Mixing L and R also reduces the noise, because each channel has different noise and it averages signal when combined.

What continues to amaze me is the sound quality of such very inexpensive devices. It is a matter of microphone / device placement and technique, nine times out of ten.

Try connecting the usb mic to your pc like you normally would, and connect the headphone out of the usb mic to the line in of the zoom h1n using an Aux cable (3.5 mm to 3.5 mm).

Yes if you have one and not in the mood to buy a proper mic for voice (for podcast, livestream, classes, voiceover... - a cardioid mic) it can "do it" but you have to treat the audio (or "polish crap"), as this zoom gear is mainly designed as an ambient recorder, it is very sensitive and captures very detailed and loud ambient noise. If you are not using it on an acoustic isolated room and have a very very quiet PC, the recording is gonna contain very loud ambience, even stuff happening far away (car, bus passing, dogs barking, birds. etc..), your PC cooler is gonna sound like a jet engine probably...

You are my hero! Great and inspiring videos. I purchased an H1N recently and have made my audio better already. Thanks for all the tips!

You can also speak to just one capsule pointed at you, and discard the other capsule's signal. So in order to get mono, you don't need to mix the channels together, which sometimes creates phase issues (even though the capsules are really close together).

Dude..You are always the go to guy for H1n ..Whenever I get some doubt or issue with my H1n...I open KZread and search " Julian Krause H1n "

Big thanks, stuck in lockdown with only my H1. this was exactly what i needed to know.

Thanks Julian for this video, it helps me decide what to use to record my narrations. Zoom H1n is my first dedicated audio recorder, it is intimidating to use at first but I eventually clawed it with the help of your beginners guide. Although, you don't consider this device as a pro, my narration took a giant leap of improvement when I switch from my phone to Zoom H1n.

WOW ! I CAME TO FIND WHY MY VOICE HAS POP UPS AND I GOT THE ANSWER IN LESS OF 1 MIN. GREAT JOB MY FRIEND THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I just bought a Pop Filter, about 7USD and I also bought a "Neewer Black Ball Type Foam Windscreen Pop Filter for Condenser Microphone" I have cars going past and recording hypnosis/nlp/coaching tracks for higher end executive clients but cars go past every now and then, even late at night #($*% so I'm hoping I can set it up, then put the Ball Type over it rather than just the pop filter. I specifically use left and right speaker/tracks. THANK YOU JK for mentioning how going Mono can have that effect over Stereo!!! Gold

That’s a great solution for quick VO’s while traveling. Wish I would’ve seen this two days ago! 🤦🏽‍♂️ I just ordered an h8 to lug around with a mic. I mean it’s still going to be beneficial in the long run, but I could’ve waiting a few more months on it. Oh well. Now I know

I just ordered my H1n yesterday. As much as I'd like to support local Aussie sellers I couldn't pass up the AliExpress price. AU$60 cheaper than Aussie Amazon. About AU$120 cheaper than US Amazon. Downside is slow deliver, 20-40 days.

Hey, thank you for your good explanation. I learned from it.I wounder if Ican ask you about using the zoom h1 recorder like a nec mike on person who is in movement and there is the wind matter that is a problem and also what setting to use for this need? thank you. Smadar.

We were surprised at how good the H1n is. You can use a pop filter or save money by putting on a wind shield (dead cat) as the wind shield will work indoors and out. Once you get the setting right the H1n does a very good job. It feels a bit cheap and nasty but don't judge a book by its cover. We have also been experimenting with mics and have found that expensive microphones aren't necessary for great sound. We have a dead cheap Huxley $14 mic that we got from Aldi and we have combined that with a Scarlett Solo pre-amp. We use Audacity to capture audio for voice-over and we are getting results that seem to be as good as using a Rode Procaster (which needs a pre-amp in order to work).

Excellent vid! You just earned a sub from me! Great job!

So Julian, what is your preferred equipment for podcast voice over? Thank you for this informative youtube video on how to use the Zoom H1N.

