Just checked, those settings are all off already (Lo Cut, Comp/Limit, Level Auto, Mono Mix, Phantom, Plug-in). Also, those settings are not available in interface mode, USB interface mode has its own dedicated menu with much more limited selection (Effect Tuner, Monitor, Phantom, Plug-in); I...

Rob, that's what that recording was, comparing recording with the Zoom as a USB interface to recording directly to the Zoom's internal storage card. When recording directly to the Zoom, it doesn't have the issue. In that recording you can hear alto sax with a variety of variables recorded as a...

Ok, did even more testing, determined it happens regardless of volume, distance, input level, or instrument. Was able to duplicate the same thing in every circumstance on both alto sax and flute in USB mode, and was unable to reproduce it under any circumstance when recording direct to SD. The...

Hi Paul, thanks for checking it more. The sound is there before any type of conversion or export, happens during immediate playback within any of a number of apps, Logic, Garageband, Audacity, etc., and on multiple operating systems (tried Audacity in boot camp Windows 10). And yes, did try...

Hi, thanks for your response. I see what you mean the way "popping" is used in that sense, I was unaware it had that universal meaning, I was just trying to describe the sound I was hearing. By modulation/distortion are you referring to the rhythmic tapping that I'm talking about (as opposed to...

I just did more testing. No matter how quiet or how far away I play with it in USB mode, the popping is still there. I would say the volume of the popping decreases and increases in conjunction with the volume of the tone. Conversely, if I record straight to the Zoom, I can blast the hell out...

What do you mean by strange modulation and distortion? The sound I'm describing is a rhythmic sort of tapping/clicking noise that happens at regular intervals. It's not present on the first 2 (lowest) notes in the recording, but is present on the last 3, especially the last (highest). Also I get...

Hello all, I have a Late 2013 Macbook Pro and a Zoom H4N Pro that I'm trying to use as an audio interface with the Zoom's built-in mics, primarily recording myself on saxophone. It works completely fine the vast majority of the time, except when I play in the upper range on alto saxophone, from...
