ZOOM H5 OverDub Multi Track Recording

How to OVERDUB & MULTITRACK RECORD with the Zoom H5.
I used a Logitech webcam 922 to record narration, GoPro Hero 6 to record the Zoom H5 procedures. Sound is directly from the GoPro Hero 6 with actual Zoom H5 demos from the H5.

I’ve owned this for years and couldn’t figure out how to do this. Your video explained it better than anyone. Thank you!

I'm just about to purchase one of these and your videos have made me feel so confident that I am ready to use it. Thank you for the effort and integrity. I've performed all my life but recording is new to me and I am all at sea. Most of the tutorials assume one has so much base knowledge to draw from and don't build it in any way. Thank you again. I shall be a loyal subscriber from over here in Australia ❤️

Thanks so much for this tutorial. You methodically go over every action. This really helps someone like me who is not very computer-friendly . I just got my H5 and have been recording with it. Now I want to do two piano parts. Thanks again.

Thank you ! Straight forward I wish more tutorials were like this!

[danzactivaballaja]

Thank you. One of the best tutorials I've seen.

EXCELLENT tutorial madam. I have a zoom h5 that I bought years ago and forgot how insanely difficult it was too use the finer points. EXCELLENT machine thing. Nothing good comes easy.

Thank you! I finally have learned how to overdub on this machine. The ZOOM tutorial was a bit too confusing for me. This, plus the additional explanations was just the trick! Thank you buddy!

Cool stuff Deb you always show me new gadgets....thanks for your work

[JWEmbry-wcqi]

Thanks Deb, I always learn something from your videos.

[RickySweum]

Well done tutorial with some good basic info. Thanks.

This video is better explained than the one from the ZOOM company. I just saw that one before this one and I almost cancel the order that I just placed an hour ago.

Thank you for yur prompt reply Deb. I felt grateful for your useful tips, at the same time I felt disappointed as I thought I am going to make a big difference if I purchase a new H5. In that case, I will continue to keep my H4n Pro as I can still do audio and video sync in post. Thanks again.

Helpful video. Is it possible to overdub multiple times on the L/R track (or any of the tracks)? For example, I want to record a small part of a vocal on the L/R track, then afterwards, I want to overdub another small part of vocal on that same track, and so on. Essentially, I would be building a vocal step by step, recording about 10 seconds at a time, (all on the same track), until I have a 3 min vocal. I ask because I know I would quickly use up the 4 mono tracks using this method and I wouldn't want to have to bounce the tracks every they filled up.

I learned more from you today. Thanks again Deb

Very good info, thank you for sharing!
Cheers, Pete

Hi Deb, while owning an H5 since 5 years never needed overdubbing, still good to know how it's done, thanks for this. Yet I have a question you might know to answer before I buy the lavalier microphones. Can the H5 be used as 4 simultaneous track recorder. Means splitting the capsule L and R into 2 x mono and adding the TRS input 1 and 2 to have 4 mono microphones time synched? I was thinking 2 sets of the newly released of Røde Wireless GO II as Mic. In my case audio from 4 microphones on 4 humans beings would join in one H5. It became a puzzle to solve.

Good clear instructions... Now let's see if I can do it 😂
👍

[SKimbrough]

I like this step by step with hands on approach. I know you didn’t create the features, but can you help me understand why there is a L & R to record both external mics on top even though they record together with no separation? Or can you arm/record say just L?

Your video has really helped my decision to purchase this over the H1n. Thank you for the effort you put into making this!

[AllThingsSeydel]

Very well done.. ! Great job. This is a quality product.. but it gets a huge failing grade on being user friendly. A lot of nuance. Deb's vid is prolly as good as any out there and explaining and she knows exactly where the potential trouble spots are.. good stuff

Helpful video, thank you. How can I record practice tracks for a choir ? Making 4 practice tracks using one background track and save all parts not mixed down.
