Recording on the H4essential while using it as an audio
interface
As explained in “Connecting to computers, smartphones and tablets”, the H4essential can record while it is
being used as an audio interface if the Mode is set to “Audio I/F + REC”. In this case, recording settings can
be made in the same way as when using it as a recorder.
See the references below and make recording settings.

the Mixer Screen
When recording, the levels of the sounds as input or the levels as
