- Are you considering buying the Zoom H8? Are you wondering whether you really need to spend the extra money on it, when the H4n Pro, H5, or H6 might suffice? In this video, I'm going to go over what the H8 can do, what it can't do, and who should buy it.

GREAT TUTORIAL... Thank you very much.
Thanks! I was all ready to upgrade from the H6 to the H8 and your vid extra sold me. Used your affiliate link. Hope it worked! I first got the H2 over 15 years ago and it's been amazing! Around a year ago bought the H6 for $300(usd) and now it's under $200!! Highly recommend (unless you need 2 more inputs!) The h8 is currently at $330 (on sale on Amazon) which, if such trend$ continue, will be well under 300 a year from now. Not willing to wait! Zoom = great products!!! Thanks again!
2:05 The reflection. I love that, haha. It's like a subtle nod to a horror movie.
😂 I was wondering when someone was going to point out the reflections.
Thanks! I have this device and absolutely love it, BUT Don’t have and experience with other types of portable recording devices. JUST TONS OF AUDIO RECORDING EXPERIENCE. I feel it great for amateurs that want that professional feel, but not making enough money to buy equipment that they are not ready for.
Nice review, thanks for sharing 👍 16:28
Great review, very useful info about who should buy it. Please consider making a review for the zoom F6.
Thanks, will do!
Thank you very much
The realtime effects are a great addition for the few amongst us using this as a portable in-ear mixer for live performance monitoring and recording. I’ve used the H6 for this purpose up until now and EQ is something I’ve been hoping for. Adjustable compressor and limiter setting are also most welcome. Otherwise I agree about post production editing. The MS and Shotgun/MS mics are also great for capturing stage and live audience sound.

