The Zoom H4 is one of the many solid state hand held recorders on the market today. This kind of device records directly to a memory card. The advantage is that there is no motor noise that gets recorded along with your intended source. Ideally, this lets you capture pristine recordings.
After the H4 arrived from zZounds, I was quick to put it to the test. It only took a few minutes to learn how to load load the SD card and batteries, operate the navigation system and set the sample rate. Then I was out in the kitchen, banging on pots and pans, in the garage slamming doors and dropping iron, in the bathroom capturing a toilet flush--ah, you know the joy of a new toy.
Back at the computer, I connected by USB and the mac instantly opened a drive icon and there were my files. I opened up Kontakt, made a new preset and dragged the files dirrect from the H4 to Kontakt, then saved in the files+samples kontakt format. Amazingly fast and easy.
