Thus, if your idea is an HD recording handled by Logic Pro X, Reaper or whatever DAW you might think of, just forget about the H4n.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the H6: to use it as a sound card that records at 24\/96 you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>mount one mic capsule on the H6 front socket,<\/li>\n<li>stick&nbsp; jack into the Input 1 socket (the first on the left, facing the recorder) connected to your instrument<\/li>\n<li>power on the device and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/using-the-zoom-h6-as-an-audio-interface\/\"><strong>select the appropriate options from the main menu<\/strong><\/a>,<\/li>\n<li>select the &#8220;multi track&#8221; option in the Audio Interface menu,<\/li>\n<li>start a new Logic Pro X project<\/li>\n<li>setting the H6 as the input source<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>NOW PAY ATTENTION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Logic Pro X sees the stereo channels of the mic as &#8220;input 1&#8221; and &#8220;input 2&#8221;.
