Good to know those things. Thanks

At the beginning I thought every device similar to H4n (pocket recorders)

could record all the inputs at the same time, but later I noticed that

there are some that had a limited number of channels to record at once, 2

normally.

It's great to be able to record 3 or 4, you could record 2 OH, snare and

kick just with a little device. It's not the best, but definitively is very

useful.
Maybe nowadays there is another device that can handle 4 inputs and has

better recording quality.
