I wish it was more.

I don't want my customers to see this little thing. It's fantastic, amazing and wonderful, but visually very unassuming. I started hiding it and just showing them the mixer. I know it's a field recorder, but it's good enough for studio use. A large front panel with large buttons would be ideal. Get ready to shop for accessories. Monitor adapter, external battery, case, camera mount. All in all I love it! Worth every penny.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Doubt

AVOID PURCHASE - NO RECOVERY FILE MODE

I purchased this Zoom after using a Roland field recorder for several years. I'm an AVID AUDIO person and this is no casual user, I've been capturing and editing audio with Field Recorders for 10 years now! The device is beautiful and easy to use BUT BE CAREFUL! if the power goes out during recording then you're screwed, the files are lost, impossible to recover them which is insane, also the device crashed twice during recording and again, the files were lost, hours of data and audio is lostโ€ฆ

  • Weight

  • Senior

Excellent recorder besides bluetooth

Excellent recorder. I started recording six channels about 10 minutes after taking it out of the box. The controls are easy to learn and offer just the right amount of detail. However, I bought this recorder because of the ability to control it via Bluetooth. I shoot a lot of videos from club gigs so it would be a great asset to be able to make sure the soundboard recording is still going right. Unfortunately this was not to be. First, the app is only for iOS! For one, they cut off at leastโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent general features
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
