What is the best way to connect my H1n audio recorder to my computer via USB for transferring recordings with Zoom meetings?

To connect your H1n audio recorder to your computer and transfer recording files from it, you can follow these steps:

1. Download and install the Zoom client on your computer if you haven't already done so. You can find the installation package for your specific operating system (Windows or Mac) here: https://zoom.us/download

2. Once you have installed the Zoom client, open it and sign in to your account. If you don't have an account yet, you can create one by clicking on "Sign Up" during the login process.

4. Turn on the H1n audio recorder by pressing the power button located near the top-left corner of the unit (it's shaped like a play/pause symbol). The screen will display "H1n" followed by a series of numbers and letters representing the device's unique ID code.

5. Open the Zoom client on your computer and start or join a meeting as usual.

6. Within the Zoom meeting, click on the "^" (up arrow) icon located next to the "Mute" button at the bottom center of the screen. This will open a dropdown menu with various audio options.

7. Select "Audio Setup Wizard." The wizard will guide you through testing your microphone and speaker settings. Follow the instructions provided, making sure to choose "Tascam H1n" as your microphone input device when prompted. If your device isn't listed, click on "Show more options" and search for it manually by typing its name or model number in the search bar.

8. Once you have completed the Audio Setup Wizard, close the window and return to the main Zoom meeting screen. Your H1n audio recorder should now be properly connected and functioning as your microphone input device during the call.

9. After finishing the Zoom meeting, you can transfer the recording files from your H1n audio recorder to your computer by following these steps:
a. Power off your H1n audio recorder if it's still on.
b. Locate the small door at the bottom-right corner of the device (it resembles a book cover). Gently push down on the edge of this door to open it.

d. Remove the SD card containing your recordings by gently pushing on the edge of the card until it pops out of its slot.
e. Insert the SD card into an SD card reader connected to your computer. If your computer doesn't have a built-in SD card reader, you can use a USB adapter or purchase a standalone SD card reader that connects via USB.
f. Once the SD card is properly inserted into your computer, locate and open the files contained within it using a file explorer program like Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
g. Select all the audio files you want to transfer from the H1n recorder and copy them to a desired location on your computer (e.g., Desktop, Documents folder, etc.).

That's it! You have successfully transferred your Zoom meeting recordings from your H1n audio recorder to your computer.

How do I properly set up my H1n with Zoom for audio recording during virtual meetings?

To properly set up your H1n with Zoom for audio recording, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Connect the H1n to your computer using the included USB cable.

Set your Speaker and Microphone to "Default Device. To test your audio settings, click on the "Test Speaker & Microphone" button. You should hear a sound through your speakers and see a visual representation of your voice in the microphone section. If you don't hear any sound or see distortion, make sure your microphone is turned on and adjusted to the appropriate levels. Once you've confirmed that your audio settings are correct, close the Settings menu and return to the main Zoom window. When joining a meeting or hosting a virtual event, ensure that you have enabled "Original Sound" in the Audio Options during the meeting setup to capture the highest quality sound from your H1n microphone. Remember, if you want to record the audio from your Zoom meetings, you'll need to enable local recording in the Settings menu under the Recording section. This will allow you to save a copy of the audio on your computer while still being able to participate in the meeting.
