Thanks Kévin for your answer. I had a answer from Zoom in NY: "Thank you for contacting us with your question. The U-24 is not supported on Android devices, so this may just be a limitation. We apologize for the inconvenience".
I'm surprised they said that as I used it with my phone and Android tablets many times.
Will I have the same awesome accent when I buy the Zoom U24?
Haha here's hoping 😀
Thank you for your effort and for the thorough presentation. I am going to purchase the U-240 now.
Sorry for my typo there, I meant of course the U-24.
Super demo grts Marc
These devices must come with ground loop pre eliminated so that you dont get that annoying hum and noise sounds in background. kudos brother 👌
Yeah it seems great. I'm impressed given what I paid.
Hello!!! First of all, thanks for the review. You have to wonder if the Zoom U-24 can be used with a smartphone with an Android system. Greetings from Argentina!!!
You shouldn't have any issues using it with an Android phone.
Argentina is such a beautiful country. I loved my time there ❤️
THank you for the video... good tutorial.
You're welcome.
Good review. 👍 Thank 🤘
You're welcome.
Hi Kévin.
I finally resolve my problem. Zoom told me smartphone are not compatible with Zoom.
I used the socket for cask. First it didn't work because I used a cable with 2 contacts. With 3 contacts, it's OK.
Thanks LUC
Glad you resolved it.
Hi Kevin, I realise this is an old video but I'm about to buy one of these for a purpose but I have a question about your video.
When you were speaking into the mic it was going into Adobe Audition on one side of the stereo waveform only.
I hope to use it for broadcasting the audio from two nice online live but I don't want one mic's audio going out on the left channel and the other on the right.
Would this be an issue for me? 🤔
No it will be fine.
Most vocal mics are mono instead of stereo, but your software or app can ensure the chance is duplicated so a stereo output is created from your mono input.
I use OBS and that handles that for me.
@@KevinMuldoon Thank you - fair play to you for the quick response 👌
@@aferdia72 you're welcome.
Brilliant video pal, sorry this might be a question you've already answered; if i have two guitarists plugged into inputs 1&2 from their amp line out, can i then use this main out of this to a headphone amp/splitter so that both guitarists can hear each other?
Yeah that should work.
I did something similar with my other mixer, feeding the headphone jack into a headphone amplifier with four outputs.
Hi Kevin! It's a great review. I would like to know if this Zoom U-24 can connect to an Android or not. I want to use my Android phone to live-stream my live singing performance on Facebook. The set-up is as follows:
- A condenser microphone is connected to a mixer.
- This mixer will be connected to Zoom U-24 which is connected to my Android phone.
Or, even better, if possible, can I connect a mixer straight to my Android phone? I should need an OTG cable for that, right? Please help! I'm hopeless....
Yes the U24 will work directly to a phone, tablet, laptop, pc etc. I did a few streams using it. You will need a otg cable to connect to your phone, but that's fairly cheap.
As far as connecting a mixer, I have put a line in signal or mixer into the U24, but I'm sure it would work fine.
@@KevinMuldoon Thanks a lot!!!
Broooo...cool. let me just ask you something so, is it possible to connect on pc and use with drums module like tm2 module?
Can I plug in my guitar and listen my playing through headphone without connecting the Zoom U-24 to computer via USB?
Yes you can. As long as the headphones are connected to the zoom u24 you should be fine.
Hi Kevin. When i have aux out from mixer on Zoom inputs=i have the same signal on all Zoom outputs? Thank you.
The aux out connection should be a mix of all inputs.
Hi I bought this one, I can't connect a mic to input 2, nothing happens. should I return it?
Yeah it sounds like it's broken.
If i turn the gain knobs to the max i can hear a treble buzzing in the channel 2 from 9 to 10 of gain that i dont hear in channel 1. Is it normal that the 2 inputs acts differently? With nothing connected to them?
That normally suggests there's a loose connection there or the gain level is up too high.
The two connections should work in the same way if they are configured using the same settings.
@@KevinMuldoon thanks!
Hi Kevin, great detailed video! I was just wondering what connection lead I would need to connect this to my iPhone please mate?
I'm not at home just now, but I think I use a USB (female) to type c connector. You'd need an iPhone lightning cable equivalent.
That’s very much mate! Much appreciated
Hey Kevin, nice video! What is the difference between the Zoom H5 and this one? I'm considering something like this for voice overs in place of a regular interface (Focusrite Scarlet, etc). You wouldn't have a comparison video already made between the two, right? Thanks a lot in advance for details when replying, man!
