Onboard Mid-Side decoding Review: Comparison with Tascam DR100 - My target application was for live recording of piano, voice and guitar. Also I wanted to use the device to help with practice with the variable tempo function. I have a full mixing rig and high end condensers, but I sometimes just want to record without the hassle and setup. I also purchased the Tascam DR-100 which is the main competing model to the H4n. I tested both for voice, piano and guitar having them record the same performance simultaneously positioned just adjacent to one another. I had my family then listen through speakers and headphones in a blinded test. There are pros and cons with both recorders. *LIVE Recording Built-in Microphones: The H4n is the clear winner; my completely untechnical family picked the H5n recordings every time- the soundfield plus the high quality mics make for hauntingly good recordings, vocals sounded incredible; the Tascam seems to have very low gain and a drier sound- competent, but without the rich sound of the Zoom. *LIVE recording acoustic electric guitar: H4n is clear winner, you can combine the built in mics with direct input from the guitar pickup for a 4 track recording, or use the mics for vocal while plugging the guitar (or 2 guitars, or guitar/bass) directly into the zoom. The Tascam is just not good for soft acoustic recording. *LIVE recording external mics: The Zoom seems to have more gain in the mic amps- both can work well for this, but I prefer the Zoom for the higher gain and possibility of 4channel recording. If you are using external mics, you'll probably use a mixing board anyway, but if you are not, then the better mic gain comes in handy. *DIRECT recording through line in: The Tascam DR-100 has a slight edge here, I recorded high resolution audio from SA-CD or DVD-audio, the Tascam is slightly more faithful to the source but both sounded very very good. Noise was not an issue with either. *TEMPO SHIFT: Very useful practice tool, allows slowing down or speeding up recordings without changing pitch: Both can slow the recording down by 50%; both are usable but the sound of the Tascam DR-100 is somewhat better when slowed down, but both are compromised. The Zoom does have a greater range of adjustment for increased tempo, an additional 40% I believe. FORM Factor/Battery life: The Tascam is a little wider and boxier and just doesn't work as well to hold in the hand. The battery life for both is excellent, but the Zoom definitely uses less power and includes the AC adapter. The Tascam includes a remote control, the zoom remote is about $30. The plastic hard case with the zoom is very usable. CONCLUSION Well those were the important issues for me. The live recordings were just too nice from the Zoom for me to pick the Tascam, though I preferred the Tascam menu system and appearance, and its much simpler file handling/naming. If I were buying one just as a portable 2 track tape deck replacement, I'd get the Tascam. For amazing live recording with built in mics, I pick the H4n. Review: Great field recorder - I own both the H1 and H4n and I love them both. The H4n is a great versatile field recorder. I mainly use it to record audio for live event video such as weddings and speaking engagements. The H4n is a work horse. It has a ton of features and records in a number of different formats. I highly recommend purchasing a "furry head" wind screen for the unit as the foam wind screen included is not for out door use. Unlike the H1 design that has a hard protective ring around the microphones, the H4n leaves the microphones exposed in order to capture the purest sound possible in live and studio applications. However, be aware that because of the exposed microphone design the external mics are prone to breaking off if the unit is dropped. I had this happen once. If this happens to you, don't worry. I searched the internet and was able to find several Zoom certified service centers within my general area. I called the closest service center, spoke with a repairman and shipped the H4n off and the mic was replaced under warranty; I didn't pay a dime. I had it shipped off and back in 7 days. All in all the H4n is a great field recorder. I mainly use it in 4 channel mode. 4 Chanel mode allows me to record from both external microphones as well as the two XLR inputs at the same time. In some cases I also use a small 4 Channel Behringer field mixer if I have to run more than 2 lavalier microphones. Running straight from the mixer outputs to the H4n works perfectly. I do suggest some accessories when using the H4n. As I said earlier, purchase a "furry head" wind screen. I use the furry head wind screens every time I record outdoors and they completely eliminate wind noise. I only use 32gb Sandisk SD cards because Sandisk is dependable, I have never ever had one fail in all my years of recording. I record at 48K @ 16bits in .wav format which tends to create a lot of data when at live events so 32gbs is large enough to record over 20hours at that sampling rate. This allows me to keep old audio clips on the card for a while after recording them and is a safety net in case I forget to transfer the audio files along with video when I edit. I also suggest having a DI box on hand in the event you may have to run a line out from someone else's mixer. I have had issues with digital clipping and over saturated sound when running a feed without a DI Box from venue mixers. This has to do with a balance and padding that I am just not going to get into but trust me, a DI box is the simplest and surest fix for these issues. I also suggest getting a small portable mixer in case you have to run more than 2 microphones when at live events. Always be prepared. I use rechargeable Duracell AA batteries and I have never had any issues. Battery life is between 6-8 hours when the unit is left on, and 3-4 hours when left powered on and recording. I do not regret this purchase at all. The H4n is a handy little studio on the go and is very dependable. I highly recommend purchasing one. ## Features - Four-channel recording up to 24-bit, 96 kHz.

Thanks.** A: That's a bit too close for a truly homogenous sound IMO. When I first bought it I tried placing it in front of the crowd close to the stage and it ended up favoring the closest instruments too much. Moving it to the back of the room resulted in a more accurate sound for critiquing purposes. Unfortunately back there it also picks up coughs, chatter and loud clappers as well. I've determined that to use it on, or in front of the stage, you need to mix at least four evenly spaced mics to get well balanced sound. Additionally, post production editing is almost mandatory to clean up the sound. This is a sensitive system. Air conditioning systems, room acoustics and loud clapping close to the mics will drive you crazy if you are a perfectionist. Download Audacity for free and start learning it. Learn about hard limiting, compression, notch filters, noise reduction and level adjustments first. Don't overdo any changes you make. Use headphones to monitor your edits. In no time you will be able to quickly work magic on your sound tracks and make them sound much better then the raw file direct from the Zoom. These are just some hints learned the hard way from an ex-noob! Using the Zoom is easy. Squeezing the most out of it takes a little bit longer! **Q: Is it possible to record all 4 channels and end up with 4 separate files?** A: It can record 4 channels simultaneously in 4 channel mode, but only to two stereo tracks and not 4 separate mono tracks and not one stereo track plus 2 separate mono tracks. So, you can use the the two XLR inputs plus the XY inputs for four tracks. Only two of those channels will be in stereo the other two in mono. **Q: Is it good for recording piano?** A: I have 6 of these and record jazz with them. Here is an example of a piano solo recorded with the H4n. Jeff Barnhart is playing Fats Waller's stride piano composition...Handful of keys. The sound quality is far better than the Tascam DR50 that I used to ownhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dg_gZJpQZU **Q: Im still dont know what to get h4n pro or h5n help !!!!** A: I have been in these situation for few days before I finally decide to buy H4n pro. H5n has changeable mic module, analog input knobs and that is all the big difference. In H5N, there is a mic module that enables you to get 2 xlr inputs, total of 4 xlr. Performance, sound quality and reliability are all thesame. This is my opinion based on research and Iv'e owned one of the two. ## Customer Reviews ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Comparison with Tascam DR100 *by M***Z on February 28, 2010* My target application was for live recording of piano, voice and guitar.
