Yaeji

Yaeji is in Fact Magazine’s "Against The Clock", a format where artists create music within 10 minutes. Around 11:33 into this video Yaeji states: > And then I recorded vocals that I just improvised from… I have different notebooks that I just write down random lyrics on. So I picked some and just improvised and then brought that in. I chose to use my Zoom, because I like the quality it gets from my voice and I have a very whispery voice.

" My current setup is fairly simple an all digital. The only piece of hardware that I have and use regularly is my Zoom H4n recorder, which I use a lot to collect materials for my music. The rest is all on computer. "

Svartsinn

"Yes I also use field recordings quite a bit. I use my Zoom H4, record sounds as I stumble over them - or I plan to go for a sound hunt (sometimes inside the house even). Then I just try different effects and processing. Pretty sure that 90% never turns into anything. But I do return to the raw material once or twice some time later and try again (more or less with the same results). Some are used more or less pure, some are manipulated quite a lot."

well,

What I'm mainly using this for now is my piano. I'll have this mic'd up right where the hammer hits the strings, my m160 close pointed at the strings, and the ntk pulled back in the middle of the room. Full great tone.

Can be used as an audio interface or recorder!

Quite useful for field recording and with it's dual function as a audio interface. Careful as these are quite fragile. Mine has something rattling inside and bent microphone from it falling from a microphone stand. Still functions fine though.

Field recording crown has it.

It's quiet informative and multi-functional little machine that I have for field recording. Not only for sound designers, also for movie makers so useful.

Amazing All-Purpose Recording Device

I use this guy in the field, in the studio, and everywhere else. It seems to do it all, and the battery lasts forever. Bought one years ago and have never had a problem.

My best companion

Wherever I go, this recorder is connected to the DJ booth. What I love is that it's plug and play. The only thing I'd love it to have is wifi.
