First thoughts on the new Zoom F4 MultiTrack Field Recorder

The new Zoom F4 field recorder was recently announced, so I decided to share my initial thoughts on it. If you’re not familiar, it’s a portable digital audio recorder that can record 6 individual tracks and a stereo mix, and it features built-in time code, high-quality mic preamps, metal construction, and some nicely designed controls. At the time of publishing it sells for $650 USD, which is a good price for a recorder with these kinds of features. Continue reading “First thoughts on the new Zoom F4 MultiTrack Field Recorder”

An unpopular opinion: The Apple MagSafe power connector was annoying

I love Macs, but I consider myself level-headed when it comes to criticizing Apple — not an apologetic fan. That’s why I’m a bit surprised by the recent backlash against the new MacBook Pro notebook computers. I don’t share the outrage. Sure, the choice of older Skylake processors over the new Kaby Lake line is a let down, but for me it ends there. Perhaps controversially, where I disagree the most is with the recently abandoned MagSafe power connector. Continue reading “An unpopular opinion: The Apple MagSafe power connector was annoying”
