So I crashed around on the Zoom site but never could determine exactly what the
difference is between the H4 and the H4n. Anyone have the details or the URL to
a comparison page?

TIA,
Alan D.

Apparently, the H4n is a bit more rugged in its construction and has a
larger screen, but the biggie is that it's possible to record 4 tracks
simultaneously. That would be the two external input and the two
built-in mics all together. The example I saw mentioned using the
built-ins to capture the live sound of a performance (in stereo), and
using the externals to simultaneously record the clean sound coming off
the board. Thus four independent tracks.

Hot D#*M!!! I've been waiting for that. I want to be able to cover the guitar
with the zoom and at the same time use an external voice mic(s) all in one
pass. I think I need to torched my plastic, gotta go look for the lowest price
now.

Thanks -Raf,
Alan D.

Heh, heh, Oh, RIGHT! Danger Warning Will Robinson!! Tympanic Damage Alert! I
have actually recorded a bunch of stuff but most is just for my own
edification/satisfaction. I did a three song demo tape way back when too. Some
of the studio'd stuff is on the various RMMGA disks, when the latest disk comes
out I'm going to be in deep S#%t with the Texas Gathering group.<BG>

I really need the Zoom for getting some sound clips up on Guitarbench and onto
my site. The Cheeze-Ball mics I have wern't cutting it for straight across
non-tweaked sound bites.

That's why I mentioned it, Alan...I've heard you do your stuff at
Texas, and on the RMMGA CD's...I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd
like to hear more.

I'm heavily medicated today, I'll grant ya that...but still, I'd like
to hear more...

Oh, for crying out loud, Bill, give yourself a break!!! You're
ALLOWED to be bitchy and whiny and yell and scream. Sometimes it even
helps to do just that.

Big hug coming your way.

I wasn't scolding. I can't imagine the agonies you're enduring, both
physical and mental. I was merely encouraging you.

Oh, no problem, Dad. I was just looking back at how whiny I was
coming off yesterday. It is indeed better today. Certainly not
something I'd recommend as a good time.

This too shall pass...

Oh, yeah, I'm sure that was everyone's first thought about you: "Why
IS he whining???"

Not.

You want to hear whining, you ought to hear me bitch about my playing
when I hear it played back at me! Painful, I tell ya...

Glad you're feeling a little better, Bill.
