see if it's ok, and then delete the recording?...SBN RESONATE

Thanks son!

Can I insert 64 GB SD card or more ?

Background music is very distracting, other than that, a very good presentation.

.WAV is pronounced WAVE
