Re: Zoom H1

2011-09-27 Thread Dane Trethowan
Yep, to erase the track or file that's currently playing, presss the 
Erase button which is located above the Power on/off/lock switch, file 
stops playing and H1 prompts Erase file? press the round record button 
on the front of the unit, file will then be erased.

Hi Dane, sorry for the delay.

I had a bit of a memory lapse, and when I pulled the H1 out of its case after 
coming out of hospital I found to my horror that I couldn't remember how to 
drive the darn thing.

So thanks for the reminder, it was the power/lock switch I couldn't remember.  
But I'm also a bit forgetfully confused as to the procedure for erasing from 
the H1.  I had thought that the procedure was to press that while the thing you 
want to erase is playing, and then press the record/stop button to confirm.  
But when I tried it just now it didn't seem to work.

There's a hell of a lot I need to retrain with, and not just regarding H1.  But 
the H1 is my focus at the moment.

Okay well firstly given that the Zoom H1 doesn't have any editing controls - 
well not yet at any rate - as part of its built in control set then you're 
going to have to do a little editing possibly on your computer so let's go 
through a few basics that may help make that task somewhat easier.

Remember that the big round button on the front is your Record/stop toggle if you like, 
turn the recorder on and its in Standby mode, press the round button and recorder 
starts recording.

Press the round button again and recorder stops recording and returns to 
Standby.

Press the round button again and the recorder starts recording to a new file, 
each new file is numbered in a sequence starting from 01.

Now whilst in a recording you can Mark a particular position in a file and 
these markers are recognised by audio editors such as Sound Forge, Amadeus Pro and 
similar.

To set a mark press the Play button on the right hand side of the recorder, 
from top to bottom the itmes on the right hand side are input jack, input up/down, fast 
forward, play, rewind and the small indented erase button, below that is the power 
on/off/lock slider switch.

Hi all

This is going to sound incredibly dumb.  But I need a bit of help, from the 
blind person's perspective with regards using the H1 digital recorder.

My only excuse is that I am physically and mentally battered just at the 
moment, because of all this darn medical stuff, drugs and physical ailments.

Lynne can give me a helping hand from the perspective of somebody with vision.  
But if anybody could possibly give me a description of the controls I'd be 
grateful.  I need to make an on-location recording in hospital tomorrow, and 
although I can edit the files when I get home, it would undoubtedly help if I 
have some manipulation capabilities with the machine itself.

So if anybody could help me I'd be very grateful.
