The Zoom H4n Digital Recorder

from Podcasting News by James Lewin

Zoom has introduced the next generation in its handheld audio recorder line, the H4n.

Zoom’s H4n features built-in X/Y stereo condenser mics that allow variable recording patterns at either 90° or 120°. Other new features include digitally controlled high-quality mic preamps and the ability to use internal and external mics simultaneously, for 4-channel recording. The H4n records audio at up to 24bit/96kHz on SD/SDHC media of up to 32GB and syncs via USB 2.0.

The H4n has features to help it handle real-world mobile recording, including a rubberized, shock resistant body, all-metal microphone design and a built-in mounting joint for tripod and mic stand use.

For musicians and songwriters, the H4n offes multi-track recording capability along with Hi-Z Inputs for recording guitar and bass, variable speed playback capability for “phrase training”, onboard studio effects, and over 50 guitar and bass amp modeling settings. In addition, a new stamina mode enables the H4n to operate for 10 hours continuously on a single set of AA batteries.

The package includes a 1 GB SD card, wind screen, mic clip adapter, AC adapter, USB cable, protective case and Cubase LE recording software. An optional remote control is also available.

Could have used this when mine were wee babes

Of course, instead of people stopping to say "awwwww... what a cute baby!" They will stop and say, "awwwww... where the heck can I get one of these??"

I swear- it's almost worth having another baby just so I can get all the cool stuff they've invented since 2000!

OUCH!

(that would be my husband's objection in the form of a smack on the head)

Fly In True Audio Addict Style

I've done way too much flying this year. Since the Podcast Expo at the end of September, I've flown three times, two of them across the country, and still one more trip left to do this year. For someone who usually calls everyone she knows to say goodbye before getting on an airplane, because she's sure she will go down in a ball of flame, that's saying something.

However- this set up would make me want to fly more often- A LOT more often. United Airlines now has a "first suite" service, which includes an iPod connector AND XM satellite radio. *drool drool drool*
The seat also reclines 180 to transform into a bed. Gak.

Just try and get me off the plane.
Now, I just need a lottery win or two under my belt....
