Zoom H5/UG/08 Recording/01 Process
Recording process
- A recording session has six stages: connect, turn the power on, prepare, record, play back and check, then overdub and edit.
- In MULTI FILE mode the H5 handles recording and playback data as projects. In STEREO FILE mode it handles the data as individual files.

Turn the power on
Prepare to record
- 1. Set the recording mode: Zoom H5/UG/08 Recording/03 Select Mode.
- Choose MULTI FILE or STEREO FILE mode. The two modes record different file types and formats.
- Other settings to make at this stage include:
- 2. Select the tracks to record: Zoom H5/UG/08 Recording/05 Inputs and Levels.
- Press the track buttons. A track's input can be monitored once its indicator lights red.
- In MULTI FILE mode, the 1 and 2 track buttons can be linked so Inputs 1 and 2 record as one stereo track (stereo link).
- 3. Adjust the input levels.
- Turn the input volume knob for each input.
- Set each level so the meter stays near −12 dB when the loudest sound comes in.
- With an MS capsule, the side mic level can also be adjusted: Zoom H5/UG/08 Recording/11 Side Mic Level.
