Hi Peter, see my response to you in my thread as well. I'll try to answer =
more of your specific questions with my limmited use.
I know there are at least some people using the H4N. On the BirdForum webs=
ite there is a subforum for song recording and you can find more discussion=
on it's use there. I have found the recorder very easy to use. mic in on=
e hand recorder in the other. Put it in standby an you can begin recording=
instanlty (picks up two seconds before instantly). I have a 3 ft XLR cable=
and that's the biggest problem, too much cable. Not much of a problem, bu=
t with the headset line, tangles are the biggest nusiance. I'm thinking of=
buying a hard hat and mounting a shock mount on the hat to free one hand L=
OL. Maybe secure the recorder itself on my shirtsleave with velcro. Then I=
can still carry my glasses and camera.
Cheers!
