Thanks for that and anyone who recorded with a Zoom H6 would more than enjoy it I reckon. I heard Neal’s review on the product, its in the Blind Cool Tech archive - Blind Fools Wreck if you prefer - which I have on my system. I’ve read about the Zoom R8 - 8 track recorder - which sounds utterly amazing but offers more than I’m ever likely to use but a recorder without a doubt for the audio professional who wishes to take things to the next level. Zoom has quite a name for its recorders now and wipes the floor with the so called “Big Boys” of the industry such as Tascam, Roland and so on. Many reports and reviews I’ve read lately point to shortcomings in those recorders offered by Tascam, Roland etc. It would appear that those company’s are sacrificing good quality product in the name of being the cheapest out there thus the performance and build quality suffers in the final product whereas Zoom have come up through the ranks so to speak and learnt from customer feedback and their own mistakes. I started life with a Zoom H1 as list members will probably remember as I’ve written about it often enough and I still hold to the view that for $99 - that’s what I paid for the Zoom H1 8 years ago -its an incredible bargain of a recorder and just so easy to use. Like everything else the Zoom H1 has its pros and cons but still an incredible and well well regarded recorder if you’re on a bit of a tight budget. I’ll be getting some more capsules for the Zoom H6 including the shotgun mic.
