Hi Hamit.

I've had my H6 for just over a year now and love it.

To be honest, I don't make too many menu adjustments without sighted

I do loads of local recordings of bands and recently, my local 
quire's anual performance and the quality of the H6 is astounding.


I can usually get the recording levels about right with my 
headphones on.


I wish it did talk because that would be fantastic for someone like 
mmyself who is total.


What I do get is a huge big kick when fully sighted people accept my 
work on a thumb drive or CD.  They think I'm fantastic, yet all I am 
doing is chancing it on a wing and a prayer.


The H6 is very consistant and will not let you down at all and it's 
great just how used to the device you get the more you use it.


As for settings and setting it up for phantom power then this is 
something that I'd need sighted help for but so far all I've done is 
use the Internal microphones so I'm only using 2 of the 6 tracks 
which are available.


I'd love to buy a couple of Shure microphones on stands and start 
really getting into the mix, but these are rather expensive, about 
£100 for each of the 4 tracks that are there, so well above my budget.


I find that the internal microphones are good enough for what I want.

I'm recording 24 bit WAV at 196 Htz which is as good as blue ray, so 
that's fantastic and you should hear what the H6 can do.


However, I've just very recently purchased a second hand Olympus 
SL14, which is much smaller and perhaps more convienient for 
recording a band, leaving the Zoom h6 for large public performances.



I'd love to hear from other h6 users who really know their stuff, as 
I said, a wing and a prayer, but so far I'm getting away with it and 
coming up with the goods for the people who want me to record their 
stuff.


Hope this of help Hamit.

So folks, how are you all finding using the H6 or even the H5 
completely blind? how are ya all dealing with the fact that it 
doesn't even beep like the Olympus? Also how tricky is it to turn 
phantum power on and or off having to dive threw menus blind? Have 
you been able to get ussee to it and do it quite  fast? Or does 1 
have to be nice and slow and count menus? thanks

Right which is easy enough with SF. It's a thing though if you do for 
what ever reason end up with loads and loads of files. But the advantage 
of Zooms and the Olympus LS-100 is that they recorde into folders. 
Unlike the 14. Which records to the rute recorder folder but you must 
then move them into either of the 3 folders later or 1 buy 1 as you 
record or nabb them all off the card on your PC. By the way do the Zooms 
keep your place? That's 1 other beef I have with the 14. It pops you out 
of everything when you deactivate it. Not sure of the 100.

Cool. Yes the Zooms record to 1 folder if you do stereo. if you get into 
multy then each recorder gose into seprate folders and each mike is put 
into it's own file. Axept channals 1 and 2. But these may also when you 
use that bit with the 2 XLRs.

I don't have the H6 as yet, been meaning to get one for a while though.

'I've had a Zoom H1 for 7 years and I have a couple of Olympus

comparisons which might be useful.


Yes the Olympus recorders do talk and that's convenient however I do 
find that rather offputting to be honest.


With the Zoom H1 I've just got so used to turning the unit on and 
pressing the Record button and again to stop recording.


After I've finished recording? Well its just a matter of turning the 
H1 off and connecting to the computer to copy the files across using 
USB 3.0 so the transfer speed is actually faster than that offered by 
the Olympus recorders.


I don't have to look for my content either like I do on the Olympus as 
the H1 - and I assume to the H6 - only records in one folder on the SD 
card.


I'm not too concerned about levels, I've been using the H1 long enough 
to know roughly where 0 DB level is and - if their are any significant 
level adjustments that need to be made - I use the Normalise function 
in my audio production suite to do the fixing.


Thankfully Digital recorders have plenty of headroom.

Anyway my thoughts for what they're worth.

use the Internal microphones so I'm only using 2 of the 6 tracks 
which are available.


I'd love to buy a couple of Shure microphones on stands and start 
really getting into the mix, but these are rather expensive, about 
£100 for each of the 4 tracks that are there, so well above my budget.


I find that the internal microphones are good enough for what I want.

I'm recording 24 bit WAV at 196 Htz which is as good as blue ray, so 
that's fantastic and you should hear what the H6 can do.


However, I've just very recently purchased a second hand Olympus 
SL14, which is much smaller and perhaps more convienient for 
recording a band, leaving the Zoom h6 for large public performances.



I'd love to hear from other h6 users who really know their stuff, as 
I said, a wing and a prayer, but so far I'm getting away with it and 
coming up with the goods for the people who want me to record their 
stuff.


Hope this of help Hamit.

Very best wishes.

So folks, how are you all finding using the H6 or even the H5 
completely blind? how are ya all dealing with the fact that it 
doesn't even beep like the Olympus? Also how tricky is it to turn 
phantum power on and or off having to dive threw menus blind? Have 
you been able to get ussee to it and do it quite  fast? Or does 1 
have to be nice and slow and count menus? thanks

Re: Using the H6

2017-02-03 Thread Dane Trethowan 

I don't have the H6 as yet, been meaning to get one for a while though.

'I've had a Zoom H1 for 7 years and I have a couple of Olympus recorders 
so - whilst I don't have a H6 - I can perhaps make a few comparisons 
which might be useful.


Yes the Olympus recorders do talk and that's convenient however I do 
find that rather offputting to be honest.


With the Zoom H1 I've just got so used to turning the unit on and 
pressing the Record button and again to stop recording.


After I've finished recording? Well its just a matter of turning the H1 
off and connecting to the computer to copy the files across using USB 
3.0 so the transfer speed is actually faster than that offered by the 
Olympus recorders.


I don't have to look for my content either like I do on the Olympus as 
the H1 - and I assume to the H6 - only records in one folder on the SD card.


I'm not too concerned about levels, I've been using the H1 long enough 
to know roughly where 0 DB level is and - if their are any significant 
level adjustments that need to be made - I use the Normalise function in 
my audio production suite to do the fixing.


Thankfully Digital recorders have plenty of headroom.

Anyway my thoughts for what they're worth.

I do loads of local recordings of bands and recently, my local quire's 
anual performance and the quality of the H6 is astounding.


I can usually get the recording levels about right with my headphones on.

I wish it did talk because that would be fantastic for someone like 
mmyself who is total.


What I do get is a huge big kick when fully sighted people accept my 
work on a thumb drive or CD.  They think I'm fantastic, yet all I am 
doing is chancing it on a wing and a prayer.


The H6 is very consistant and will not let you down at all and it's 
great just how used to the device you get the more you use it.


As for settings and setting it up for phantom power then this is 
something that I'd need sighted help for but so far all I've done is 
use the Internal microphones so I'm only using 2 of the 6 tracks which 
are available.

By H6 are you talking Zoom, Olympus or something else?
