Great videos Curtis, thanks for doing these reviews on audio recorders. I have taken interest into recording live rock concerts and have been looking into stereo recorders between the $100-200 range. In this video you mention this recorder's input levels may not be able to be turned down enough for loud recordings due to the pre-amps, I was wondering if you have a list of audio recorders you would recommend for rock concerts (even beyond the price range mentioned above). Recently the Olympus LS-P4 has arrived on the market (to replace the LS-100 model) advertising as great "better than CD quality" recorder, this claim is backed by the device having 3 microphones equipped to capture 20Hz-20kHz audio files which are stored as FLAC. Could you perhaps review this audio recorder? thanks

Great review. I picked up the H1n to do ASMR and outdoor ambient sound videos (tight budget). I'm very happy with the audio quality for the price. However, it does pick up a lot of noise. Also, it doesn't quite have the deep binaural sound that I'm looking for, so I'm hoping an external mic will help fill in the gaps. Some triggers sound great with just the H1n, though.

I need something for Shortfilm purposes, so ideally it should be able to record the voice of one person or more people at the same time plus sound effects. Would it be suitable for this purpose? Naturally I'm gonna need to move much while filming. I don't really wanna spend more than that since I'm only doing it for a hobby. Oh and what's the maximum distance for good recording? Thanks for the video.

@curtisjudd

5 жыл бұрын

Hi, yes, this can do the job. Like any other microphone, you need to get the microphones close to the sound source. For example for dialogue recording, I boomed the H1n just in front and above me, just barely out of the frame. When you try to record dialogue from, say, 6 feet away, it'll pick up a bunch of ambient noise. So just get creative and get that microphone/recorder close. It'll get the job done nicely.

Has to be said Tascam have been really good with adding new firmware features to this and related devices. Always inspires confidence, when a company keeps adding features like this, to what is essentially an inexpensive device, without just bringing out new models which "replace" the old one in short time. That we can get this sort of quality, and feature sets in such reasonably priced gear these days, is amazing! PS. And thanks once again, for your excellent reviews and guides.

Excellent video. The "digital attenuator below 3.5" was a great detail, as I tried using the h1n to record from a line out connection (quite loud compared to a mic input). Even when the levels showed that the peaks were at -12dB, there was noticeable distortion. Increasing the zoom gain to 5 and reducing the volume of the source fixed it! Not sure why the manual says "line input" when it cant work fine with such higher levels.

Line level is about 1,000 times stronger than mic level. You should use an inline attenuator to take Line level audio down to Mic level. Somewhere between -25db and -40db will do the trick.

Hi DBoom70, thanks for the input. The tone is used to sync when you have the output on the H1n running to your camera's mic input. After you have started recording on the camera and H1n, you press the tone button and that creates a sync point which you can use in post to line up the audio and video. Most video editing apps automate this for you. Which app do you use to edit?
