I was searching everywhere trying to figure out why my shotgun mic was not being recognized. You are the only person who explains turning on the Phantom power. Everything works now!

I cannot express what a wealth of knowledge this video is. Thanks so much - great explanations and pointers!

Another realistic test and "how-to". Thank-you for your time. Good job.

just got new Mac mini m1 and needed audio interface since my old gear uses firewire.. just happened to have the H6 I use for film/video.. now you showed me I can work for my audio stuff. Life saver bro! Thanks a million!

Awesome breakdown. I'm all in for h6. Once I saw the guitar in, it was over. Great work.

Brilliant! I was thinking that I would need to buy an interface, mic, etc., separately. This solves it for me. It's also portable too!

Thank you so much! I got the zoom for my birthday and currently try to figure it out for recording my street music :)

Great video. Excellent explaining. You saved my day.

Thanks so much, I never realized how awesome this H6 can be!

Nice setup if your getting into recording. Thank you for the explanation and making this video very easy to understand. I'm also looking at options Zoom L12- L20 for live recording but also the recording onto SD card at the same time the signal is sent with the DAW.

Thank you! I saved money by buying for recording and as an interface for my DAW.

Superb video and thank you! You just saved me a pot of cash knowing I can use my H6 as an audio interface for guitar etc 👍✌️

Perfect. Thank you for the video. I was about to buy the Rode complete studio kit with interface but this has shown me that I don’t need to. Great video and I’m sure I’ll come back to it again. 👍

Great explanation and video. Just what I needed

I love this damn thing, it’s like the Swiss Army knife of recording devices, but with very few compromises. I have a far more expensive Apollo interface but I find that I use this more often just because it’s so versatile.

Thanks a lot. i been looking for this a lot of time

Whew! Thanks for this. The info that I needed was at 6:18 - how to turn the freaking microphone on! Much appreciated.

very helpful and to the point. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for this information! I've been trying to use my zoom h6 as an audio interface in pro tools using a pc for 2.5 years, but it never worked. After using a mac for 14 years and it running seamlessly I've gotten so many gray hairs trying to get it working on pc, but ended up frustrated after the DAW kept crashing and crashing. I had nearly given up and was about to sell my pc to purchase another mac, when I tried switching to only using the stereo input and only using battery mode on the zoom to power it today. And VOILA it works! Thanks for a great video , it made me rethink the entire thing :)

Thanks, simple and helpful.

We have two! this is an amazing fix!

Excellent video, I just got my H6 the other day, I’ve yet to plug it into my PC(I’m traveling), but your video was crystal clear. Thanks for this video!

I agree, this was fun to try and yeh it did work. Can i ask a question? I am looking for a rack where i can mount the zoom and two rodelink so i can be portable on my shoots, do you have any recommendations? saw a bunch of videos but they are too cumbersome. Thanks

@BenoniStudio

I don't use a rack so I can't say. I'll use a U shaped stabilizing handle sometimes like this one kzread.info/dash/bejne/e2qss5KLebu1orw.html you can put a triple hotshoe adapter on the top mount and be pretty portable.

amazing love this device.

Thank you for sharing, it was very useful info....

bro, I love you! Thank you so much!

Thank you for the great video instruction. It's so helpful in my learning. I have a question I can't find an answer to: Can the Zoom H6 act as a mixing board, not recording, but sending multiple tracks from the computer out to multiple speakers? I'm asking for a sound installation, as I'm not sure I'll need to find more equipment for it, other than my Zoom H6. Thank you!

Good job on the video. Thank you.

Good video... many thanks!!!

thanks great vid

Perfect. Thanks alot.

Very helpfuul!

Thank you for the tutorial. I'm planning to get this. I have audio issues on my microphone.

Thanks for your Tutorial. I'd really like to know what you use to get the H6 upright on your micstand.

Very nice! Thank you! :)

Yeah it should be the same. But you don't need to use it as an audio interface unless you want to record to a DAW instead of the SD card. If you are not livestreaming it and need computer sound, the best way is to use it standalone IMO. Transfer the files to a DAW for comp, eq, limiting, etc... and upload and/or sync to video.

Hi! Great video, Im just wondering if you had any problem with the latency? Thnks!

Very good tutorial. Thanks. What is the name of the apps you use for guitar amp? DOes it come with Pro Tools?

Awesome video! I just got my h6, and I'm not hearing any output. I'm recording with logic pro x, and it detects the device but is not producing any output. Do I need an SD card even if I'm not recording onto it?

