After viewing this video I purchased my H6! Now I need more videos on how to record with it! I am so excited. Thanks for the great video and recommendation.
Elle, that is great to hear! Glad you enjoyed the video and got the H6. Feel free to reach out to us at hello@resonaterecordings.com if you need some additional training on using the H6.
@@stratusleadershipdevelopme637 the ability to record from 4 xlrs, and combine the tracks or keep them separate, the fact that it doubles as an audio interface, sound quality is great, battery life great. Im an amateur, so dont go by what I have to say. Most often I'm doing amateur stuff like running a line in from my sennheiser wireless, the transmitter and shotgun mic of which is in the front of a room (lets say a kids band concert), the in post i combine video from my seat with zoom audio from up front.
Thank you for this awesome video! I'm hoping you might be able to help me out. What is a -20 db PAD switch and under what conditions/situations would one use it?
Thanks for reaching out! Great question. A -20db PAD switch changes the input signal of your input (microphone, instrument, etc). The main purpose is to dramatically boost a quiet signal or dramatically reduce a loud signal.
Is it possible to playback channel 1 and record to channel 2? For example you have the instrumental on ch1 and you want to sing over the vocals on ch 2
I just used my h6 for first time. Two person podcast in person. I set it to two separate tracks and I got bad bleed through thus echo. I’m guessing we were just to close together, or I should have recorded with the stereo setting combining mics 1 and 2? Any ideas would be appreciated!
Hello! I have a Zoom H6 and an SD to FireWire. I’d like to be able to edit on my iPad but I’m having trouble finding the files once everything is plugged in. Any pointers?
Great video! Any tips for preventing or decreasing mic hiss? I'm recording with the Zoom H6 and the Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone and got very loud hiss.
Not sure if anyone answered your question already I just came across this video now. But if you get a cloudlifter it can help give you a lot more gain thus not having to crank the volume up so much on the zoom h6 and helping eliminate that hiss. Hope that helps if you havent already gotten your answer.
I think this would be a great tool for when I am recording interviews on the red carpet. BUT if I wanted to travel and record a regular interview for my podcast, how many headphones and microphones can I have at once, total? Is it two and two? I wasn't sure during that demonstration. Thanks!
You can have up to 4 external microphones plugged into the H6 at one time. It only comes with one headphone 1/8 output, but you can purchase a headphone splitter cable like this one: www.amazon.com/Headphone-Splitter-Syncwire-Nylon-Braided-Smartphones/dp/B07431YDWM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536156704&sr=8-1&keywords=headphone+splitter+cable or you can get an external headphone amp to have up to 4 headphones to have more headphone outputs. For the amp you would need this: www.amazon.com/Behringer-HA400-BEHRINGER-MICROAMP/dp/B000KIPT30/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1536156772&sr=8-3&keywords=headphone+amp and this cable: www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Housing-Theater-Devices-Amplifiers/dp/B00Y2LANPU/ref=sr_1_4?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1536156810&sr=1-4&keywords=1%2F4+inch+to+1%2F8+inch+trs+cable Hope this helps!

Thank you Sam! You will have to change the record format from WAV to mp3 if you want all tracks to record as 1 stereo track. If you are doing any post production or editing it will be easier to have multiple tracks for each channel.
Is there anyway to have the zoom H6 plugged in to the computer or outlet so that it’s not using the batteries for power? In other words, can it use another power source?
You probably already figured this out, but they make splitters that allows you to plug up to 3 different sets of headphones into one port, you can find them at Best Buy. 👍👍👍
Hey Oscar, if I understand your question correctly, you just have to enable the individual channels you want to record by clicking the channel numbers (L, R, 1, 2, 3, 4) above the Stop, Play, and Record buttons. Does that answer your question?
Wow, it seems though the H6 comes with it's own stereo microphones, 2 to be exact every video recommends getting a separate microphone and most don't explain why..
We recommend using external microphones with the Zoom H6 so that you capture a clearer and higher quality recording of your voice(s). The stereo microphone will capture much more room noise and will not sound as clear as a simple dynamic mic like the Samson Q2U when it is closer to your mouth. I hope this helps!
Your audio sounds AMAZING. Hands down!

This has been the most helpful TH-cam on how to use my ZoomH6 and Condenser mic. Thank you!
Thank you! Super simple rundown but more helpful than some 30 minute tutorials
I just want to say that this was simple and to the point and I really appreciate your video!
Great! Straight with no chaser. Thank you!
Amazing! Thank you sir so much, you just got me through what seemed like hours of reading through the Manuel in a few minutes. Salute
Glad it helped!

This was perfect. Thank uuuu
Brilliant tutorial thank you
works great perfect !
Wonderful video! Thanks :)
Is it possible to playback channel 1 and record to channel 2? For example you have the instrumental on ch1 and you want to sing over the vocals on ch 2
Thanks so much for this overview. Very helpful. Keep them coming!
Thank you! So helpful & simple! Love it!
sir can we connect our 3.5 mm aux speaker to it so that we can hear our recording from speaker ?? and where to connect it?
Nice video!!
Excellent overview! I also checked out your site, and it sounds like you do some great work.
How would the pre-amps in the H6 likely to compare to the newly Zoom Podcaster P4?
I just used my h6 for first time. Two person podcast in person. I set it to two separate tracks and I got bad bleed through thus echo. I’m guessing we were just to close together, or I should have recorded with the stereo setting combining mics 1 and 2? Any ideas would be appreciated!
Is it something you can plug in to charge in any USB, Laptop, or one that you would get at a gas station, or plug in a cigarette lighter in the car?
Which microphone is he using in the video?
Hello! I have a Zoom H6 and an SD to FireWire. I’d like to be able to edit on my iPad but I’m having trouble finding the files once everything is plugged in. Any pointers?
Is it possible to live stream from the H6?

@@ResonateRecordings It is also worth noting that there is a module you can buy to get another two tracks. So it can do a total of 6 not 4.
this is great, thanks! how do you make sure all channels record as just 1 track? mine are doing multiple tracks for each channel
Thank you Sam! You will have to change the record format from WAV to mp3 if you want all tracks to record as 1 stereo track. If you are doing any post production or editing it will be easier to have multiple tracks for each channel.
Great job. Loved the video. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Why would you not use rechargeable batteries?
Is there anyway to have the zoom H6 plugged in to the computer or outlet so that it’s not using the batteries for power? In other words, can it use another power source?
Yes. The Zoom H6 comes with an external power supply you can plug directly into the wall while you are recording.
how can i get my audio to sound like yours??? sounds awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you hook up multiple headphones to it? I only see one jack.
You probably already figured this out, but they make splitters that allows you to plug up to 3 different sets of headphones into one port, you can find them at Best Buy. 👍👍👍
use it and love it
will the Zoom H6 Record multitracks or is it only stero? Thank you!
it will
It does record in multitrack, it can record up to 6 tracks in multitrack mode.
Muy bueno el video.
How can I change multitrack mode to a "normal" mode?
Thank you