Great review
Thanks a lot 👍
Hello, great video, thanks. This recorder accepts SDXC cards to 512GB, but does it accept SDHC too, or any other sd cards? Thanks for your answer. Regards.
Me watching this after buying my H8 👀
Naughty naught
Me too
😂
I use this for recording live jams. Its awesome. I have had some issues with it automatically cutting the recording at 2gb which seems pretty mad. Am I missing something?
Please do a video of music recording
Overdubbing /live drums / guitar and vocals and bass.Do a song.
Hello. Have a good time
I had a question about the Zoom H8
In the music mode, when we record the sound on the memory card, the effect is recorded, but the equalization is not applied
Is this part of the factory settings?
Please advise. Thanks a lot
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
No worries, glad I could help 👍
Hi,
Can I plug XLR mics into the instrument line in section with an adapter to avoid buying the additional mic capsule yet?
Which field recorder would you recommend for wedding cinematographers?
Yes which was a shame as I had bought the H6 to record in 5.1 surround sound. But why bother with all the stuff in the way for the EX H6. But with the H8 you could do 9.1 surround all from the machine.
Is it possible to live stream from the x/y mics?
S - Class video! The best one i found on youtube so far about the H8! Thank you so much for making this! Fantastic work!
should use a low cut filter on your recorder for your voice
Thank you for your presentation. I rejected it because it can not do 32 bit.
were do you buy the capsulse
Does zoom h8 on work in stereo mode with iPad when not on batteries?
Another caveat when using the EHX-6 capsule on the H8 is the angle of the XLR inputs into the body of the H8. There is definitely some interference if you are going to try to use the EHX-6 capsule with XLR cables… Not the best design. I have the H8 and was hoping to gain two channels using the EHX-6. Unless someone makes a short 90 degree XLR cable. It won’t work.
Interesting, thanks for letting us know. I didn't know that 👍
cool is it hard to use
You said something about recording instruments direct into the recorder with an included capsule? - Or do you mean I will not be able to run a microphone direct and record music instruments?
Okay, so here is my situation: I play in a band, we are a singer, singer/keys, guitarist, bassist and drums (me). I wanted to record the practice sessions to have a recording I can practice to at home. I was loking for the smaller devices at first. Then my stupid inner gearhead stepped in and thought "Oh well, 6 inputs out of the box, that would give everyone an input to play into, with the attachment I could even have a semi decent drum mic setup..."
Do I think too far or should I spend the 355€ to buy an H8?
Hello, I'm writing from Turkey. I bought a Zoom H8, but do I need to use only the SD card to transfer the audio from it to a computer? Can't I directly transfer the audio from the device to a computer with a cable?
Wie wird es aufgeladen? Brahche ich ein Adapter oder ein Stecker, oder soll ich zurücksenden.
不错😊
The video is rad, thank you. I'm curious why you keep saying "not portable". It's beyond portable. Not handheld I believe is what you're after. If I packed up the pieces of my studio that I needed, to do what this thing does; I'd be packing up a Pc, one of my 8 port mic pres, monitor etc....
This is all super potable, even with the attachments. Thank you again for all the detail and effort.
Pro tip... colored electrical tape on both ends of the mic cable.
Cheers
Hi, thanks for the great video. I have a question before buying the MSH-6 and SSH-6 capsules for my H8. On the H5 and H6 it is possible to set the Side mic level using the side buttons directly on the devices. Is it also possible with the H8, or the only way is using the Zoom software M/S in post-production? Thank you!
O have the same question...
@@aguantecivile2 I bought both, and the answer is yes, you can set the side mic level directly with the Zoom H8 before recording.
@@mouradkachroud500 thank you!! And... how it does?? In the H6 i saw the people who s filming increase and decrease with the side up and down operation buttons..the H8 doesnt has those
So beautiful voice
Thanks a lot :)
Great video, esp the conclusion part; cannot help to "like". I bought an H6 and found that at the end of musical recording, I could only get sound tracks on individual track basis, but not a mixed/combined track and hence could not get the key "end product" that I also want. Would H8 produces a stero-mix track, or it is just my ignorance of H6, which can also produce one. Thank you.
Do you mean having multiple microphones plugged in, and getting a stereo mix as a result?
Ohhhhh true, i think you just saved me some money haha so you'd still need a DAW etc to create a finished track?
can i put tentacle sync on my H8?
How much for the h8
Cela peut paraître fou, mais j'ai acheté le H8 essentiellement pour sa possibilité de renommer facilement les morceaux avec le clavier tactile!
Mais aussi parce qu'il était à moitié prix (une oportunité!...)
Et maintenant, je peux tester un maximum de choses avec car c'est un veritable couteau Suisse!
Je suis donc gagnant!😊
I'm not an expert, but my boyfriend is a professional musician who plays at his homemade studio at the back of our house. The sound is horrible and he only records through his pedal board. After recording from the pedal board he records it on his old smartphone which he only uses for this purpose. He often complains about not recording it perfectly and the sounds are not in the perfect "shape" or line. The question is: Could this device be the perfect tool to help bands record in their "house/flat studio"? Thank you for your answer in advance,
I'm having a problem in recording separate tracks, when I record using the multiple mics, the H8 mixdown all tracks!!! This is unusable for me, tried using field recording and podcast mode. Same thing. Is there something I'm missing or a setting? Overall A comprehensive overview ❤️ ..
yes, it does that im mp3 setting. Change file format to wav
hey how do you solo
individual tracks to monitor on a zoom
h8?
i tried long pressing buttons but did not
work. Do u have any idea? i tried the mannual but it has no info
I'm searching for this info too. I want to know if it's possible to mute an individual monitor channel but with that audio still recording and only the headphones that have muted it
I just got this product. My only question that is baffling me is there are a bunch of toggle switches but there is no indication which way is on and which is off. They’re just left to right switches. Do you know which way is which?
Look at a the diagrams un front of your H8.
regret buying my H8, should have gotten another h6
Which of the capsules would be best for recording vocals?
I used the SGH-6 with the H6 for a while on the channel. It isolates your voice fairly well.
@@christianskyes nice, thanks 👍
Which is best for podcasting? The h6 or h8
I'd say the H8, primarily because you get more inputs.
there is a long hair on the screen of the H5 :)
Should I get this or the 6
What are you looking to do with it?
@@christianskyes what if I am field recording interviews, tape syncs, and sound designing for games.
Also, if you have any experience with the Sony range in comparison with the Zoom range, I would love to know yours or any one else's thoughts
I am an independent film maker do lots of interview shoots for corporate houses , i am confused either to buy h6 or h8 need to your views
I’d say H8, it’s much better especially if later on you’d need to record/interview multiple people like maybe up to 8 people or more
@@oomanlife7220 have you found issues with the noise floor, buzzing when using the interface, recording? Thanks
For the time being I will stick with my H4n Pro
The H4n Pro is indeed a solid little device 👍
@@christianskyes
It really is a nice solid little unit I love it.
I also have some cool videos on CZcams
I filmed a lady astronaut who's on the space station stand by I will send it to you.

Huh. You seem to think "portable" means "handheld". This looks very portable to me (like a laptop); needs not be operated while held in hands to be portable. Get a stand.
Those mics dint rather easily.
zoom is not 中联重科 XD：Their two kind of companies
Oh, I see! How would you write Zoom as then, so I can correct it? 🤔
@@christianskyes 'Zoomlion' is the english name of 中联重科 ,it produces heavy machinery such like excavator ,forklift.....and 'Zoom' probably is a technical company for studing recording hardware,so i dont know how do you know "中联重科"....
First!!
Hey Tony :D
@@christianskyes I can’t believe it…I was watching a few reviews last night on the Zoom H8…and the next morning YOUR new video review about it showed up! What are the odds?
I have transcended. My mind permeates both time and space.
@@christianskyes You were the CZcams Voiceover king….so now you are “God-level” now???
@@TonyBabarino I have indeed reached a new realm of understanding 😂 My consciousness is ever expanding, ever reaching.
It just looks stupid
your review sounds really very depressive! I almost have to visit the Hospital after listening to your review! I lost the wishes to buy the H8 by watching your video and listening to your narration!, thank you for helping me to save my money, by the way, I will not buy either the H6, 4 or 2, your negativity about Zoom is obvios!