Very cool

Hero status~!! Thanks so much~ XX

Thank you for the information, I only have a question. When you explain about recording what is happening inside the zoomH6 is more like in an external device. How can I do if I can monitor my microphones but I can´t record it in ProTools 10, the waveform is flat and it doesn´t reflect what I´m Listening, is mandatory to have a second interface? I think is not normal. Again thank you for the help.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the video. I try to use H5 as multi track audio interface, but I can only get 2 instead of 4. Any suggestions? Thank you\

This very helpful, big thanks for that Trying to figure out same with the Android mobile, as I can connect to as interface thorough OTG. But than, how I can get the sound out? i.e for meetings/conferencing on Android, I would like to use H6 for broadcasting and also want to get out sound from participants to let's say headphone or speakers. Not for the recording especially but live conversation by the help of H6. Have you done this setup?

When I hit the SetUp section I don't see the I/O section just below the Hardware and Playback Engine setion, how can I manage to see that interface...?

VERY2 GOOD INTERFACE,

I would like to know if I can connect it to the computer for streaming and also to record on the recorder at the same time?

I connected my iPad to H6 and using a 1/8" male to dual XLR male cable and recorded a song from a DAW app on iPad into H6 but the sound came out mono. The sound on my iPad from the DAW app when listened through headphones plugged into iPad is clearly a stereo as I have an stereo audio song track in it but when recorded to H6, it records mono. I tried both 320 KBPS in MP3 format, 24 bit/48 kHz WAV format and also 24 bit/96 kHz WAV formats with no luck. Also, listened to the recorded audio on the card on my Mac but it still sounds crappy and mono. Can you please help me how to record the sound in stereo exactly as how it sounds on the iPad?

Hi , I have an analogue Mackie 1642 VLZpro , I also have the ZoomH6 , would it be best to purchase the EH6 adaptor to give me 6 XLR inputs for using with Ableton as an audio device ?ie keeping all the inputs the same? Much appreciated ✌️

Random question. I just want to use this with Audacity to record acoutstic guitar using its x/y capsule as its mic. I do have it working and only using Stero Mix since I wont be using any of the other 4 inputs. I got it working by plugging it into my Window Laptop and then just using the menu and selecting Stereo Mix. But i got a question since I am a bit of a novice about this stuff, I did not download the ASIO drivers, and was just wondering if I need to download it to record stuff on Audacity (using just the mic channel). (edit) - So based one what I read online, ASIO makes recording sound better (i think). However, It looks like audacity does not support ASIO.

Nice. How about with LogicPro?

There is no way to connect it PC faster? Just for one click, like usual audio interface, without choosing in Zoom menu stereo mix\mtrack etc settings? Fast connect, and than if I need some special, to choose it in Zoom menu?

Im trying to connect my zoom h4n with fl or ableton, do i have to download a zoom driver in the pc?

Thx for your video. When I want to use interface usb mode, Multi track, but 96kHz, does not give me the option. Only when ai select Sd Card reader, Any thoughts?

what is the bit depth and sample rate of the Zoom h5 when it is used as an audio interface? can the quality compete with focusrite solo?

So you can get a feed from the top mic and the xlr inputs simultaneously as a USB interface? I.E. using it as a mic and feed for my dj set up at the same time in obs for streaming? Seems like none of the predecessors can do that, including the h5. Is that correct?

Thanks for the video. I use an USB power adapter to supply the power on this H6 for phantom powered multiple mics, since the mics would exhaust very quickly on the four batteries. In this case I lost the opportunity to use the device as an audio interface since they're all coming from one USB port on H6. Any solution for that? Are they exclusive to each other by this design or there may be a way to do this that I don't know? Thank you!

I'm at the very moment when I'm just starting to gather information about a video podcast. I need two medium quality microphones for starters, 2 pairs of headphones I have from sennheiser and a camera to film full hd on sd card 45 minutes or maximum one hour. My question is if I could use the BM 800 Condenser microphone with Zoom h6 input to get quality sound and the h6 zoom output at the microphone input in a camcorder? Thank you

which mic you use to record this tutorial thanks.

I tried using my brand new H6 as a audio interface, but it was buzzing like anything. Any idea what I should do?

Hi! Can we use both headphone out as well as line out simultaneously in multitrack interface mode?

