0:28 Alternatively, you can also use the USB port to connect a battery power pack like the ones the people usually use for cellphones. When the power comes from the USB cable, the internal batteries are not used, but when the external power is switched off, the Zoom H2n _should_ automatically switch to the internal batteries, so with with two new batteries and an external power pack you should be able to make a continuous recording of more than a day.
Finally made sense! Thanks for being concise, straight to the point. Explained it in simple easy to understand language. Thanks heaps for this. Finally sorted it out.
THIS RECORDER IS A LOT MORE COMPLICATED THAN OTHER RECORDERS IVE USED. IM STILL STRUGGLING WITH THIS. SO FAR THIS MANS VIDEO IS THE BEST ONE IVE COME ACROSS SO FAR BUT I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PLAY WHEEL IS. IF I WAS DOING A VIDEO LIKE THIS, I WOULD TALK SLOW AND GO REAL SLOW, BUT THEN, IM OLD, SO IM PROBABLY SLOWER THAN MOST OTHER PPL.
THIS SOUND RECORDER IS COMPLICATED AS I TOLD SOMEONE ELSE. I LL PROBABLY HAVE TO GO OVER THIS VIDEO AGAIN PLUS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS RECORDER IS JUST NOT STRAIGHT FORWARD LIKE OTHER VOICE RECORDERS I HAVE HERE WHERE YOU CAN JUST SEE THE PLAY AND RECORD BUTTON AND PRESS THEM ON AND OFF.
Thanks for the video! Which microphone setting would you recommend for recording exhaust sounds with the h2n as an separate mivrophone while riding motorcycle? I'd wrap the h2n in foam and pack ist sturdy in a backpack or somewhere at the motorcycle.
Thank you very much for this video ,I am a 67 year old idiot , who has decided to try and record my singing and guitar playing , curiosity lol, this has helped as I have just bought a zoom H2n ,thanks for posting , very good video, from Garry in the UK
But it gets worse. I also have the Zoom H6 with accocoirs in a nice box. I have used it 6 times at most. I took it out for a production this week and it has become unusable and also unsellable. The entire soft plastic covering has dissolved and lies over it like a sticky layer of honey. When you grab it, you can hardly get the Zoom H6 off your hands. Of course I was not planning on telling that everywhere on the internet. But I did report it properly to Zoom headquarters in Europe. But they simply do not give you a response. So then I warn people everywhere on RU-vid that Zoom makes rubbish.
Some time ago Zoom released a *new firmware version* (3.00). This adds a third recording mode to the existing X/Y and M/S modes: SPATIAL. This can be used for adding surround sound to 360° videos. The software can be downloaded here: www.zoom-na.com/products/field-video-recording/field-recording/zoom-h2n-handy-recorder#downloads
Do you know if this unit is suitable for capturing quality audio for amateur adult videos? Subjects would be about 4 feet away? I'm not very tech-savvy and am wondering if it will pick up the sound like the directional mic I use on my dslr or leave us sounding like we are too far away from the mic.
What am I doing wrong here ? . I record a file and it plays back immediately no problem, can be heard with or without earphones. Switch off. Switch back on . Attempt to playback. Go to Menu. then FILE MENU. , then FOLDER, then FILE. select audio file , press PLAY button in. N0 audio file plays - I get a screen which lists - INFORMATION, NORMALIZE, MARK LIST, STEREO ENCODE, DELETE, DELETE ALL, I have wasted hours trying to solve this problem. Also playback volume is set at 100 but can barely hear it without head phones. HELP !!!
This looks like a good operational video . Being old, I'm not too familiar with anything digital, so this tutorial looks perfect for me. I will check you out later, when I figure out how to get the battery cover off.
When you have recorded an audio file and play it back, should you be able to hear it without being attached to the computer ? If so what is the sequence to hear a recording direct from an unattached H2n ?
Do not use the H2n. This bad device is very sensitive to contact noise. Even lightly touching the cable of your headphones sounds like a drum solo to your ears. When you put it on the table and someone taps against the table leg, you hear an African drum band come into the room ... Not recommended.
@@ricardo.schaefermeier LOL, I have about 36 different big and small tripods. Nothing works. It is a drama device. The only thing that works is to unplug all the cables during recording (or connect a system with a wireless headset to it). As for a tripod, the only solution is to hang it freely in the air, possibly on a tripod but with a very weak elastic band of 15 cm long so that every tap is absorbed by a weak yo-yo.
As an instruction you’re not showing good knowledge of sound recording when only recording in the left channel. Also, the H2n comes with two AA batteries, not as you say. Some of the other tips were good enough.
