Zoom H4n Handy Recorder

The Zoom H4n is a digital recording device manufactured by Zoom. It is the successor of the Zoom H4 recorder. Both models have two built-in condenser mics arranged in X/Y stereo position and two XLR microphone inputs that double as 1/4 inch phono jacks for musical instruments. Musical applications for the H4N include the ability to use the device as a multi-track (four-channel) recorder; the device also includes tools like a built-in tuner, metronome and effects processor for line-level instruments like guitars.

A H4n Digital Recorder

The H4n has a rubberized casing,[1] a larger screen and buttons that differ from the H4. The H4n (with firmware version 1.01) was released in February 2009. A firmware update to version 1.9[2] was released in October, 2015.

The recorder has become very popular as an audio add on to DSLR video cameras, as well as with podcasters.

gollark: Anyway, it compiles your entry to a shared library then invokes it via ctypes. I thought that this would be more elegant and efficient a
gollark: And yet it has GLOBALS in it?
gollark: ```pythondef c_wrapper(file): print("Compiling", file) temp = tempfile.mktemp(prefix="lib-compile-") print(temp) if subprocess.run(["gcc", file, "-o", temp, "-shared"]).returncode != 0: raise ValueError("compilation failed") library = ctypes.CDLL(temp) entry = library.entry entry.restype = ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_int)```Here's a bit of the *excellent* code.