Julian thanks for the video. could you please show us the post production workflow. thanks a lot.

How do you deal with really strong plosives? I find that even with the windscreen and a pop filter on top of that, it's a little sensitive to my Ps, so I need to be extra careful about my positioning and distance from the recorder. Great mic capsules though and the quality sounds stellar.

Where can I get a pop filter like that which attaches to the zoom or tascam?

Thanks for the video! I am waiting for my h1n and they are really useful. Do you think a windscreen instead of a pop filter would be enough to make more or less decent voiceovers? Or would it be a huge step down from the pop filter?

Whether a foam cover is enough really depends on how close the mic is to you and how heavy your plosives are. I mean, a foam cover is better than nothing but a real pop filter in front of the mics is going to be even more effective.

What program do you use for editing sound wav and movie together?

Instead of the pop filter, will the fuzzy things that go on each zoom mic work for the same purpose?

All my videos were made with zoom H1. Pretty decent recorder.

Be aware not all cards will work in H1n. Received kodak card with my package deal, it needed formatting every time I switched it on, which also wiped all recordings, rather inconvenient to backup to another drive before switching off. I bought SanDisk card which works fine. Apart from that, no problem with the Zoom. If you are prepared to accept that a jewel can be made from plastic, that's the H1n.

Hi, I have a zoom H1n which when connected to windows 10 does not pickup an audio signal. I had the ASIO driver updated reinstalled etc but windows or Audacity does not pic up a signal. Other USB mics work fine from the same USB port. I am also able to transfer files and the computer detects the Zoom H1n's SD card. I would appreciate any advice you can give me as DELL tech support is clueless.

Perfect coverage of topic. Hyper vloggers could learn a lot from you if they took the time to listen instead of talking.

There might be slight differences depending on the material of the popfilter. But these differences are very minimal. The one you can see in the video was the cheapest one I could find and it works great. :) The placement of the popfilter does make the most difference. Don't put it right on top of the mic. Leave at least a 2 inch gap between the mic and the popfilter and it will work well.

Hi Julian, Thanks for the tutorials. What do you use on your laptop to transfer the files on to? Audacity? or something else? What I really want to achieve is to know how to record my voice with some background music. Is that possible to do? Warmest wishes

Great information! So for this voiceover application, you think it is better to combine the Left and Right into mono, rather than simply using one of the two, and deleting the other channel?

@JulianKrause

5 жыл бұрын

I would sum the left and right channels together because you are usually aiming the H1n directly at you. The mics on the H1n are in a XY configuration. For each microphone a sound source straight in front of the H1n, is at 45 degrees off axis. If you only listen to one channel it should give you more ambient noise. If you sum left and right together, they will result in a polar pattern which is on axis with the H1n. So, combining the left and right mic should result in slightly less ambient noise. Additionally combining the left and right channel will reduce the self-noise of the mics by about 3dB.

@@JulianKrause You wrote that one uses both of the two mics 45 degrees off axis as he/she aims the H1n like in the video when the whole device is directed to the mouth and this is quite true. Therefore, it would be better to use one of the two mics on axis i.e. directing that mics in the direction of the mouth and use only the corresponding channel of the stereo signal.

Please make a review of the H1n used as Audio Interface in a DAW ( like Ableton live 10 ) for use with 64/128 samples 44khz/24bit so I can have a reference what is the latency. Nobody is doing this, i've searched everywhere. I have a small laptop of 11.6inch from 2014, intel N3530 cpu laptop with 4GB ram and want to use it with a midi keyboard on stage using some VSTs like Arturia V collection or something similar, I want to know how bad would the latency be if I used the Zoom H1n instead of the built in soundcard. The lower I go in samples the smaller the latency but the greater the risc of crackles and sound generally breaking. I know that, also I know that differs from one VST to another, depending on the CPU load it generates. Would love to see the H1n in action at least. thank you for reading through this far :)))
