This thing makes my H4n look like something from the 80’s.
Unless I missed it, which is entirely possible, there seems to be no stereo mini line-in? That’s unfortunate.
Wouldn’t this be overkill for users that want to plug in mini jack signals?
If you can afford to buy this recorder, you can definitely afford additional 3€ for a splitter cable.
if it could have multitrack with overdub functionality..and a metronome. it would be the perfect device of it’s kind.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it has these functionalities. The H4n had multitrack and metronome, but overdubbing always was a bit tricky.
I am somewhat perturbed, this is not based on any apple mac product. Synthopia really has it the lowest point of the last four years, shame on you .
Omg, do you know how many musicians use these for sampling. Keep up the great work, synthtopia!
god one
There is a mini jack stereo (powered) mic input on the yx mic capsule. Just like on the bottom side on the former H4n. For stereo cam mic, like Rode or Sony…bypasses the yx capsule simple..or stereo line in…
