Oh yeah, before I forget. If I'm recording something noisey such as a
train going by then I turn the levels right down, the levels are
controled by their own separate up/down buttons and of course you can
monitor what the H1 is picking up through headphones.

Hi Hamit.
I've had my H6 for just over a year now and love it.
To be honest, I don't make too many menu adjustments without sighted
assistance.
I do loads of local recordings of bands and recently, my local quire's
anual performance and the quality of the H6 is astounding.
I can usually get the recording levels about right with my headphones on.
I wish it did talk because that would be fantastic for someone like
mmyself who is total.
What I do get is a huge big kick when fully sighted people accept my
work on a thumb drive or CD. They think I'm fantastic, yet all I am
doing is chancing it on a wing and a prayer.
The H6 is very consistant and will not let you down at all and it's
great just how used to the device you get the more you use it.
As for settings and setting it up for phantom power then this is
something that I'd need sighted help for but so far all I've done is
use the Internal microphones so I'm only using 2 of the 6 tracks which
are available.
I'd love to buy a couple of Shure microphones on stands and start
really getting into the mix, but these are rather expensive, about
£100 for each of the 4 tracks that are there, so well above my budget.
I find that the internal microphones are good enough for what I want.
I'm recording 24 bit WAV at 196 Htz which is as good as blue ray, so
that's fantastic and you should hear what the H6 can do.
However, I've just very recently purchased a second hand Olympus SL14,
which is much smaller and perhaps more convienient for recording a
band, leaving the Zoom h6 for large public performances.
I'd love to hear from other h6 users who really know their stuff, as I
said, a wing and a prayer, but so far I'm getting away with it and
coming up with the goods for the people who want me to record their
stuff.
Hope this of help Hamit.
Very best wishes.
Andy.
From Scotland with Love.

Subject: Using the H6
So folks, how are you all finding using the H6 or even the H5
completely blind? how are ya all dealing with the fact that it
doesn't even beep like the Olympus? Also how tricky is it to turn
phantum power on and or off having to dive threw menus blind? Have
you been able to get ussee to it and do it quite fast? Or does 1
have to be nice and slow and count menus? thanks
