hey, i have been using both fcp for a long time, and also the zoom h4n a fairly recent addition. the previous post was absolutely right. fcp defaults to 48K so better to use the 48K option for the zoom h4n recordings. just a word about the h4n….. make sure to use the windscreen if outdoors, always….. and set yourself up w some decent isolating earphones to always monitor what is happening on the h4n. those mic’s (the built-in’s) are really good but are very sensitive to air pressure so if interviewing a subject keep the mic about a foot away from the speaker or even with the windscreen you may have to intuit some placement distance that works for the subjects delivery. on the other hand if you are using the recorder to pick-up ambient sound, room sound, etc….. it’s great with the built in mics.
good luck. -
hi eric. not sure where you are but i just bought the exact card at “blacks” (photo chain) for only $40 canadian. that’s about $30 less than i have seen it anywhere.
here is the weblink for the related product and supplier;looks like it is only $30US now.
there you have it.

ok eric let me save you some time. i’ve tried several and this is what i have found works;
– do not use a #2 rated card…… it will have a 2 with a circle around it.
– use a #4 rated card….. 4 w circle around it.
– i have found the kingston SD HC (high capacity) 8 gig card to be very very reliable….. and that has not been the case with other brands.
– look for the kingston 8 gig card that comes with a lifetime warranty…. that is exactly what i am using and now have a couple of them. they sometimes cost a few dollars more but are well worth it.
