A few Questions re Zoom H5 or H6?
Please forgive the newbie questions. I'm new to all-things recording, inc. gear. Looking for a portable recorder to record our acoustic bluegrass jam sessions, lay down rhythm backing tracks for practice, etc, and the capability of accepting external mics if/when needed.
I'm pretty sure the H5 suits my needs, and I can certainly save a few bucks over the price of the H6. What I can't seem to gather from the online specs is: -- Do either of these units allow for (simple) overdubbing? -- Will they link to Garage Band? Any advice/comments are greatly appreciated.

I use an H5. Whilst I have not made use of the feature it does allow overdubbing of a track - saved as a separate file. I don't use GarageBand but it can record directly for later transfer to edit in a DAW or operate as an audio interface for Desktop or IPad.
Manual for the H5 is here https://www.zoom-na.com/sites/defaul...dfs/E_H5_0.pdf I'm very happy with my H5. Last edited by RodB; 03-22-2016 at 11:53 AM.

I use the H5 to record to garage band. You effectively get 3 channels into gb. I believe with the H6 you'd get 2 more for a total of 5. The XY mics come across as one channel in my setup.
