What you will learn

Recording and playback essentials of the Zoom H6 Handy Recorder.

You will gain confidence in the use of the Zoom H6 recorder and its capabilities.

Description

Zoom H6 Audio Recording Essentials explores many of the essential features and tools available within the Zoom H6 Recorder. As a podcast editor, producer, and host, I record all 3 of my shows using the Zoom H6 recorder. It's versatile, powerful, compact, and loaded with useful features. I liken it to a recording studio in the palm of your hand. This course will boost your confidence and increase your skills and knowledge in using the Zoom H6 recorder as part of your podcast or recording arsenal. There are no prerequisites for this course. This course consists of 26 lectures distributed across 2 sections:

  • Section One: Introduction to the Zoom H6

  • Section Two: Navigating the Zoom H6

In Section One, we spend our time getting familiar with the hardware side of the Zoom H6, the button layout, navigation techniques, and the detachable mic adapters. In Section Two, we turn our attention to the software side of the H6 as we navigate through the different display windows, turn features on and off, and learn the folder structure of the H6. It's in this section that we explore features of the H6 like phantom power, plugin power, SD card size types and limits, compression and limiters, updating the firmware, backup recordings, recording formats, the low-cut filter, recording in stereo, MS-RAW, using the H6 as a pass-thru mixer, and updating the firmware. NOTE: I am not affiliated with the fine folks at Zoom in any way. I have not been asked to endorse their product and I receive no compensation from them. I simply like this product which I've been using for over 4 years now and I wanted to dive deeper and teach a course on it. Thank you for your interest in this course and I hope to see you inside.

My expectations going into the course were fairly low. I learned enough to feel comfortable with my Zoom H6. The course created the necessary accountability to push me to learn the features. I needed to be comfortable on my first go and didn't want to fumble around doing the techie, no-manual, seat-of-the-pants approach. As with most instructors on Udemy, sometimes it would be better for the instructor to film a second, third, or fourth take on a lesson to deliver a more polished lesson. Some takes simply can't be fixed in editing. But that is nit-picking and doesn't deserve a down-ding in this case. The rating here should be viewed in the context of the basket of alternatives. Competition would probably drive higher quality in this instance.

In his usual style, Mike walks one through everything needed to run most functions on the Zoom H6. I'm glad that I took this course as it's definitely gotten me started on learning to use this new piece of tech equipment that I've added to my recording booth to replace having my laptop in there. I highly recommend this course.

This is my second course by Mike. He does a great job. I thought he was going to make a second edition of Audacity.

Fully aware that this course was about the Zoom H6, I figured it might be beneficial for me to better understand my Zoom H5 and get more out of it. My hunch was right! In addition, it's helped assure me that the H5 is more than sufficient for my current need - no FOMO induced purchase. It's also given me food for thought should an upgrade be necessary as my content creation evolves.

Great course that helped me get familiar with the H6. Some good tips and tricks. I’d like to see some content on how to set levels (as a person new to audio) especially, how to record “clean” audio without that echo sound, etc. However, I suspect that may be a completely different course - so I’ll go look for that one - now that I am familiar with the H6

Very helpful and easy to understand... and much more pleasant than reading the manual. Thank you Mike

Excellent course. Mike Adams is one of the best instructors that I have ever seen and I have watched many tutorials over the years. He is amazing.

Mon appareil soit devenu inutilisable peu après l'achat de cette formation. Dommage car le cours en lui-même est excellent et cette note est méritée.

Explain details from a very fundamental level and good for entrance level users to follow, or an experienced user who hasn't used this equipment for a while to pick up

I took this course because I just purchased a Zoom H5 and I thought I could get some good practical information that would transfer to the H5. I did get some useful information, not as much as I thought I'd get, but good information nonetheless. I liked the insrtructor's presentation style and the way he puts the small puzzle pieces together to give you the big , clear picture. I also have 2 of his other courses on Audacity, which I think could be very useful to anyone taking this course.
