Has all the features I wanted,some complicated user interface

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

I looked at the Edirol, the H4, and another similar device. The H4 had all the features I wanted: built-in microphones, external MIC jack (XLR and 1 / 4 "both), the batteries interchangeable, and, above all, the phantom power.

Phantom power was the clincher for me. The Edirol does not, then using that would take away with her another piece of material. Also worth noting: this true 48-volt phantom power. Very well done. I only have one complaint on the H4, and this UI ridiculous.

The H4 features two modes main players: normal and "studio".

The mode normal fundamental and useful. You can select the bit rate and the recording format. The device can record in either WAV or MP3. Non too complicated.

"Recording studio" bill as a 4-way mode of study track record, but that description misleading. What does it really mean you can establish tracks (or a channel or two) next to tracks already existing, up to a limit of four. The device really had only one or two channels at once. Since the four tracks are just a creation of the software in any case, why arbitrarily limited to only four Maybe four at a time was the PI the device can play simultaneously. I do not know.

Anyway, my point that the mode the recording studio, as he can do a million things with a user interface ridiculously complicated. Simply do not You can use the device in this way, without the manual open in front of you. Also, since you must work with the controls and children with a small screen simply too complicated. These are the characteristics pi suitable for a remedial software on a workstation real. I can not shake the feeling that Samsung has just added this mode so there would be no more stuff right on the outside of the box.

But if you take my advice and just not use the mode the recording studio, is it a beautiful piece of technology.