Hi Luis.
I have a few videos about the Zoom H6 (though it is going back a few years now).
The Zoom H5 is undoubtedly a better audio interface than the U-24 and has more options, but the biggest difference is that the H5 is also a recorder.
If you don't need portability, I would stick with a desktop audio interface.
There's a lot of things to consider though, such as budget, what mics you are recording, how many input devices, what features you need etc.
@@KevinMuldoon Hey Kev, thanks a lot for your reply man. I can't agree more with you. I think I'll get the Focusrite Scarlet for now and if I need to, I'll get the H5 later for portability.
As far as mics (for vocals), which one would you pick between the AT4040 and Rode NT1? Thanks again for your details, Kev!
@@luisamedina1 I've actually not tested either of those, but I have seen good reviews of both of them. I have been using the Shure SM7B myself the last few years.
If your budget can stretch to it, also check out the Zoom F6 and Zoom F8N. I picked up the older Zoom F8 myself.
Nice video! I want to buy an interface, Focusrite 3gen 2i2, Audient ID4 or Zoom U-24? I want it to record me playing the flute with a condenser mic. Can you help me? Thank you!!
It depends on your budget. I think the Audient ID4 would be good, but I'm biased as my ID22 has been great.
Do you still have this? Any chance you could do a video about the PC driver interface? I cannot find it anywhere
I still have it, but will probably sell it at one point as I haven't used it in years.
I just downloaded the driver from the Zoom website.
@@KevinMuldoon What are you using now, mate?
@@Bkcommercialphotography I have the Audient id22 and the Zoom F8.
@@KevinMuldoon Thanks!
Is there any app installation to my computer before I use that zoom audio Interface like of the Focusrite?
I don't recall them having a dedicated app, but they do offer firmware updates.
@@KevinMuldoon I see. That's helpful. Thanks Kevin. 👍
You're welcome.
Sorry Kev call me stupid, but those XLRs are combo 3.5 (1/4") Jack or xlr. Then you probably got the option like my h2n and others in menu/input to turn plugin power on.
I watched your other Vid (cool btw) about u24 audio interface and when you mentioned it I thought Eh? There's a combo jack..... I dunno, please correct me. Be lucky 🍀
Sorry, I'm not 100% sure what you're asking. Can you clarify 👍
Yes the XLR ports are combo 1/4" ports too (e.g. for guitar cables).
@@KevinMuldoon I think he's asking if you can plug in lav mics etc via the 1/4 socket?
@@isaac_englart Most lav mics require plugin power so you'll need an XLR to plugin power converter such as the Rode VXLR+.
@@KevinMuldoon ahh OK makes sense. Was just a brain itch. 😊
@@KevinMuldoonJust to clarify though does this unit have the option in menu to use plugin power like the H2n to provide additional power to a jack input ie lavalier mics?
Does it produce lot of hiss sounds like other zoom products?
I haven't found that myself.
For me it won't do louder than -6 then it Clips.. what can i do?
You ideally don't want to go over that anyways, but it could be worth trying some different mics to see how the levels compare.
Figured out my Broadcast Headset hast 560 Ohm Impedance.. don't know how to work with that…. never been that good with the technical part
Ahh so it's a limitation of the mic. I've never came across that myself.
Looks like the preamp is to weak 🤔 tried another interface and that worked. So people with broadcast work should keep that in mind if they use broadcast headsets like the BPHS1
is this good for a podcast?
It can be used for a podcast, but ideally, you want to use an audio recorder that records to an SD card too. That ensures that if something goes wrong with your computer, you don't lose the recording.
mackie onyx 2*2 or zoom u24?
I've never tried any Mackie devices, but I was impressed with the Zoom U24. I only gave it to my friend as I bought the Zoom F8.
can you send the link of headphones adaptor?
You'll find them on Amazon, eBay and other online shops. They're sold by hundreds of companies.
@@KevinMuldoon thank you and is it 6.35 mm jack adaptor?
Yeah. You can get those 6.35 audio jack's rverywhere (I actually thought you were talking about a USB type C adapter previously).
@@KevinMuldoon ok thank you very much ❤️👍
Just picked one up for 40 bucks at a pawn shop :)
Nice. Performing well?
umm.... just why... i want it now
It is pretty great. Doesn't record, but that's not an issue for me as I will always be using it with something.
Kevin Muldoon ok
