Agreed ... excellent value for the price !!! 🤔 question: you know what are the PAD buttons for...? I haven't seen any explanation in YT ever.... Thanks!
It generally helps you keep your levels from peaking if the source itself is too loud. Say you had an electric that was raging and you gain it down as far as you can and it’s still raging and clipping. Thats where the pad would come in handy because you can turn it on and it drops the lower bound of your threshold to -20 db giving you a bit more head room to get that track in it’s sweet spot.
I don't like the essential version. Looks horrible, no physical adjustment nobs. Forced to record 32bit float really. More post production work for certain jobs.
Hey there great review. Question for you. I am setting up a live stream and considering this for the canon r6m2. Gonna conect a mic for the pastor and use the xy mic for the ambient and church music. Do you think this will work on?
I recorded this just before they announced the new recorders. But honestly, there is still a place for this recorder. Personally I don't like the lack of hardware adjustment dials on the new essential range.
I have enjoyed my H6 for several years now. Used it for podcasts as interface, event recordings and for short film production. Great device!

You can use it if the audio source is too loud
@@Rush-Reviews thanks!

03:46 true but that becomes a good thing if you're capturing audio from someone else
Can you use rechargeable batteries in this?
Yes, I use these geni.us/DAAR
Thank you
The fact that this is like $179 is still a steal, even if the Essential version is coming out soon.

Good luck and you need to post more often. I used the affiliate link👍🏻

About to go viral congrats bro
Ive been on the fence the last 3 days about picking this guy up or waiting on the Essential version.
Hope you bought the older version, cheaper and better
The essential version looks horrible, no physical adjustment nobs but 32bit float is nice. I've bought the zoom f6 now, a real step up in quality!
The new essential line has no hain settings. It wont peak on you.
That hiss in the background bro
I should have used the zoom to record 😅
@
Still a great video!
Thank you 🙏🏽
It's look too big to my opinion. Thank you
Thats what she said
If you need fewer inputs, you can get a smaller one. Like the h1. Or the zoom f6 has 6 inputs and a smaller form factor. But more expensive
the new zoom h6essential literally just came out. why review a 10 years old product and put 2024 on the title?
Because the H6 is a beast
I found it helpful. I just bought an H6 a week ago, even knowing the H6E is now out (For $180 versus $299, I'll happily set gain)!

😂😂 chill
@@d5kennI’m with you on that lol
