Zoom F4 Limiters and Timecode Accuracy

Zoom F4 at B&H: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1260110-REG/zoom_zf4_f4_multitack_field_recorder.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/ZOF4/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xZOF4

Last week we did an overview of the new Zoom F4 audio field recorder. This is an impressive prosumer audio recorder designed for independent and enthusiast filmmakers with 4 microphone inputs and 8 track recorder.

This week, we look a little more in depth at the F4’s limiters and timecode accuracy. Don’t worry if you don’t know what all that means, we’ll run through what they are and how they can help you make better sounding recordings with less effort.

If you’d like to learn how to record and post process your sound, be sure to have a look at my sound for video courses at http://school.learnlightandsound.com  My Dialogue Sound Post Processing with Adobe Audition course just launched at the end of August 2016.
