humm, I would say 95% of the people and companies even can’t take these services (even if they wanted). reason – the price!

Google wants to charge a flat-rate annual fee of $150,000!

smells of insanity

You suggesting to put some batteries and plugin the power supply before connecting to USB? I hope this will solve my problem.

Thanks for the info. At least, now, i have something to try.

Secondly, I might go to a local shop and try out their microphones with your H4n. It’s possible that there’s been some damage to your unit, at which point you could resort to repair or warranty. I’m guessing that the built in microphones are fine. You also could try the other input, and make sure your levels are OK.

I’ve been having a different type of issue with my H4n though. NOISE. LOTS of noise! I use a Rode NTG2 shotgun mic and have tested it through my home recording gear, and the noise levels are silent as the grave so, I know it’s not my mic. But the plugged into my Zoom it’s a nightmare.

When I start trying to EQ a little high end boost and do some compression in post, the noise comes screaming through any recording dialogue, no matter how close the mic was to their mouth. The actors could eat the mic, and there would still be a ton of noise. Have you encountered this (and by the way, I’m talking the static-in-your-recording type of noise generally caused by cheap preamps)?

I can’t seem to get anyone to answer me back about this problem, and I don’t know why. Do you have any suggestions? Or am I just spoiled by my high end studio preamps and compressors at home and doomed to only solve it by splitting my bank account wide open on something else?

Super short version:  Left my job, moved to Miami, couldn’t find a job, spent savings and retirement money to live, got shitty paying job, ate lots of ramen, got my first collection notice, met a girl who left me because I was broke, met a girl who loves me regardless of whether I’m broke, spent 6 months as a hermit because I couldn’t afford to leave the house, found cheaper hobbies and found a way to make it work.  Worked hard every day regardless of how shitty and depressing my life was, got a promotion yesterday, life is getting back to normal slowly.  

Have a good friend in same situation.  He went from making 45-60k to making about 23k in a year at the same sales job.  Every job that he or I have applied for has gotten hundreds of applicants, many with graduate degrees and years of experience above us.  He too has went broke and sold may of his belongings to survive.

My sister is filing bankruptcy.  Her husband blew all of their money opening a business and soon after getting hooked on drugs and ruining everything.  Even on her decent pay as a nurse she can’t support a mortgage, car that he wrecked, and a newborn baby.  My mom has worked the same job for 23 year and is in constant fear of a layoff.  Her husband worked two back-breaking jobs and is also in fear of getting let go.  Her kids (my sister and I) would love to help but we’re so wrecked financially we simply can’t.  

Still with all of the economic  and job issues going on I’ve never felt like a better human being in my life.  I’ve learned humility, sacrifice, and thriftiness.  I’ve learned that none of the material things in my life are important than human relationships.  I’ve finally accepted the fact that money will come and go, it’s what you have in between that’s most important. 

Still FUCK being broke, and FUCK the job situation right now.  I’m a better person because of what I went though but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.  We need to elect a fiscally conservative president (of any party affiliation mind you) and lock this country down for a few years until we can all balance our check books.  The baby boomer generation should be ashamed of how bad they fucked us over and can’t expect us to bail them out and take care of them forever.  We have to teach our children not to do the things the previous generations have done that got us here and we have to lead by example. 

that’s a good line.
