Of course, a nice thing for beginners about the Zoom recorders is that you can "graduate" to a computer based system when you want to. A USB cable to the computer, download Audacity, and you're ready to do the whole computer based approach when you're ready for it. In the meantime, you've got a recorder with near zero learning curve, and the ability to record in different locations once you discover the issue of room acoustics. They're not the answer for everything, but for someone new to recording, with the goals described here, I think they make sense.

I found a Zoom H4N, the predecessor to the H4N Pro for $110. It seems the Pro didn’t change much other than improved pre-amps. I like the portability because I do some business travel and sometimes am playing guitar in hotel rooms.
Thanks for all the advise. I’ll play with this unit and then see what the next step is. |

.....that works nicely cause it's also an audio interface, at a great price. And its even got 4 track recording....pretty nice. And you still have room for a mic, or two. Maybe a matched pair of shure sm57's.

Is that a real thing? I've never heard of Shure selling 57s as matched pairs.

You have an iPad you really don't *need* any add ons- it will do all you need to do for home recording- unless you want to be a pro- my you tube channel has 40 videos, 1 was done straight to my lap top and 1 was done to an iPad mini- the rest were to my iPhone SE (updated version of a 7) - if you want to be critical (which I don't) use a set of ear plugs/buds connected to your phone-

That add has become the brunt of much sarcasm over on GS

I'm generally an advocate of computer based recording, and with my project I do a lot of it, but the OP has the case where the stand-alone makes the most sense to me too. Import the recordings from it into their laptop and use Audacity (free software) to trim out the tops and tails or other light editing.
In the off-chance that they get into recording and want to enjoy the enormous power and flexibility that can afforded and learned to be used to some effect by mere mortals in the DAW/computer world, the hand-held/portable recorder still has it's uses. I use my Zoom to record environmental sounds, even guest vocals. You can use your phone for that, but the inexpensive cost and semi-rugged build of the Zoom I have is more fitting.

That sounds like a fun read. I just tried to find the thread with no luck. Can you find it again easily? If not, don't sweat it.

However, what "matched" actually means in this context is not universal for all mics and brands. On high end mics, someone is actually taking individual measurements of the microphones and they're either finding matches and/or fine tuning mics to be matches. At the C2 price point, there is no way that is happening. All it really means at that price point is the mics are either consecutive or from the same production run. There's no guarantee the Behringer or any low end mics advertised as a "matched pair" actually have identical frequency responses. All that said, there's really very little necessity for a pair of mics to be "matched." For the home recordist, it's really not something to be concerned about.