I'm gonna need some help with this... I set my H6 to usb interface, multi track mode, and when launching Pro Tools 12, I get some device buffer size error that won't let me open the DAW. I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64 bits. Driver is downloaded... I'm quite frustrated already

Can I just multitrack record on it and then export the tracks in my daw? I would love to play and record a few battery powered synths outdoors

Thanks!!! :)

What USB Power adapter is compatible with the h8?

But regarding latency,,, if you lower the buffer and play the guitar, is the delay noticable? The scarlett and Steinberg's have asio drivers that get delay down to 10ms which is not noticable. Can the h5 get to a non noticable level. At a 40ms latency for example I can play 2 notes on guitar before I hear the first. I see you talked about noticable delay, but can you eliminate that in the h5 playing with the buffer.

Thanks. I need a new interface. Was going to get a focusrite but now I'm thinking a zoom

I currently have my laptop connected to a tascam model 12 and my pro tools is set up for the model 12 as the interface. I would like to use my h6 for recording my bands practice sessions away from my studio. Would I be able to switch between the model 12 and h6 on the same pro tools sessions?

In most reviews people comment that there is poor noise floor, a buzzing sound. Is this your experience when using the USB interface, recording?

Thank you! A question, if you record, using a few mikes, to the SD card, in the SD card you get just a stereo mix, or you get all the tracks separated to use in a DAW?

@BenoniStudio

You can use the Zoom H6 as a standalone recorder. If you were to use 4 microphones recorded to the SD card you would get 4 discreet channels. Meaning, the tracks are separate. An example would be you are using the Zoom H6 to record a podcast with 3 people total. You are using the XY mic and 3 mic's. The XY mic would capture the whole "scene", and would be a stereo track. Then, EACH microphone would capture the voice of the 3 podcasters INDIVIDUALLY, so you would have total control in POST of each persons microphone. This is a multi-track recorder. Does that answer your question?

What it'll be if I'm using USB and 6 input pahntom power of 48v. Would the battery drain or It'd be survive by USB power?

If your using the H6 as an interface, does it not charge the H6 because its already plugged in to the computer?

Can the XLR interfaces be set-up to take input at line-level? I ask because the rode wireless go receivers only output at line-level. Line level output @ 3.5mm > 3.5mm to XLR converter > line-level XLR to H6. Possible??

My Macbook wouldn't detect. Went to the website but there are no drivers for mac. Any workarounds ?

I can´t find I/O menu in Pro Tools First´s menu.. why?

Thanks for the Video! I ask myself how it´s working with Ableton and if there is a lot of latency from the device? I´m currently using and small Apogee Duet and the two channels are not enough for me. Not sure about if I should sell the Duet and buy the H6? Sometimes it´s good for recording a rehearsal but also I´m geting more interested in sound design and sampling nature sounds for a library and my music. What do you think?

I don't usually use the Zoom H6 as an audio interface. I will sometimes, but usually I'll use a more traditional interface like the Komplete Audio 6 or PreSonus 1824c or Focusrite 6i6, etc... It's great that it can be used as an interface, and it's also good for podcasting. What I really like about it is how mobile it is. There are no instrument pre-amps in the Zoom, so you'll need a DI box if you are using guitars or a bass with passive pickups.

Do you know if this work with M1 Macs as well?

great,iam really strugling trying to connect my zoom h6 with cubase,can someone help me out

Wait. So this can be your sound card and also a microphone?

Can you turn on sound effect while using zoom h6 as an audio interface?

Hi there, what do you think about sound card processors and converters. Suitable for mixing is it ok. Should i buy a better sound card

Perhaps he doesn’t really understand what you’re asking. If you’re wondering about using this device with a sound card, you don’t really need to, as it is its own sound card, when plugged in through usb. Your motherboard’s soundcard should be good enough to process the internal audio (the stuff your daw or computer are generating), though a higher end sound card will obviously sound better. Still, plugging this into a PC, you’re plugging it into the usb, so you don’t have to worry about whether or not your computer sound card is going to add noise to your recordings.

Cool is this good for Sound effects

Thanks.

2:12 you can use the power through your USB and NOT batteries even when using phantom powered mics without a problem. I've tested it

Can anyone tell me how I can plug my monitor speakers into the zoom H6 when using it as an audio interface? Cheers!

Hey, hello from the future, you solved a mystery for me which was "why can't I hear what my daw is playing" solution at 4:22, set the windows output audio to use the H6 thank you

So I’m trying to record Mac audio and 2 mic inputs how do I do this
