The h4 seems to be a nice little unit. Navigating with the Toggle is a bit confusing at first but rather simple after 15 minutes of playing with it. The Cubase editing software sent with my unit, (For Windows XP) will not recognize the H4 when plugged into the USB port rendering my recordings editless. Recordings will play through any of my other play engines such as Real Player, Windows Media Player, Itunes player, etc. When playing your recordings using Itunes, You will need to detach the USB jack before deleting from your Itunes music list or it will also delete the recording from your H4. I have contacted Zoom Technical Support on the software glitch, no answer yet. I've been waiting 4 days now and (email only support) no response. (Not happy with that)The 1 4 inch input jacks on the bottom of the unit work nice with outside mics, including my old style bullet mic. I haven't been able to try out the 4 track layering yet due to the software not working. The record button at the top front of the unit is supposed to work both as a start recording and stop recording switch. Sometimes, when using the AC power adapter, it will not stop recording when pushed to stop, and I have to power the unit down with the off switch. Data is not lost doing this. The plastic holder that comes with the unit works perfect with my camera tripod. You will need to use sound dampening material under the legs though if using the built in stereo mics, especially if the floors are wood. They are so sensitive, they will pick up footstep vibrations when recording in high gain mode.I perchased a 2 Gig SD card to replace the 128 Mg card supplied. Overall, I'm excited about the H4. If I can get the Cubase software issues resolved, I'll be extremely happy with the product. Definitely worth the money.
